Jed's MKIV .:R32

How did that happen Jed? I'm guessing wear and tear with age.

Yeh, it wasn't in the best shape when I bought it. Which isn't unusual unfortunately and the wear got worse and worse no matter how well I took care of it. Although putting leather protector on it may not have done it any good considering it's apparently only vinyl :S

I got my cloth Recaro done for $350. Took out the whole bolster section, new foam and material. Looks good.

I actually went to Lee Brother this morning for a quote. Haha! They seemed professional and the owner (I think) was very knowledgable and very friendly. So once I work out when I'm available to get it done I'll call him and confirm the booking.

It's looking like a replacement of leather panel (it apparently is actually leather), and then colour dye the whole seat in the factory colour to match, so that the seat doesn't have a weird looking bit. I think I might get the same done to the passenger seat as well, so will have to ask for a quote on that too.

Thanks for the tip though mate! It's reassuring having someone recommend them to me

So based on today's happy laps outing at Lakeside Park Raceway... buy Ground Control Camber Plates! They have an amazingly massive amount of adjustment, and they literally make the car turn in like a go kart. You actually have to turn in consciously slower and less to get the same results as rubber non-adjustable mounts. They made more than a big difference with front end grip, dive under braking, turn in (most notable) and overall feedback of what the front end was doing. Unfortunately the trade-off is plenty of clicking, clunking, and creaking from the front end when parking etc. But if you track your car it is well worth it!

Getting the Fluidampr fitted up tomorrow Finally haha

Good to hear Jed.
I'm sure you'll put up with the extra creaking for the gains.
Bit of a bumma about the seat mate.

Yeah exactly! So worth it
And yeah, but these thing happen with a car of this age. I've got a quote and trimmer that I'm happy with so I just need to work out when I'll have the time to take it in and get the work done. Hopefully before the end of the year.

For sale at $16,000 or next offer! I need it gone before I pick up my new car on Saturday.
The car is a bargain at this price guys. It has registration until March 2016, just had its major service 1 month ago, and has a valid roadworthy!
