Wow looks very nice. Did you actually have to pull anything out apart from the shift handle? (i.e. are you just putting the sock on top or did you remove the whole thing?). I actually am considering this lol... price?

I'm all up for a meetup (once uni finals are over yo!).

As for parts, sigh, I've seen quite a few FD2 sites pop up around the net. From what I can tell frm my cousins in M'sia, the people who typically modify FDs, have the FD2 (since it was the "sports" model) and not many FD1. Hence why there are very few FD1 parts.

anyone put recaros or brides in their cars yet?

I haven't. Wouldn't mind but I think i'ts illegal to modify if your car has side airbags in the seat (e.g. VTi-L and Sport models). Can anyone confirm?

Oh noes, if u put bucket seats in ur car then i wont be able to have sex in it nemore. =P hahahaha
I dont think its illegal but i think u need it checked by an authority to make sure its road worthy and safe.
Something about ADR?...not too clear about the details.

Maybe for the meet us sydney people and melb people could meet halfway or sumthing? Is it far?...Im realli directionally challenged...Would the middle be canberra?
Coz the more the merrier and a cruise down to canberra could be fun i guess. hahaha

na... its because the K-series engine has been around for so many years whereas the R series just came out last year. Just have to give it some time, but alot of Taiwanese tuners have been saying that the R series engine does have alot of potential, I remember this guy got over 200whp by Turbocharging the R18

and Jo_e... I think middle would be like Albury, which is still quite long and boring drive for both states.

[cracker]

yes i agree.......secondly TKbuild that is so cool please elaborate how u did that sik mod?

[applio]

[tkbuild]

hi Jace & cracker,
thx very much for your comments.
for anyone interest with this mod, later tonight or tomorrow i'll put up a new thread on detailed DIY

To Jace : just remove the original shift knob and the silver square cover.
cost: boot $25, knob $20
