Re: Anton's build
If you don't want buckets ignis sport, swift gti and old Recaro seats are a good fit.
Re: Anton's build
I've got a nice pair of mx5 seats that I picked up as they look like they would be a good fit size wise. A lot of the aftermarket seats are a bit too big for sjs.

Re: Anton's build
These are the things that are killing my lower back and my thighs:
I have a mate who's trying to get an SJ right now, I might pass my red monstrosities on to him.
At the moment, front runner is a set of seats like yours/donkeychomps because I know they fit, and that I'm comfortable once I'm in 'em.
I *think that these are they:

Don't particularly want red though. Black is what I think I'd prefer.

I'll look around - I saw some SportKa leather seats that looked like they might fit. Heated!ScottieJ wrote:If you don't want buckets ignis sport, swift gti and old Recaro seats are a good fit.

I might keep an eye out for them then, unless you're offering me your set?andyrew wrote:I've got a nice pair of mx5 seats that I picked up as they look like they would be a good fit size wise. A lot of the aftermarket seats are a bit too big for sjs.

I think those red ones are the same as mine. But they are a bit pants. Black is way better!

Re: Anton's build
Yes, I'd be happier with black, because they're less "in your face" and as such, less likely to attract the attention of chavs...

Re: Anton's build
Remounted that seat. Was too ill to do the job, but I had no choice as the MOT is today (old MOT runs out today) and I've got nowhere to put it if it fails.
Pretty sure not having a drivers seat is a fail.
The seat just touches the B pillar, and just touches the handbrake.
And the bracket I made gets in the way of the seat belt receiver, meaning I have to plug into the passenger side for now.
Really need those new MX5 seats in.
Anyhow, today I feel like grot. My illness is super kicking my ass now for pushing myself to get stuff done yesterday.
My full beam tell-tale is working now (I think it was just a dodgy bulb holder) although the 4x4 tell-tale still doesn't work, but I'll sort that another time.
There is a blank space in the dash between the left indicator tell-tale and the full beam (or is it between the full beam and 4x4 light? Doesn't matter...) - so I wanted to plug a bulb holder in that I already have wired up that fits the same socket. It's got wires coming out the back and it already lights up with the fog light, I just need to extend the wires, then I could use the spare slot for a fog light.
Just wondering if any later model zuks had a fog light tell-tale in that spot? I'm assuming that's why it's there - but mine is blacked out completely so putting a light in there won't work. I was hoping to grab a strip from a vehicle that has a fog tell-tale, and retrofit.
Anyhow, apart from two slow punctures I seem to have picked up recently the Zuk is working lovely now. Just need rid of these godawful seats.
My health is still a bit crap, so I probably won't be doing any PnP stuff for a while, but I would like to do a bit of laning soon out Guildford way with Alex - anyone up for joining?

Re: Anton's build
My old SJ never had a fog light err, light on the dash. It was on the switch. And why if your health is that dodgy did you not call? I could have done the seat for you. Berk.
Yes a bit of laning does appeal. The more the merrier!

Re: Anton's build
I would probably be ok with you giving me a hand getting the new MX5 seats I just bought off Andy into the wee beastie, mate!
