After 10 years of ownership I've decided to swap out my OEM seats for two reasons. 1.I have owned many cars but in comparison I've never really felt that the Z seats were that comfortable or supportive. 2. They are beginning to look tired even after very little use and also if any of you guys have ever removed one they are bloody heavy! My spec is as follows. Leather or alcantara reclining type seat with harness holes in the back and I'm not bothered about airbags or heated elements. I have a shortlist but would value any other opinions as it's probably the biggest interior mod for any car. 1. Recaro CS. Struggling with the fact that it's covered in what they call Ambla leatherette( us old gifts call this Plasic or vinyl) for £1100! True leather £1700. 2. Nismo Juke Recaro seats. True leather and alcantara but rare as hens teeth but not too keen on the giant side airbags! 3. Cobra misano anniversary which I'm told may be too wide at the shoulders even though there are guys on the American forum who have fitted them but I've not seen a shot with the door shut! Lol. Zeditus is a shocking affliction.........

I know it seems a long way off and summer still hasn't kicked in yet! Lol, but if you want to be on our club stand the tickets are only available for purchase until the 1st September. Come on guys surely we can get 30 cars together.

Very nice Martin! Bet your well chuffed.

Nice looking car! Welcome to th forum.

Sorry to see you go chap. lovely car and a bargain price! GLWTS.

Welcome along to the forum

Brilliant afternoon at the Zed Shed once again with some old and new faces. As ever Kim and the team put on the banquet do die for( Katrina ate too much cake again ) and well done to Beb for standing in a cloud of smoke for several hours producing perfectly cooked meat!! As Pappa would say " I love this place"

On our way with chairs!

Another weekend bump. Great show and venue guys. Who can resist a free t shirt!

Very nice!

You have had a good run with that box Alex and I'm hoping my one will soldier on! Thinking the internals of the Zed box was robbed from a truck when designed. Lol

Hi guys. Can we have a few more of you buying tickets please as I want the organisers to see that we are coming on mass. Dont want to be positioned 1/2 mile away from all the action at the back of the outfield!

Sorry for the Shelsley video delay (which is crap quality, go pro on shopping list)but a holiday and a brilliant messy weekend in Coventry distracted me! looking forward to gaining new skills at CAT Millbrook on Wednesday. Also want to say a big "B0--0X to you" Photobucket for wiping out over 5 years of images of my hard work!

Would be good to see you on board mate!

Cracking weekend Lexx! Thanks to you and the team for organising. As you have said we need to keep the momentum going so we can all enjoy many more future events!

Been away on holiday so just a gentle bump!

Liking that Steve!

It stuck again on the way home from the Bristol breakfast meet the other weekend so I sanded down the brass piston some more and luckily it was fine over the weekend considering the heat. The unreliability is driving me nuts so another make,or repositioning seems to be the way forward.

A few pics from a very hot Sunday at Shelsley Walsh last Sunday. It was a round of the HSA and other championships. Got another second in class but again got duffed up by a Celica GT4. Really struggling against these light 4x4 Rally cars as again down by nearly a second on launch and through the twisties but through the mid way and finish line speed traps I'm going 20 mph faster. I'm sure some of it is down to my lack of confidence as the car definitely has a lot more to give. Video footage to follow.

Very slick! Well done mate.

Welcome along! Don't listen to anyone on this forum as you may contract Zeditus.

Really enjoyed JDM yesterday with three track sessions with all the usual suspects! Well the old sticking BOV problem came back on my way home! There are many souls on here that have witnessed and have helped me with this affliction. Basically I've been struggling with the Turbosmart BOV which when it sticks open I get no boost! I'm on the second one now and after reading on the Evo forums who suggest you sand down and polish the brass piston,which I have done,the bloody thing still sticks! Took it apart today and rubbed the brass monkey to death and Woosh! We have boost again. Not sure what's going on here but I'm thinking of try another brand as the lack of reliability Is driving me nuts. So some good news. Got confirmation of entry to Shelsley Walsh this coming Sunday for the Reg Phillips Trophy and a round of the HSA championship so if anyone is at a loose end it would be great to have a bacon roll and a catch up. Granville I promise to sort out the dash cam!

Club stand booked so a stand pass could be still available a month beforehand. The earlier we get confirmed numbers,the better stand location we will be allocated.
