These are the same seats that were used for the E30 M3 Evo III.

This will replace it. Luckily, the alu seat brackets I had for years, also fit the Sparco's :D:

The Evo2 Plus was the only Sparco that I could get my bum in also! ;) The English (Corbeau) and German (Recaro) seats also cater for the broader beam as I can testify.:D

I hear you bro :D I just couldn't afford the Recaro...

Corbeau club sports, I have used with success on the track, with a 6pt..

Also like them since I am a "large" figure type of guy..

Not fancy but fit the bill and were effective for some club/track event type events.

I really want to save up for the FX or FX Pro, which is a fiberglass shell, and come in wide. They are nice but not sure if FIA cert if that is an issue.

Incidently, I was reading that shortly they were changing the FIA specs for seats.. just something to consider if your doing club racing or similiar where it may be imporant.

Testdrive today with self-made camera mount and the new seat: Wheelspin in 2nd and because of that I shifted in 5th...:o
Car is very itchy without an alignment and without Lee's new struts ;)

I also need to zoom-in next time, so the lighting will be adjusted better and you see the road better (I hope). Still, it worked better than I thought :)

That video makes me want a more powerful engine ;)

Thanks! I hope to be able to shoot some more now this works so well during the upcoming events (track-day 5th march and drag race 14th march)

Forgot to explain: gauge low row, utmost left is boost, the blue light coming on during boost is the activation of the water/meth injection and the flashing orange light means my waterinjection mixture is low. The warning signal is however way above sucktion level, so not too much worries there ;-)
Center top is oil temp and that was very low (60 Celcius) and didn't come higher during longer driving. Outside temp was around freezing point (0 Celcius).
Its probably wise to get the oil thermostat back in line one of these days...

can you show me pics of how you are mounthing the seats in the car. like pics with the seats all bolted up and what not

petevw February 24th 2010 00:13

Nice upgrades Wally!

70Turbobug February 28th 2010 12:31

I just canīt say it enough...I love that car!! For me at this point the absolut bench mark in the vw scene.A powerful,driveable and reliable car and looks great,too. One could think,350HP made easy.. well done Wally ;)

Sandeep March 4th 2010 10:22

Looking fine Wally !

Question for you ... can you switch between boost setting maps with the DTA, while you are driving ? Perhaps by a switch or button ? One setting for , say 10 psi (stun) and one setting for 20 psi (kill) ?

Thanks

Sandeep
