Ah Recaros are still very pricey. You'd be looking at a good 500 quid for a clean second had pair

You can pick up clean pairs for 400 euro these days, or even 350 if you look hard enough

even lower if you stay away from OEM "R" seats like the EVOs seen mint ones go for 250 for full interior

I found two Recaros from a Supra...completely mint condition in a crashed Supra in Cork...unfortunately I didn't have the cash on me but...€200 for them!

Also...€300

I bought my car off him...and proceeded to rip out everything he put in it except the carbon fiber bits!

The only stuff I'd buy off him are his carbon fiber pieces and exhaust parts too...the Recaro's are also fake...very fake

Grand price for fogs in all fairness...and the springs are grand too...you'll get a better brand than Icetronix give (Tenzo R), that's for sure!

Did he say anything to you about fitting or...?

Got them as a present , but they are DEPO the exact ones Kev in 32tuning sells, it think they are around the 140 mark, so you could get the fogs and re-spray your headlights this would totally change your front end, then you still have a few quid to get a decent axle back

Midnight_EG · 22-02-2011 11:48pm

Only showing the price man ^ :pac:

That whole system is perfect actually...but it's a 2.5 inch diameter, which will do you no favours at all

I have that exact exhaust system...well...two of them, sitting in my shed :P

By OEM he means Stanley...don't go asking Honda though, their prices are extortion!

Trust me when I say the exhaust system Red Power sells is too loud...here it is on my EG Civic...sounded the exact same when I had it on my EK, which I swapped out for a Spoon backbox with a stainless steel straight-through system to the manifold behind it

I enjoyed the noise on both my cars...but got too loud and pissed me off way too much!

Get rid of your sunstrip too!

Sunstrips are never a good idea to be honest!

There's holes in the firewall...the part under the windscreen at the top of the engine where cables run through, just lash it into one of them and be prepared to go looking for the wire in the cabin :P

projectgtr · 23-02-2011 12:13am

Fogs are easy enough plenty of walkthroughs online just take it handy and dont rush

As for the lights, same deal take your time heres a walkthrough to spray them, you can go darker with the spray but i prefer closer to OEM as possible.

fogs or headlights??

Ive fit the fogs no bother but mine was allready wired so i used the old harness.

As for the Headlights, nope ive EK9 headlights, but ive another a set to do but i want to compound the lenses first before i take them apart, it looks really simple cant see where it could go wrong other than been given out to for putting car parts in the oven

will1569reptile · 23-02-2011 12:36am

Cool well im off for the night

Going to try darken them this weekend if it doesnt go well i can just buy them off mcg.

Kev is going to email me back tomaro to tell me what his got.exp fogs and lowering springs. so that should prob come to €300

then hopefully from there i can get tints,buckets,
If any one knows were i can get good prices on anyting let me know would be very helpfull.

Signing out/:pac:

will1569reptile · 24-02-2011 4:48pm

projectgtr · 24-02-2011 9:51pm
