Loose the centre console, frees up loads of legroom. |

I need a new drivers seat for my race car as I'm tall and ''generously proportioned'' myself!  Are you tempted to put a rear cage in? |

I need a new drivers seat for my race car as I'm tall and ''generously proportioned'' myself! Are you tempted to put a rear cage in? ;D toyed with the idea but so far its a no ,also still using standard seatbelts , am tempted though , does fitting a cage not balls up the insurance ? What's it like to live with? Had it 3 yrs now and hadnt really spent much on it other than oil/tyres /brakes etc , as it had lived ungaraged for those 3 yrs it had started to look a bit tatty so went in for some bodywork , turned into a bit of a moneypit then , will post some pics.. Now its fitted with Bilstein clubsport dampers its pretty firm when pootling about , but then thats not what its for [quote author=teaboy board=readersrides thread=98382 [/quote] Loose the centre console, frees up loads of legroom. [/quote] I use it too much mate , carry so much curse word about , no door pockets and the glove box full of rubbish...  |

I need a new drivers seat for my race car as I'm tall and ''generously proportioned'' myself! Are you tempted to put a rear cage in? does fitting a cage not balls up the insurance ? I'm not sure? I guess it depends on your policy and/or insurance company? I know with my orange e21 I had to notify my insurance company of all the mods after the car had been in a few magazines. I didn't want to find myself as 'uninsured' for not mentioning something. Anyway, even with everything I've changed the premium only rose my £30 or so. Obviously, I'll get paid if the unthinkable happens too! I've been thinking of what I would get if I sold my orange BMW? I have always wanted an 80's 911 in either black or Grand Prix white. I would want it modified like yours and Teaboys. I'd have a white rear cage and blue harnesses too tho and BBS split-rims. A sort of variation on 1973 RS type of thing. More ducktail than whaletail.  I spy a nice exhaust tailpipe on your car. Does it sound as good as it looks? If ever you fancy a swap? ;D |

This is what it looked like when I first had it  resplendent in its white socks , changed the white 6" and 7" wheels for some turbo 7"s and 8"s , filled the arches much nicer.  Deffo preferring the cleaner look after removing the front fogs/side repeaters/flag mirrors/headlamp washers etc. Offered up one of the Ruf mirrors today , what do you reckon?  and coz I love it a gratuitous Vid of me on an empty Spa .. |

Fantastic looking car!
I think the RUF mirrors will really suit it.

Liking the mirrors. Just bought Engellmans for my BM. Had Spa to myself too, last time I was there. I was in a diesel Austin Montego though!  Funnily enough, I was there as a team member running Richard Westbrook ( Porsche Supercup champ ) in the Opel Euroseries. |
