Hi, yes, they are a bit lower than the OEM seats. Probably 2/3 inch lower as a guesstimate? Should give me enough room to wear a helmet in relative comfort.

I'm bang on 6ft tall as a guide.

Hi, wow, possibly?! I've done a few events at Santa Pod over the years. Had a black UK spec Supra at the time I believe?

This is in front of the house in Bicester. Unfortunately I can't find my disc with all the photos from the event at Santa Pod. I do remember there was an R34 that broke it's driveshaft and still ran a low 10 sec pass.

I was stationed with the US Air Force out in RAF Croughton from 2006 - 2008. They have since decided that I was a much better fit back in New Mexico and have been here since December 2008.

Small world mate!

Shame to hear they moved you away from here, as you know the UK is a pretty cool place to live when all things are said and done.

Shame it's so bloody expensive though!

Thanks for the memories though. Good spot!

Hi mate.

Thanks. It's not done just yet unfortunately. Waiting on the manual IS250/350 frame to come in from the guys I bought everything from.

Currently bolted down with three out of four bolts, but I'm not going to use it like this anymore than is absolutely necessary.

Just need to find time to fit the sensors for my gauges. Trouble is everyone is really busy at the moment!

I'll get there in the end though.

Do love how they look.
