GazB Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well after much nagging from the Mrs i have given in and decided to stop running 1/4miles in the car. All the expensive of replacing the clutch (more than once) and the gearbox having to be refurbished she as comvinced me to stop hammering it up the track. So the car is going back to road look and road use, i've been out in it the the few days and yes i do understand its noisey and uncomfy. Roll bar (Bolt in with door bars) is coming out, buckets seats and harnesses (SFI) also. Carpets, seats etc going back in along with the sound system. When this is all done i'll have some bits up for sales along with stuff in the shed that ive collected. 2x17" rear wheels and MT new tyres going as well, also 2x17" with R888 will be sold and then i may treat my self to a new set of wheels. So the process started today with all decals being removed (3 managed to damage the paint so my body work man will be looking at it) It does look different bare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Good to hear your not selling up and changing the car to make it more usable, what seats have you fitted? Are they supra specific frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Cobra Monaco i got from Ryan G Then are the wide type which have the base slot for the 5 point harnesses that are fitted, bad point is they need recovering. Low frames with adjusting slide rail, can't remember much more, i'll look for the paperwork for them when removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 +1 I have thought about it but the buzz i get from driving it is hard to replace, that said i've got a mates AC Cobra to play with soon (when i can clear some garage space) which may test me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the frames will fit oem recaros keep me in mind when you come to sell them Is the cobra a big naughty v8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'll let you know with the frames Yep a nice big v8 Loads of torque, rear wheel drive and no roof It's been sat in my mates garage for 2 years and needs some tlc he lives in Australia for most of the time and only returns for business so doesn't use it. He wants me to use it so it runs regular, just NOT got to bend it (his words) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'd have use for the wheels & tyres when it comes to selling Gaz. If you have a figure in mind I'd be glad to hear it along with a bit of info on the rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
