D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

[D.K]

TBH mate I could'nt really afford the full set of Recaro's and Brad beat me to them
I will still get them wet vac'd, just wanted to see if I could get them clean.

Let me know if you get those bits mate

 

[t0m]

Only the fronts were available Dan. The guy he got them from was having the rears.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Ah see I don't see the point in getting the rears on there own lol but there going to look good , my mate hired a big wet vac and the amount of dirt that came out the seats was unreal

Will keep you posted

darren used a vax on my seats a couple of months ago and they cam eup a treat nice buy , shame about the splitter

 

[t0m]

The guy already had the fronts. I reckon Daz should get the rears now too.

 

[EL]

Are you sure it's water stains on those seats? Lol

Shame about the splitter mate. Time to get that V3 splitter ready and fitted. Still loving mine and it isn't even finished off yet

 

[drka-drka]

Ouch on the splitter mate, another one to come along?

Front seats look like a great edition they'r so much better than the other ones, when I drove Kats car I couldn't believe how much better they are

Horrible seats I hate them. Ok that's a lie but I'm going to pretend I hate them because then I can pretend I don't want or need them in my life lol

The cars not been feeling right for a while now so with El's help yesterday we ran a few log's, TBH I dont understand any of what we did all I know is I had to thrash the nut's off my baby The one thing I was worried about was that it seemed to be running a bit rich, thankfully the logs showed that the fuel trim's are fine but during the logs we did find another problem, after 5k the car seems to loose boost and power then regain it again up to the limiter, on another run the boost cut in and out several time's between 5k and the limiter. I dont normally drive the car in that rev range so I've not noticed it before. We had a quick check around the bay and we did find a couple of loose breather hoses which I'll hopfully get sorted next weekend, I've also got the Forge breather hoses that sit under the inlet manifold to go on that I've had for ages, hopfully it is just a loose hose somewhere as the other thing we're thinking it could be is the actuator

As it was too cold to do any engine work today I decided to have a look at the Recaro's.
I wanted to find out why the driver's lower right bolster was so lumpy so I set about taking the seat apart.

This is what I found

I anyone else takes a seat apart what ever you do dont remove the seat hight adjustment assemble, it's a pig to get back on.

So know I've striped the base down I'll order a new base cushion and rebuild it all then get the covers wet vac'd.

Thanks Dan, I'm hoping thats all it is anyway

 

[EL]

Got to love a good bodge job lol

Let get the engine checked and sorted so it's running as it should. Then go for some more logs as I know you loved it

 

[RDS]

The lower right bolster is a known problem on these recaros, mine had the same issue (although it hadn't been bodged). I ordered a new base foam for mine, I should really pull my finger out and get them sorted.

 

[D.K]

Where did you get it from Richard ?

 

[drka-drka]

R32 wheel is on

Big thanks to Maz (Jonjay) And Kenny@AmDEssex

You should of said mate and I'd of posted it for you
The R32 wheel is really nice, much nicer to hold than the normal 225 wheel.
Do you want me to go looking for you again

 

[t0m]

Erm once you find Derek an R32 wheel please can you help me locate one..

 

[drka-drka]

Haha I was thinking that but tbh trawling thru your thread is fine as plenty of pretty pictures for me.

That's what I like to hear I think it looks alot more classy as well.

No need iv got a mint one lined up back in Scotland (unless you can beat £130) which I think seems fair
