The exterior looks are fine, besides the black hood (agree with Yiannis197 on that). Question.. How much power battery did you install?

what a night in Milan yesterday in a mall's car park, absolutely stunned about the number of cars and people there!
there were like 100 cars, Subi STi, GT86, 500 and Punto Abarths, Fiat coupe, Polo R, Bimmer 1 & 3 series, Merc, GTR, etc....

and finally meet in person with @simo

Guys, yesterday we made a huge progress on the seat frame!

Was not a straight forward, plug&play exercise, but we managed the issues and its in the car!
The seating position is fabulous, now I feel in the car not on the car, if you know what I mean! Still not a BMWish seating position, but...

It works and looks completely OEM, slide, tilt etc...so here are the pics:

Currently the left hand drive version is available for sale if there is any interest!

Currently working on the RHD version, if anyone can help, how it differs from LHD, we can produce this as well, having lower labour cost here in Hungary.

when I look at the 4 fixing points.. floor is flat?

reason I am asking is because I need to make brackets for my pole positions..

Thanks!

 

[Flacsi]

Yes mate, the floor is flat, as seen on the 2nd picture.

Great work mate well done!

 

[Flacsi]

Great work mate well done!

thanks mate!

Changed the top engine mount as well, and I was surprised again, what renaultsport used as OEM, absolutely insane compared to the new one. So guys pls change it if you have not done it so far!

couldnt agree more about the powerflex insert..done mine this week and cant praise it enough..good job

 

[Yiannis197]

Apparently the top engine mount causes all the vibrations though?

Definately. Think of taking mine off tbh. Not convinced there's that much difference. I think it's more the standard rubber going and if you replace with standard, would have a better outcome.
