Just to revive this thread, cos I thought it was a good un'

Couple of months ago fitted some new front seats, but only just got round to taking a pic. They were an ebay special, bought from a chap who had them fitted to his trackday M3, but was gonna go racing, so needed proper FIA approved seats.
They're very snug around my generous size, and as you can see barely used. I had to make some little brackets to get them to line up on the standard rails, but now work very nicely...

Anyone else done anything recently ?

Uhm... does collecting her from the garage after a mend count?
Last things I did was an oil change, then attempt to fit an electric switch to the drivers seat. Wrong part. And the switch is screwed directly to the frame. And the screws are bent. So it's just been removed and the socket's left dangling next to the seat until I can work out what the proper mount should be.
Tempted to just forget the electric motor thing and fit a standard seat (maybe 4th gen ones?). Less to go wrong! :lol:

Thanks i think it's a nice improvement, but it was not a good fit at all. I had to bend all of the fixing mounts to get it in and then make new hole for the screws :evil:

Fitted some new rubber recently. Went from the Toyo T1R which I quite liked, to the supposedly better Michelin Pilot Sports..

I did a trackday at Brands Hatch last week, and the handling seemed a bit different, as I was getting more understeer, which is odd as I have so much negative camber and heavy rear anti-roll bar now..

New rears
