Liam_D Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Like the others have said, looking forward to seeing these twin TB's, but how are you gonna be able to pay the insurance on this?? As you are younger then me (i think) and indsurance wont touch me with any engine mods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 i know lol...endsleigh would quote with 3 mods i think, and alot of companies let you do what you want with the interior....or if worst comes to the worst bits may have to come off for the time being...anyhows, im about to go and sort these recaro's out, so ill update with progress later.

RobSR Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 some pics of the interior as it is now...also, been sorting out the airel for the X1R . As its stupid, it has to be ran to the brain, that is under the seat.. All the wires have been run down the center console and under the carpet aswell, as they used to be just tucked under the trim...All works now so i have radio, and visual traffic jam updates All the wires the stupid thing needs:- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Those headunits are very flash always fancied one with a scree, can you watch movies on them? Now that would be good for traffic jams! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 ste - i dont recall seeing the center console, so my guess is he removed it to get the centerconsole off (gear gaitor wont go over it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Those headunits are very flash always fancied one with a scree, can you watch movies on them? Now that would be good for traffic jams! ;)yup they are very good, easily one of the best nav systems in the world, along with all the entertainment stuff it offers....you can watch movies etc...but you idealy want to rewire so it thinks the handbrake is always on, as normally when the handbrake is off, it knows your driving, and stops you using quite alot of features for safe....if that makes sense The best bit about it, is the vechile dynamics bit...see how many G-Forces you can pull round a bend ;)And yes, the gearknob was off becuase the dash was coming off. ;)Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 thats cool if you can tell your g force could be like a competition if a few of your mates had them too lol. you should use some autosol on that exhaust it would bring it up like new! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 right, thanks to scutch, all the reclining mech has been drilled out off the old frame, so we're basically left with just the runners...two of the mounting holes line up to screw onto the seats, but the rear two tabs are about 2-3 inches to far forward, so some custom tabs will be made up for them...and then after that, simply bolt the seat and frame into the car!some pics, of what has been done with them...seat bolting to standard frame:-The gap...tab needs to be movedpart assembledframe without the mech. onI think its going to look pretty swish, ill also get the old bits of plastic to fit over the sides of the rail, so the metal/spring isnt on show....im also thinking they are going to sit higher than the standard seats aswell, so will have to see, and if so, find a way to sort that out!!!Massive thanks to scutch0 for doing the frame mate Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 righto, more news on the seats, all was going well, got a bit of thick metal sorted out etc, so the rear tab bolt hole could be extended further....clamped it all in place got a couple of welds on it, and then my mates welder broke...so havent got that far with it...may not look nice, but even with just 2 spots its rock solid, and doesnt budge...but obviously, it'll all be welded once he's sorted the welder...Im also gonna spray that rusty metal black....
