Hey how'd you get on with those front seats? I just put NA seats in my EA and for the back i had to change brackets. For the front I have the rear outside mounts spaced up on washers to make the seats level, but they appear to be somewhat toward the centre of the car...

its all part of the kit really, there is a fibreglass piece that you have to graft to the garnish on the boot lid and the number plate spot down in the bar. not many people actually put the number plate down where i have. some people use the rear bar but leave the number plate up on the boot

well its been up awhile since i updated this thread so i thought i better do so.
bits and peices have happened lately, got the AU diff under it now so i now have AU-BA all round.
got a few little bits like heat socks for my spark plugs, magnaflow turbo muffler from the states as it was cheaper, got new rear brakes to match the front ones and got the calipers powdercoated.
also got a stage 6 turbo manifold thanks to geoff at snort along with a 4" with the screamer plumbed back in and 50mm synapase wastegate

car looks mint, congrats

im wondering though, how getting a muffler from the states was cheaper than buying in oz?..... I priced up a Flowmaster muffler from a few different places and they all wanted nearly $100 to ship it here

Twins for the win :mrgreen:

I reckon the new setup looks better, single turbo's are too common lol. I like the look of the new plenum too and the 80mm T/B definitely looks the part.

You're doing an awesome with this car mate. Keep it up :wink:
