Cab

Sorted

After a set of 17x8 if anyone has some. It’s for an e36 so only after the 17x8’s. Ideally without tyres. I’m in Auckland. Thanks

Not superior in style. Older the better.

Have a set of 18” M-Pars coming, will do coilovers at the same time. Will manual convert later in the year and once that’s done I’ll just do stainless headers and exhaust. Don’t want to stray too far away from factory unless I can put original parts back on easily.

Yeah but look at them, they look like crap 😂. I’m the type of person who would drop $20k on a low mileage example (because I did), but wouldn’t look twice at either of those. Big difference between a cared for, garaged, supermarket trip once a week example and one that’s sat outside deserted for 20 years. Apples and oranges. Also, In regards to a paint correction needing doing, it must have been done recently because it’s spotless. Anyways! I’ll take proper photos and put up a showroom thread sometime this coming week. Cheers

Yep, sold. I bought it. It’s in as new condition. Sure, you can buy a “tidy” one for around 10k with 100,000km on it but I would rather spend and extra $9,000 for one that’s literally in “as new” condition with 25,000km on the clock. You won’t find a nicer one.

Thanks mate. Yeah they also ride a lot better than 19s which I previously ran ?

You should alcantara wrap your woodgrain areas

I wouldn’t worry about failing a WOF due to being catless - I’ve never had an issue on multiple cars over the past 10 years or so ??

Interior all sorted for now. Next I’ll re-do the door cards in alcantara to match the seats and steering wheel. Pretty happy with the current layout ??

All sorted guys - returned the originals and went to NZKW, fit straight away..

Haha na if anything I need to weld another plate on. I’m horrible at explaining things lol. The red dots on the image below are where the recaro seat holes are. I have a feeling I was supplied the wrong part so gonna re check. Edit: I wasn’t supplied NZKW frames, just using as an example image.

I mean length-wise. From a birds eye view the bottom two holes in the base are about 2cm lower than where they need to be. I’ve got a plan B with some slide rails that I’ll attempt tomorrow and see how it goes

The holes in the frame are about 2cm too low on their universals. Even when I asked them if they were compatible they said some people who also have Recaros up returning them for the same reason.. so I wasn’t too surprised!
