I thought it was going to be much more than that, where you got them from? ebay? what do i search for? sorry for the bother lol
Well i have just gone through another MOT and no problems, they also fittted my new outer CV joints and the steering feels better and the anoying knocking on full lock has gone. I fitted my new drivers side bolster to the Golf GTi Recaros so thats as good as new now aswell, just got to sell the S3 leather recaro's now to fund the turbo rebuild/Hybrid work. I have also done some more tarting up on the engine bay so thats looking better.
You've still got the leathers!
Glad all is ok. I took mine for an awesome drive out to Wales over the last couple of days and it was amazing! Loved it.

Yeah and me, got a couple of advisories, hand brake cable will need replacing soon and both front tyres are a bit close to the limit on the inside edge, not bad considering 10 years old and 118000 miles.
Hasn't happened since I got the clutch position switch back on, I havn't done the ABS sensor yet but it only happens when it rains so I'm pretty sure it's the wiring.
Bloody annoying they let you down ay!

Well after the pipercross sitting in my garage all week i eventually got it fitted, you can see in the pics how much bigger it is than the Jetex.
LOL Bill Is there anything you like you dont sell? This was Recommended by Backdraft this are the filter they use on all their cars. (Apparently)
Lee i wasn't saying bigger was better
merely pointing out how much bigger it is than the Jetex, I will be doing logs as well, funny thing i logged the car with my LC de screened ally maf holder and then changed to a screened LCR Maf and lost 27BHP??? (With the Jetex) so now de- screened the LCR maf and put the Piper on so we will see what it does.

Blue piping is a stop gap while i work on something ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
That may have to wait now, i have found the reason for the drop in BHP well it was probably a symptom of what eventually happened, i went out this morning to log the changes and no boost, came home and found the turbo seized solid 
so that's that. As mentioned before i was planning on getting the turbo re-built and it would have been by now if the buyer of my S3 recaro's hadn't backed out, so that's the next thing i need to do is sell them and then get the turbo rebuilt.
Any one want a set of Leather S3 Recaro's?
