Coolest pair of sock ...ever

even full of show your car looks B. e. a. utiful!

great work guys... very very ncie transformation... gotta say when yu put in time and dedication it really pays off and im sure everyone will agree...

What new warning lights are you referring to there chap? - I can see on Meanie's dashboard, there's a couple I've not seen before but can't quite make out what they are...

never seen that heat one before

or is it because my engine ain't overheated

or is it for heated mirrors or something?

I thought that was the "check engine" light.

Looking damn good there Andy, we like.

We do like indeed.....looks as good as ever

Mark

I want to now what the heat one is too

possible engine management? jst a guess?

the direction signs
<- ->
are on and when that happens a triangle lights on in that left side
maybe had been a change

exhaust heat, engine overheat, high oil temp???

looks so dam good andy nice one fella!!!

Yep, top work there fella, must admit though, I was amazed how fast you fitted them, from them arriving to being fitted must of broke your current record of 1 year 3 months and 15 days.........

Cant help thinking though that both your fog light switches are upside down

didn't notice that

well checked

He needs to fill up the tank aswell.

He's trying to beat my record but has a long way to go stil

loving the dash andy!! very nice

Thanks gents :D:D most appreciated :D:D

Stu, you know, thats been staring me in the face for days, and I've not realised, thanks mate, thought I was goin nuts :P

Parvez. dude, if I'd been counting that one, I'd have smashed your record chap thats only £40 quids worth, and I finally refilled at 390 odd, with at least 20 to go :D:D Had to go to a birthday party :P

The 'HEAT' symbol, is, I think for a catalytic convertor warning, only the Type R's have it, on UK models, the HAZARD flasher is there :D

like the purple dash lights andy

i see... lol i guess most of us were close-ish lol ha hah a well we all knew it had something to do with heat lol doohhh!!

Ok, so, its time for a wee update i guess

I've noticed a fair bit of seat modding going on recently, put me in mind of something I've been after ever since I got back from my tour round Europe in 2003

So I was having a wee search on good old ebay, and low and behold, what should be up on there???? Only the seat I've been after for 4 years :P

Now, these things are SERIOUSLY expensive, and I've only ever seen a couple on ebay over the years, usually very highly priced even second hand

But, in true Meanie tradition, I managed to land me a TOTAL bargain

I was gonna unveil this at Trax, but, as I was unable to make it, I've decided to stick it on here instead

Say hello to my Recaro Ergomed DS



As you can see, its not a match for the OE seats, but it does tie in with the black around the cockpit area, but by GOD is it comfortable :D

That little switch panel you can see, does several things

It adjusts the Airmatic twin lumbar support, it adjusts the height, tilt and backrest and activates the cooling fans in the seat pad and the backrest

Its supposed to be heated too, that doesn't work, but like who cares with a cloth seat anyway, plus they always make me feel like I've wet meself :P

Its not all electric though, it has manually adjustable side bolsters and thigh support, at least I'll get SOME exersice :P

Fitting it was fairly easy, and at this point, I have to say a BIG BIG thank you to Stu for all his help and putting up with me pestering him for info and how he'd mounted his, Matts and Stevo's seats, thank you sir, you are a gent

I've got it mounted pretty close to as low as a standard F seat, with a bit of 2mm steel plate for strength on the inboard runner, and some 25mm box steel with two sets of 2mm alloy risers front and rear on the outboard side. I also used OE F runners, but from a post ford, as they are 15mm longer, have less bracketry and have a simpler adjuster mechanism.

All in all, I'm bloody chuffed, and I can categorically say, all good things come to those who wait :D

nice seats
they even got switches
just the head holders seem a bit bigger than usuall

they look sweet! like seats of the future!

nice one mate
looks well nice just mind u dont fall asleep while driving!

Very very nice Andy

awesome andy, reminds me of the gto seats with the lecctricity adjustment very trick!!!!!! i love how it lights up aswell!

and there was you telling us the pre ford bracketry and adjustment was better aswell

Nice one That looks super comfy I'd be sat in it for hours playing with the buttons

Another job well done fella. Nice modding

nice touches u have there and very well done on getting that chair

Snow!!! I never seen snow in real life before

Car is looking sweet as andy... "Thumbs up"
