  1. Finally bought a new seat today, chose for the Sparco R100, because it's just a really good seat and it's reasonably affordable. :p

    Only went for a small test drive, but it's a pretty huge improvement over that standard (shitty :p ) seat. This one really holds you perfectly in place and it's also comfortable. The fabric and stitching is all good quality as well, can definitely recommend this seat. :)

  2. It's about time for a new update I think! (although it's nothing major B) )

    Last week I got the oil changed, new brake pads on the front and rear (OEM pads) and got my HKS actuator fitted while they were working at it anyway.

    At first the length of the actuator was too short, it was 123 mm exactly like in the manual, but that was too short so it was hitting fuel cut. Changed it to 124.5-125 mm and now it's boosting to 0.8 bar perfectly, so at last it's quicker again. :p (With the worn actuator I was driving around with the gay restriction)

    Quite pleased with the HKS actuator as well. It just boosts notably quicker than before with the worn actuator (which was actually not a Toyota OEM part, but a Turbonetics actuator). I also have the ring in the vacuum line from the actuator to the turbo which also makes a difference, because at first I thought it was hitting fuel cut because of that ring, so I took it out, but put it back in later, since it builds up boost slightly quicker.

    2 weeks ago, I borrowed a Meguiar's headlight restoration kit and used it on the headlights. Pretty please with the result! B)

    Also changed the floor mats, because they were really worn:

    And also changed the gear knob (again, because you can never have enough different gearknobs :D ), just testfitted here:

    Also my dad bought an RX-8, which is pretty awesome to drive! B)

    Sooo, not a huge update, but at least the boost is back (and better than ever). :)
