Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
Tfsi_Mike:
Very entertaining as usual & congrats on the quicker time!
How are you finding the seats, I would love to try them in mine at some point. More practical for me to try now its not our everyday car
rex:
Thanks :happy2:!
The seats are awesome even for everyday use. The only issue is getting in and out for the car. But apart form that they are better when OEM.
And the OEM seatbelts don't quite go well with these seats so a 4+ point harness is needed to keep you firmly in the seat.

Great stuff as usual and I am sold on the 8x17 TDs, they sit perfectly - I will definintely be getting some at some time!
I think if the Mini wasnt there you would have wound some steering lock off and not had the oversteer moment...looked cool anyhow! :driver:
Keep up the good work! :congrats:

Thanks!
I am not so happy about the video so I have to post a better copy (without the sync problem).

Thanks! :drinking:
You are right about the oversteer :notworthy:. One correction though... it was a Renault Clio Sport (I know that the video quality is crap).
And another issue.... After the debate a few post above I got to weigh the OEM seats. Each one weighs 20.9 kg.
Based on Fuscobal's weighing the Recaro's weigh 17kg each (seats, rails, mounts, etc). So I managed to reduce the overall weight of the car by 7.8 kg.
So buying the Recaro seats just to lose some weight is not the most cost effective way. I bought the Recaro's to install the 4 point harness and roll cage so the weight issue was not a concern.
