OK Update time! rear right stabilizer link done waiting on one for the left brakes done (need to flush lines sorry no pics) used centech posiquiet ceramics and BG greese man there nice! Swapped out seats with kia rio seats! and just put in intermittent wiper switch from a suzuki esteem (thanks Mythstae and 2000Firefly1.3L for the writeups and advice!) the kia seats I got at a pull n pay for $60 total for both there premo and had seat covers on them! ![]() the stock seats had the two from brackets bent down and the two hole piece on the side ![]() I had to pin the seat down with one matching hole ad beat the tar out of the front mounts with a hand maul to fit bolts in, the rear mount i could drill and bolt but the seat sits tight with 3 bolts also that one mount sits alittle high tilting the seat alittle to the door ![]() I had to swap the seatbelt deals out to use stock seat belts doing a little cutting on the plastics and using the longer bolts for the rio seats ![]() i lost about 2 inches of leg room but i still fit ok, mod for the rails may come later.. got adjustments lumbar support and an arm rest! and my right cheek and knees don't hurt anymore!

Perfect car to take for a trip nice pictures.Weird to see 75mph and such a low RPM ha ha. The metros handle head winds quite nice, low to the ground small profile they seem todo well. Edited by ZXTjato, Sep 1 2014, 10:18 AM.

Thank you thank you! i80 was rough very rough I had just enough downhill to get up to 75 in 5th on that shot otherwise it was alot of 45 high revs trying not to get flattened I don't have anything to compare with, what is the avg rpm at 75 on these gen 3bangers? 287 on the way back was a real pleasure nice and easy going. |

the tires have been great sofar no rubbing great handing seams to eased steering much more quiet and good amount of roll down hills and light slopes and just more comfortable about twice that of cheeper 13"s but there longevity and performance made it a steal! next i gotta find the trim strips on the roof and clean up the window ones Edited by Panzerjunkie, Oct 25 2014, 09:08 PM.
