they look great, how did you mount them if you don't mind me asking? Did you use the original fiat sliders, or have you managed to mount them lower.

I want to fit some similar in my cinq, but really want to keep the seat moveable and at the same time lower the driving position.
 
Very nice mate!

A bit off topic but whats castle coombe like? I'm planning to go there in the new year for my first track day, whats your opinion on it?

Thanks
 
Cheers guys . the plates i made at work are really simple the recaro mounts are 340 mm apart and the cinq runners are 440mm apart so drilled the holes in right place to space it apart . They sit alot lower its really good tho :slayer:


Castle combe is awesome good fun in my cinq i have a vid on youtube of one time i went round :D

Castle Combe- It's a great fast citcuit which can be good or bad... it can make smaller engined cars seem a tad slow on the quick stuff but then there are also some decent corners in there that means the braking and cornering speed comes into play a fair bit..

The track surface itself is nice and smooth even for silly low cars and is normally nice and grippy, even when slightly damp although can be a bit dicey through the fast stuff when properly wet..

Basically like all track days build yourself up to your or the cars limits don;t worry about the cars flying past you for the first few laps it takes a fair bit of time to learn any circuit and it's lines (y)

Oh and watch out for some of the other drivers during the early sessions there is normally a bit of overtaking in places not allowed but this tends to get sorted by the marshalls as the day goes on.. (y)

Just have fun.. ;)
