Daze's Ph1.5 (Ph2 converted) DTurbo

[Dazecoop]

No updates in a while because I've been pretty busy (going to Japan & other things!)

Anyway, got the passenger Recaro seat in & rail fabricated. I opted to go for a non-sliding rail on the passenger side, simply because of ease & time. There's no real reason to have a sliding passenger rail for me, I very rarely take more than 1 passenger out, and as long as the passenger seat is slightly further back than where I have mine, then that's all good. So..

Factory rail slider mech cut off, box section laid on top to get an idea


Cutting


Making sure box section is level across left & right


The new seat waiting to go in


Tac-welding in-situ


Then onto the bench for proper welding


Seat belt mount & captive nut in place ready for welding


Doing a weld


Done


Fitting rail onto seat




And that's it so far! I've STILL yet to take photos of the seats actually in the car, but they do look amazing. And sooooo much better than factory seats in terms of position, comfort & supportiveness. I sit maybe 4-5 inches lower in these seats, and it feels much more like a sports car than it did before, I much prefer it!

Anyway, I'll get pics soon of entire interior

In other news, I'm looking forward to Saturday - HDI gearbox & new clutch time. I'll take plenty of photos as always
