boxy lover Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 i thought id tell you a bit about beatsie's history. the reg is 4 FLI i think thats 85, correct me if im wrong. The previous owner did a bit of a bodge job fitting the engine a 1.3 efi [meaty] he seemed to have rushed fitting the loom so is wired all funny, like it doesnt switch on, it charges sum times so may need a new loom, but when i say new i mean ripped out of an unsuppecting starlet awaiting the crusher im a tight fooker. so other than that im quite happy.ohh and if anyone has a front bumper for an ep70 let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boxy lover Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 i got my bucket seats back today from being upholstered got both seats recovered for â?¬50 (bargain) when i got the seats i got them of a good friend of mine who took them out of his rally car as they were out of date so got them for â?¬00.00 but they were torn and the fabric was hanging of it plus it was blue and the didnt recline but i wasnt going to argue with him. So i got them recovered in lush, black and grey and then started work on the rails. what a BAS**RD im sure a lot of you know what it like trying to make them fit but got one done and am really happy there really comfy as well as being a full race seat ohh, and does anyone know if a ep82 or ep91 strut brace fit an ep70 Connor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If you're on a low budget and handy with tools it might be possible to make your own strut braces.After all it's just a bar with some holes in either end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
