Sewing sucksI am trying to make this thing as comfortable as possible, Seats are on my list to do. I hate the seats I have now they are really uncomfortable.
I have the factory titanium grey/w red stitching, but they have small tears In them. I may try the Dave approach and sew them.
Not sure it will be possible, I looked at them the other day and the tear is in the vinyl and parts of the piping are torn.... I suppose I could do the full Dave rebuild with seat foam and all.... but I'm gonna see what my JY options are.Sewing sucks
The seat foam really makes a big difference Steve. I know at $150 per seat it's kind of pricey, but boy does it change the feel of the seat.Not sure it will be possible, I looked at them the other day and the tear is in the vinyl and parts of the piping are torn....

Uhhmm, not sure those are UPR springs. UPR uses Eibach springs, and have a part number like "14-150" and only appear to go up to 200#.I assume they are the 350# springs
Part number read as follows.
11. 2-350-64.5-64.5
They were on the race car, we used the new coilovers that came with the k member. So the old Springs we used on my car.
Thing rides like a dream and stays planted in the corners...

It's Monday again so as I promised here are some pictures of the coil over installation.
gutting the old chit.
here is my sideways picture of the assembled coil over assembly... we had to cut the dust cap off the strut. Then installation was pretty straight forward. my world is on its side today....
Ready for final assembly, still needed to tighten everything up.
Why haven't I put these on before now? I'm stupid. That's why.
Car drives better rides better brakes better.... well it's just better.
I did lift the nose of the car up about 1/2 inch or so, now it doesn't bottom out when I hit the brakes hard.
Now please forgive my ignorance but this is really the first time I've actually looked into coilovers kits (I was looking at the MM ones at LMR) and they look like they're just the springs over the strut (Granted accommodating struts are needed. Use of Koni, Tokico, Lakewood or KYB) Am I right?
Thanks, I'll check that out.Very close....There is a spring perch that is installed over the strut with an adjustment ring screwed on. The spring is then installed next followed by the coilover hat on top of the spring. The strut is then mounted at normal to the spindle and caster/camber plates.
One item to know though..... You need to buy aftermarket caster/camber plates before installing coilovers. The stock ones can't withstand the installation of coilovers on them.
A good read for you...http://www.maximummotorsports.com/assets/install/pdf/front_susp/MMCC7989r6.pdf
No "dislike" button to use here. Fortunately, when I'm in the shop, I don't get bugged. I can't believe she can't find it. Must be so much guy stuff in there her allergies flare up so she stays away.
Instead of a dislike button (potential for misuse is obvious), I'm leaning toward a "WTF" button. Still mulling it over.
Wish I could actually be of some help,sadly I got nothing..... Maybe the blades on the throttle bodie's are not 100% synced up?Got to drive the car around town tonight, took the wife on a nice cruise. Things went well but I have a few things to note.... wife no likey when the car creeps into boost and the front lifts, it scares her.
Still getting some exhaust and crank case smells in the car..... I am going to have to move the catch can off the fire wall. I also think I may hate my headers they come loose every 3000miles.
Car nearly stalled a few times for no reason, (when I am creeping along and press the clutch in it stumbles on itself) I am certain this is caused by my tandem throttle body setup and the large volume between them (acts like a massive plenum between the supercharger and manifold).... I am open for ideas on this one. (Solution may be a cam swap **** this e303).
For reference the setup is as follows...
75mmtb mounted to a m90sc-6' of 3" pipe and a huge fmic-To a 65mm tb on an elbow to a funnel Web intake. There is a bypass installed.
At low rpm/idle there is 5" vacuum in the intercooler and 14"in the plenum.
Priority #1 Will it sound cool?Called a few places today and the concensus was a CompCams 284HR grind. Any thoughts?
