I'm surprised it took them so long!!

[happy-kat]

no idea about safety and/or insurance implications but a good auto aplosterer may be able to shave an inch or two from the seat base foam or even prepare you a seperate foam base to just use on track days

Thinking back you can't go the sunroof route as we decided in an earlier thread that you were going to bolt the spare wheel to the roof a-la Safari rally. Can't give any further advice unfortunately as Mrs B has the opposite problem with V4 she has to sit on a cushion to see over the steering wheel quite frightening if she's driving towards you as the car looks to be self propelled, perhaps I should buy her a fluorecent skid lid so she'll stand out!

Memories of driving in Dorset, with little old Ladies in Nissan Micras, looking through the steering wheel, frightning really.

Al i have a seat you can try in your car, it is from the old Ka Rally car which are side mount so they should drop low enough for you but it will mean swaping it for track days

cheers al that is really good news.

i take it that the seat will drop down a bit then??

probably needs to go about an inch.

will pm you in a bit me old matey.

its strange as me and chris yesterday tried a few things with the seat ( not them sort of things, perverts) and i just seem to sit too high.

we are about the same height well im about 1 inch taller but he seems to sit lower in the seat, we also checked i am right down in the seat. bloddy long torso i have

david was saying something about you can get runners that just bolt straight to the floor and the seat would slide on these???? like the m3 csl.

another seat is the thing im gonna go for and just swop it over for when im going out on track

hopefully it wont take to long once i get the hang of it.

Get a custom subframe made up as the ford one is a bit high.

Or buy a base mount bucket seat for track days and just bolt it in the day before.

might be a squeeze getting my big arse in a bucket seat lol

[Trix]

Just try a different helmet design...

This seems like a good one linky

[Big Boy Al]

what about one of these ??

[bpanther]

Mr AIS FRP...

I have a pair of Sparco Evo fixed buckets in blue (removeable covers, FIA approved, etc)... Not sure if they have base mounts (i'd have to check)... but when they were in my Puma with side mounts the driving position was like a kart. Forget about hearing those crackles and pops, u could feel em thru the seat of ur pants!

Not too sure how u'd get to see/try em tho being so far away, and me being such a regular meet attender!

[Big Boy Al]

ooh they sound good too lee.

would only need the one though.

where abouts are you as i dont mind a drive but wouldnt be for about a month.


wonder if my big arse would squeeze in them .


good news though looks like theyll be a way around this


how long do you think it would take to fit then unfit ????

as would like to just fit it for while im out then take it out while on the stand ??

[Rog]

Or do what you have to do first thing in the morning as we can be about an inch shorter first thing in the morning!

Middlesbrough... about 45m south of Newcastle (u-tyne)... so a fair way!

I'll need to take a look at one see if there's base mounting holes tho when i am next down where they're stored... if there is, then i reckon few mins to fit em. Tis dead easy with the side mounts... but obviously that's no good... lol.

Would be no probs just lettin one go... they're sat there at the min doing nowt... tho i had an idea about turning the ZS into a van and using em in that... but that aint gonna happen... not at mo any rate.

It's an inch taller in the morning. People shrink slightly throughout the day as their spines compress under bodyweight, and then it all stretches out again when they sleep.

I've often had to adjust the interior mirror slightly because of this!

I concurr

Al you have to get up at 4am stand up all day and you can drive your car at 8pm

[Jessie]

[Mikey B]

That's not something you want done on the cheap!
