Re: LED lighting "upgrade"

Update, this has basically been a total bust ](*,) Once installed (I did get the dash indicator to work with the rectifier/diode bridge, BTW :-" ) I was experiencing very odd behavior, what I would describe as "current bleed" to lights that shouldn't be receiving any power :-? For ins...

Re: Sport Seat Rails / Tracks - $150

OK, let's review :wink: Ralph, if I read your response correctly, I can use these, and they will also lower my seat height, which is something that I wanted to do for quite a while :-" In fact, I was considering custom made flat rails, as I would also like to see if it's possible to make it so ...

Re: Sport Seat Rails / Tracks - $150

With photo this time, and you can see that I do indeed have the raised floor, along with the E21 320 iS Recaro factory mounting brackets :-" If I didn't have so much going on right now, like PSF in a couple of weeks, I would pull the seat again (both probably :-? ) so that I can figure out why ...

Re: Sport Seat Rails / Tracks - $150

Well, I have a series 1, MY80, so I don't think it's like E28 :-k I used the mounting brackets that came with the seats and just had to slot the mounting holes 1/4" for everything to line up :wink: The mounting brackets have sort of a "U" shaped cross section, if that helps :-" I...

Re: Sport Seat Rails / Tracks - $150

Ralph, would my E21 Recaros fit on these rails :-k

My drivers side won't tilt forward, had the seat out once but wasn't able to figure out why :-({|=

Dale, I wouldn't need both, but if I can't figure mine out, I may be in touch :-"

Interesting that it has "55" at 90 KPH :P

Euro models work with the driver's door open without the key in the ignition, but I'm not sure about UK versions :-k

Re: Another wheel size question

Dennis, I presume that these wheels are staggered widths :-k

265/40 series would be a bit on the tall side. Depending on the width of the rear wheels (9"?) 255/40 would be more correct as far as outside tire diameter is concerned :wink:

BTW, I've been to Genoa, cool little town \:D/
