Oh, damn that sucks. What if you drop a 2.0l from a laganza or nubira... should work
but that all depends on you... if u got the time + money (+ willing to work)

[Rodd1s]

with the petrol prices we have to pay it's better to have a high performance small capacity engine than a larger engine.

I wouldn't agree with you... 2.0 is a small engine..

I think that you had a bad engine management system... I have 2litre, mid-big turbo engine and with VEMS on LPG (witch has less miles per gallon that gasoline) with 40litre tank I have passed 420kms, and still running... It was used 100km on fast road, 200km on outside city road, and the rest in the city on local roads... I the city, with a lot of rush ours and waiting, it spends around 13L/100km LPG with some boosting... On the roads outside the city, it spends as low as 7-8L/100km... My brother has small engine 1.6 with 100HP in nissan quashqai and it spend more LPG than mine 240HP-LPG lanos...

It's all in the EMS-EFI...

road tax-wise in the uk anything over 1.5 is a big engine lol

even though my lanos also falls in the big engine category...

silly fucking uk road tax laws suck balls. big sweaty hairy balls.

Discovered a brilliant find on ebay last night...

1996 Subaru Impreza WRX front bucket seats (yes, both) for only £47 posted

pictures coming soon

[benzino]

let us know how hard they are to fit

[Rodd1s]

let us know how hard they are to fit

shouldnt be too bad seeing as the runners are the same width.

[benzino]

so did you buy them?

[Rodd1s]

so did you buy them?

of course. should hav them by tuesday.

[benzino]

yay! hahaha

[Rodd1s]

half limousine lanos... lol (notice passenger seat missing - had to take it out to compare the runners on the two seats properly)


scooby seats... almost ready to go in.


tomorow i'll get pictures of what needs doing to make them fit.

[Rodd1s]

since pictures speak a thousand words...





these kinda show how close a relation/far off the impreza wrx runners are to the lanos seat mounting points.
very little modification required (which i still need to do) and they are a very snug fit.

[gse_turbo]

AWESOME!

[Rodd1s]

and here they are, in place:

[benzino]

sick!!!

so what mods did you need to do?

I'm very interested in this hahaha
