Laser Blue GTI, now caged ready for some track action

[Top Cat]

Just a hunch, is it something to do with powerflex bushes and Porker seats.

I'm no expert in porker seats but looks more like a porker steering wheel to me TC

i should have another heavy package containing some audi parts by the end of the week!

[Obese]

sod it, i wasnt going to put pics up but im weak   







and a little prototype for the seat subframe

im going to have it cut out of 10mm aly



just need to decide what parts ti trim in savannah beige to tie the seats into the car

[Top Cat]

It looks like two aliens sat there.  

[Obese]

Yeah they do look a bit like ET!

some of my favourite seats of all time, i have had a pair before in black from a gt3 rs but couldnt find any for love nor money. I initially intended to retrim these but when i got my hands on them the oem goodness is just too good to get rid of.

will make alot more sense once i have built my half cage and the interior is finished

[Top Cat]

I think you could get away with the colour if you did the entire interior in complementary colours but it would take some pulling off.  Or cover the whole dash in cardboard.  

I personally would be changing the colour.  

[Obese]

I know exactly what you mean!, im not a massive fan of mega trimmed interiors either so thats not an option!

My mind changes every day with how and what im going to do with the interior.

Just struggling to come to terms with getting rid of all the original markings on the seats

[Top Cat]

 Porker seats with Interlagos  centres.  you would certainly be the first. 

[Obese]

Nope i have seen a pic with it being done allready!!! 

[Obese]

quick look on google images led me to these



not a massive fan

[Top Cat]

They look like a couple of Scottish aliens now.

Can't wait for the next update 

Did the plastic part  where the 2 back benches meet just prize off ?  Was it a quick job to remove the seat backs?

You could try and find the interior bits and pieces from the GTI with the biscuit coloured trim??

Car is looking gorgeous mate, always liked this one and was looking over it when you was at GTI Inters last year

As rear seats go they were a bit of a pain in the arse to get out but not too bad really. a few bolts and belt to get out the way and dont be too scared with them!
