Defenetly nice seat! But what does the law in England say about changing seats? 

 

Here in Croatia if I get pulled over, and the Policeman sees I don't have an original seat of this type Sparco, OMP, Toora...i would lose my registration plates for a while, and would ahve to change back to factory seats and then I could get my plates back 

Nothing in the law to say you can't. It still has a seatbelt so all's good

Fitted the passenger seat today

Because Racecar!

Looking good Charlie, as is a certain upcoming update.

Ssshhhh

Did a further 12 miles today, didn't really get to test the seats to their full potential as I got stuck behind a convoy of 2 tractors and a combine harvester for over 4 of those miles, but they are really comfy.

I had those seats in an old car, they are amazing!

I am very jelly of those seats. Good work - has made the interior look much better and no doubt a better ride

Thanks, I still like the leathers so plan to swap them for shows. I've had a few people ask if I wanted to sell them though.

I finally get rid of one box that has been sat on my floor. The turbo is finally getting fitted

But in its place come a few more boxes.

A b&m shortshifter. Mainly an experiment to see if it fits, jabbasport say it does so we'll see

Secondly is this magic box of tricks

Great couple of updates there Charlie

Let me know how you get on with the B&M short shift kit if you didn't mind.

Cars coming along nicely, good work.

Thanks Lee, yes will do. Not seen a short shifter listed for a Fabia so will see how I get on

Very nice! Think I'd be more excited about the short shifter! Be definitely buying one if it fits

the b&m short shifter is amazing had one on nearly all my octys just makes it epic 

New turbo is on!

May be some oil that spilled from where it was primed as it's smoking like a steam train. Doing a few miles to hopefully burn it off. Boosts ok and no strange noises. Will check all the boost hoses too

Hmm still smoking heavily.. Thick white smoke, driving for an hour and no change :(

Back to the garage tomorrow then to get it checked out

Last box = win.

It'll certainly get you out of the corners faster.

Nice to see you are fitting yourself a diff, lets hope the issue with the turbo isn't something serious and can easily be sorted out.

Me too mate. Will be pretty peeved if the new turbo's a dud

Mapping issue?

No, shouldn't be. Literally only had the turbo swapped. We'll see tomorrow

Who fitted it mate?

Can't see it being to big an issue! We are fitting my turbo tomorrow!

My local garage. Hopefully won't be too much of an issue to sort out

Awesome, bet you're looking forward to that

I hope not, hope it all goes well for you

Sure am mate!

New turbo is kaput :( not a happy chappy.

A/ the seal on the outlet side has gone!

Damn, not good. :(

Where did you buy the turbo from??
