Used to run Redex in my old GTI and VR6 but not sure if it was any good for our engines?!

Mostly run mine on V power and occasionallyTesco momentum 99 so I don't think Redex would be much good.

Do you ever run super unleaded with yours?

My impreza was mapped with Tesco momentum 99 so that's all I used in that. In this I normally use any 95 petrol. My dad had her for 7 years and said it ran the best with Shell V Power. He's been putting redex in her since day 1 every 4 fill ups. They did a test on 5th gear with the redex and it shown it really did work. On YouTube somewhere! 

I havent put super unleaded in yet. I will at some point, I keep saying (as a treat) ha ha.

I saw that vid, was a Corrado VR6.

I watched a few of your Scobby vids (the tunnel ones) it sounded awesome man by the way😎

Was gonna ask regarding the secondary air pump if you could get a few pics of you fitting it, let us know how easy/hard it is etc?

Keep up with all the mods and updates your car is coming along really well and gives me ideas for mine.👍

Yeah that's the one. The results was good for that vr6. She's running good for me so I'll keep using it👍 ha ha.  

Thanks over for the impreza mate. That was hard work modding wise. Worth it though. 

I'm not fitting this air pump. I'm gonna leave it to my mechanic mate Edd China! Prob take me a good few hours where it is, and the pipe goes all the way round too. Bet it takes him an hour tops (mates rates to). He is amazing to be fair at what he does👍

Was gonna say the same about your car too.

Been a little busy today. After the Scotland trip weekend I booked a days holiday today, supposed to be a lazy day after all driving etc. Instead I popped down to a scrappy I heard got a T sport in. Anyway came home with this lot.....

Now me being me. Can't wait n all! Got down to it. Now I've never transferred old seats for updated ones before. Hence the pictures coming up! 

The were covered in glass and abit moldy to be honest (I won't lie). 

So I got the hoover out just to get as much crap off as I could. Just tiny tiny small bits of shattered glass.

First thing 1st was disconnect the Battery. Packed it tight and separated the cable with wood. Just to be double safe.  Not messing with airbags, they would Win every time 

Only tools I needed was a 14mm socket and a 12mm. Oh long extension bar too. 

Loosened the 4 x14mm bolts under the seats but left the back 2 in. Then tilted the wires to get to the air bag wire! 

On my pre face lift you only have one yellow wire. On the face lift seats you have 2. One white. 99% sure it's the seat belt wires on both seats! 

Anyhow unclipped the yellow wire then front seats out. 

Hovered and cleaned the carpet while I was there. (I know, could of tidied up the sub wires. Didn't plan on doing this though) ha ha. 

Then the back seats were out. 1 14mm bolt holding the seatbelt down that's attached to the seat. Then 4 12mm bolts holding the seats in. And the bottom of the seats you just push the hooks outwards and they're out. 10 secounds those.

Then with all of them out and cleaned it looks like this. 😲😲😲😲 ignore the boot, still Scotland crap in it. 

As always it's the reverse to install. 

Noticed that one front seat was abit rusty so I cleaned it quick then sprayed it black👍

All seats in. Well chuffed😊 

Then the front seats belts didn't work, wouldn't click in. NOOOOOO. 

Had to take out seats and swap the holders over. Must be different in the face lift ones. Just cut the wires off (I don't need them in mine).

Finally now all in and all done👍

Crapped it a little when I did the Battery back up and started the car. Arms length like you do. 😂😂😂😂 

But know, really pleased with it now. I know you lot that have these seats already are thinking they're not that special. And I agree. Been holding out for the suede ones trimmed with leather. Rare as, and prices have been £400 +. I won't pay that! 

So from this.....to this.......

So next on list is....

1. Secondary Air Pump cleaned up and fitted. 

2. Strut brace cleaned up and fitted.

3. K&N Typhoon fitted. 

4. Mishimoto Radiator bought with a water pump too and fit the JS motorsport hoses. 

5. Defo a short shifter.

6. And finally fit this compressor bumper, side skirts, corner spats, and headlights I have in the shed. Driving me crazy in there, can't move. 

But in any order. 

My list gets bigger every week. 

Arb's, Drl's, Drop links, window tints, new front splitter, new exhaust (not a 2nd hand one ha ha I have on), wind deflectors, stage 2 cams. You name it. 

This car has to last me a long time so I might as well enjoy it. 

I'd love to build a kit car from scratch one day.  🍻

😂😂 I know Steve. I always do mate. I should learn that you never get your money back but hey. Don't smoke, don't really go out that much anymore so it's a hobby for me. EXPENSIVE one I'll admit! Having my mates do the mechincs and other the bodywork help me out a lot. 

Defo will last......I hope 😉👌

Nice work there mate. The red would look really good, try that red paint you used on your calipers (might not work though being plastic). 

Your car should be ok with the lights. It's my car pre face lift that needs lights😓
