I feel like this is literally what always happens whenever you try to do something "simple" on a car. Every time I start a project on my car I've never done before, I make an estimate of how long it will take, and then triple it.
@davisharr9 жыл бұрын
Really hope you are getting bucket seats... the way the harnesses are mounted now in any big accident the headrest would bend/break, your harness would suddenly be loose and you would slip out of them, flying into the wheel and then bouncing off the wheel and hitting your head on the roll bar because the headrests fell off. If you get good seats however it will be track ready and no longer a death trap!
@An4rkistic5 жыл бұрын
Surely the rollbar will prevent any impact between floor and headrests?? I don’t see how the headrests can bend or break with a roll bar in place.

dragkid185 Sure, but just looking at them fitted on the car, it looks like they're adjusted to the highest point in the thread. I could be completely wrong but surely screwing the adjustment washers and compressing the spring would lower the car no? I'd actually like to know, since I don't!
@dragkid1859 жыл бұрын
Ray Syed No adjusting them higher increases the spring rate making the car sit higher. He's pretty much bottomed the adjusters as low as they go. If he wanted to go low he would have bought some ultimos.

Have you considered forced induction either super charging or turbo charging? A nicely worn in engine is perfect for forced induction so long as you do not get crazy with the boost. In the USA taking junkyard V8's with 50,000-100,000 miles and adding Chinese made turbo kits is pretty popular. No reason that the same idea can not be applied to smaller stock engines in Europe an engine is an engine!
