  1. I miss the power sometimes and the burble, comfort wise the Lotus is closer to a track car.

    But it gets 36mpg and corners like you cant believe

    I'll agree with that....couldn't believe how well it cornered when Mikey took me round knockhill.

  2. Me and debs were going to thrash it out... but doesnt look like ill have my diff fixed by then B)

  4. After much consideration i went for a set of prodrive springs rather than tein efforts as the ride quality for daily use was not as hard.........tell you better if i ever get round to fitting them!!!

    The TEINS are definately "bumpier" than the prodrive springs on normal roads. I noticed quite a difference going from Prodrive springs to the TEIN Superstreets....I do like them for cornering though!

  5. Would be interested to hear opinions on this one :thumbup:

    I am an electronic and electrical engineer and with the resistor in the circuit (replacing the airbag) there should be no reason for the airbag system to be disabled...............so I would be interested to hear of any horror stories.

  6. Yep.. it's 3ohm... Did the same thing myself, removed the standard sports easts and fitted the tightly fitting WRX Bucket seats with no airbag. Still got loads of resistors left over so if you need any send me a goat with your postal address and i'll send ya some :lol:

    Al - that's exactly what I'm doing. PM inbound :thumbup:

  7. Been looking at the same mod myself but they seem pricey for what they are (Roger Clark motorsport one is £45 before postage!!).

    I would be interested to see if anyone that has them fitted think they make any difference.......except for cosmetic of course.

  8. i have been told that if you remove any air bag

    all air bags will be disabled

    so unless you want to loss all your air bags think be for you change seats

    That's the reason for the resistor - the monitoring system sees it as the airbag (the resistance of the airbag being around 3 OHMS) and the rest of the airbags remain active.

  9. I have an 01 WRX which has airbags fitted to the front seats which I'm going to replace (with seats with no airbags).

    Does anyone know what value of resistor I have to fit to the plug to fool the moitoring system into thinking the airbags are still in place (and not make the "airbag" dash wanrning light come on)?

    I can't just measure them with a multimeter as they are a pain to get to with the seats in place, and I want to remove the old seats fit the resistor and fit the new seats in the shortest possible time.

    3 ohm resistors ring a bell........can anyone confirm this??

  10. I hope it's as simple as a remap for you Kenny - You know the snags I had with mine recently........knackered MAF,fuel pump, filter etc. Might be worth speaking to Dunc up at Hypertech.......

    You don't want to get all your goodies fitted, go for a mapping and not be able to get it done.

  11. Just back. Excellent (Dry) day.

    Cheers to Mikey for the pax laps.........love your wee exige. I will hopefully be able to return the favour soon (only I'll be like driving miss Daisy)

    Cheers to Neil for the loan of the helmet.
