Electric seats

by Colin G, 16-11-2021, 01:35 PM

Ok guys, Ive had a nose about but not come up with the answers I was looking for.

I've just got hold of another half leather interior which has had screens professionally installed into the headrests with wiring running through the seats.

My question come due to the fact that the new seats has an electric passenger seat whereas my car has a manual passenger seat. Is it a simple plug and play with the connectors already part of the cars loom or is there more involved????

My v5 impreza

by Matt85, 15-11-2021, 08:44 AM

after two v4's and a v2 i wanted a facelift in mica blue, i looked at 3 lemon saloons that were all ragged to death and poor things were dying

then one night i stumbled across a advert pretty basic but covered all the main points but it was in kent and wanted shot by 20th july.
my best mate took me to the station for the half 7 train to kings cross then hopped over to maidstone in kent where the seller picked me up from the station. Fantastic guy chatted for ages was a fellow petrol nut and this had been his girlfriends run about for the last 3 years. expanding family and finances ment it had to go for something cheaper to keep so advertised it with no offers but after a few emails i agreed the sale price if everything was as described.

Panic set in about half way thinking if its **** getting home and i was going to give up.... But nope was as described and had a few supermarket car park knocks and marks and not been serviced properly in years but overall im happy

car was filthy tho . hate it when sellers dont bother washing it or a quick hoover. So a sunday with my mate who took me to the station spent a couple hours washing and polishing, treating scratches and adding bits i managed to find from previous cars .

The car has some of the prodrive performance pack included which the seller didnt even notice!

first up is some servicing and bits and bobs then few subtle changes to the outside before hitting the power / handling

making a start


dash pod


minging boot


then some trusty autoglym dye


added buddy club caps


speedline prodrive alloys


and washed




next up she was serviced up by my local scoob expert and given it a once over and all good , diff still a bit Whiney but not as bad as before so hopefully the new oil will work it's way in next few miles



Had some bad lacquer peel on bonnet vents , after top gear decided to cover them up



Kitchen work top ruined lol



Then got this , all in jibber ish


Get them back on the car tomorrow after work

by speedfreek, 14-11-2021, 02:00 PM

So what have I missed then, anything good? Any new cars on the block?

Christmas car gifts?

by Sparkystav, 14-11-2021, 09:15 AM

So come on then outlaws, what gifts did we all get for our cars?

For me, as usual my wife avoided buying me anything for the actual car as unless I specific picked it it would be right lol

However I got some good bits for the garage

240v impact gun - big robust thing that knocks out some high torque!
Palm da sander to make my bodywork easier
Head stands so I can stop using pieces of wood
A brake pipe flaring kit
And an oil drain pan!


What's everyone else got?

1991 Mazda 323f BG GT

by Mazz, 11-11-2021, 07:29 AM

After 6 years since I last owned one of these and saying I wont ever own another, I find myself the proud owner of another BG GT!!

Its been a long time coming and i was never really over the loss of my baby, and since then, I have been trying to fill the void with a manor of all sorts of cars. from the super vr4 to a vw golf and a few others in between, including a few BAs and a Lantis type R.
But non of these ever came close to the love that I hold for the BG GT
For the people that knew me back then when i had an army of BGs will know that the road wasnt always smooth and at times was a love hate relationship, but through all that, I ploughed on, digging my heels in all the way.

This one has a bit of a twisted tail so far, with ups and downs and fallings out.
im not going into all details but things that was agreed on the sale didnt go to plan and the biggest insult was that i was never told about the accident damage on the car.
this has boiled my blood a lot, but nothing a body shop cant solve.



To top all of this, getting it home was a 48 hour adventure too!
Thanks to Rob for going up in the knackered rental truck to collect it, he had his "fun" (if you wanna call it that) which resulted in the brake down truck with bug on the back, going on to a brake down tuck,

but it wasnt, (again this is details that wont be aired) due to the truck he was in decided that the duel mass fly wheel wanted to become a multi mass fly wheel and take out the slave cylinder and bell housing. :oops:

but at last all was sorted and trade plates given to get bug home to me
(I forgot just how nice it was to drive one of these beasts!)
but before I drove the car i checked the oil.....

hummmm, what oil!!


not happy, but oil was chucked in, once the rain has buggered off, I will do a good inspection of the engine and give it a good service.


on the drive home from stonehouse, i needed to stop for fuel, but no less then a mile away from the petrol station, Bug konked out thus bringing back memories of when i first drove KITT, she too konked out a mile away from the petrol station.
i see this as a good sign and just laugh
once at the pumps the kiddy serving asked what car it was thinking it was a Lancia. i just laughed and corrected him.

once some petrol was in and paid for, i set of on the drive back home.

and iv not stopped smiling since






A sight I have missed so much!


And the "key" to happiness



There are a few things i need to do to the car first, but this list at the mo, isnt too bad or big.
then all i plan to do is lower her, new exhaust, for a quiet one. tint windows and lights and have my TSW venoms re furbed and fitted.
shes an old lady now and done are the days of the big flash body kits.... i might be tempted, but we will see.

happy days
