Shot down to Oamaru after work on Saturday night & finally collected the blue hatch.

Changed out all the fluids, charged up the battery, then took her for a hack around Ruapuna this afternoon.

Been working through a few issues with the Blue Levin, main problem I had was the seating position. Came fitted with a rather worn out Recaro SP-G Bucket seat

Sat way too high for my liking, and because the car is a sunroof model with a lower hoodlining, put my head hard up against the roof (i'm 6'6") even without a helmet on.

Had this Sparco Sprint already

So set about making some mounts to get it sitting nice & low.

First step was to take a standard drivers seat & raid the scrap bin so I could knock up a rough Jig to get the correct mounting positions

Then got busy with the bender & some flat bar

Galv spray/Fake chrome paintjob must be worth 5hp.

Mounted it up in the car

With the seat so far back found I needed to move the steering wheel closer. Was already using a extra long boss kit, so added another 25mm spacer to the end, then purchased a new Sparco R325 Steering wheel, it's the deepest one they offer at 90mm offset.

Next thing I need to sort is the slightly vague feeling in the brake pedal, hopefully can get that done in time for trackday next week.
