The JDM 100ps are very quick, 85 drove alright with it, noticable difference to my Carat JDM 75ps. Im gonna strip down the 100ps at some point, Geo reckons the internals are different.
Street racing is frowed upon by certain members anyway, personally i fuckin love it. I raced a police car once, it was behind me with blue lights on and a weird noisy horn thing ?? It was only a 1.7 astra so i smoked it in my auto daily wagon legacy bus wagon beast.
Good stuff I finished one of my seats to, ended up retrimming the bottom half of an 85 seat in GT trim and using the GT upper back section aswell, so i dont have pikey up any rails etc, it all bolts down as it should, well chuffed lol
I got a quote of 70 quid from a machine shop to lighten & balance a standard one. You cant just got drilling holes in it really it has to be balanced with the clutch, or ideally with the crank too.
Are they MK1 GT seats, school tie diagonal pattern ? I had that issue when i put them in my old MK3, i just used harnesses instead of seatbelts. Suppose you could source some MK2/3 seat rails with the seatbelt mounting points and then swap them onto those seats. I'm having similar issues just now putting GT seats in my 85.
