Thanks Guys :) I love my seats. Copped a bit of **** when I got them for the supra, cause I spent what other's spent on a turbo engine swap :P but honestly it's worth it. Kick butt over stock seats, and gives the car a very nice feel.. I would HIGHLY recommend it. I found some torn cloth SR3s, and dropped them at blackman and sons. 3 weeks later they came back in leather :) I still need to cover the sub box in carpet still - that's a job for this weekend. Last night I routed the The Enkeis for the front are on the truck down to melb now :) having enkeis on the back makes it feel a lot more stable (and smooth since I didn't have hub rings for the s15 rims). side note WTF is this? anyone know? My car has 4 point racing harness mounts put into it :P something to do with that? The passenger side has one too.

I'm pretty sure the side of the seat/seatbelt mechanism slides along it when you roll the seat forward and back, its just a rail.

After a few panicked PMs to chase_d, he made me realise that my understanding of offsets was wrong... so I rushed out and re- fitted the rims... and took more pictures..... Currently have 235/45r17s which are cactus.   The coilovers are just rubbing on the tyre, a 215 or 225 instead of the 235 I have fitted currently (the 235s are dead), a lower profile 40 instead of 45, and a 5mm spacer and we should be golden. (PHEW!!!)  speaking of rubber... we have right to left - current 16" s15 wheel, 17" enkei with 235, and 17" enkei with 275. the 275 is really phat! one issue. The bloody rim has a slow leak (still) in it :( it's a bit of a headache, but i'm fairly sure it's the rim. This is the 2nd tyre i've had this issue with, and at 275 wide they're hella expensive.

Check the valves - my enkeis had the original enkei metal valves and one was leaking (well I think they were enkei valves).
Replaced with normal rubber and it stopped.
Never tried 235/45 on - couldnt even get it on the hubs (with standard coils) so just dropped down the size (215/40)
I would go 215 its plenty
If rears wear out just go down to 255 they aren't that much and still look good0

Very impressed with all the work you have put into it. Given me ideas to fix my SW20 up, epically the trim clips!!! Also need new ash tray and RH door switch panel, one of the clips holding it in have broken.
Love those seats also!!!!!
Keep it up :)

far out today's been annoying. I tried to fit HIDs to the fogs... don't think that's going to work without cutting wires (which i'm not really willing to do).
one of the front enkeis has a flat (not too bad cause i have to get new tyres anyway) but it's just annoying cause no tyres places seem to be open on sunday!
Thanks to everyone who said to change the valve. will do. i want to wear down the tyres that are currently on the back first (hey free rubber - why not), and will then sort the 275s :)
edit: going to a mate's this arvo to raise the front coilovers (yay airtools). Will pick up a regular h3 bulb on the way. hopefully by next weekend i'll have the wheels sorted out too.
Also tried to spy a good location in the engine bay for the catch can. Looks like the only place i can put it is a pain, and will require me taking out the airbox every time i need to empty the thing :( gonna discuss it with my mate this arvo - hopefully fill find a better solution :)
