Had to cut the ends off on the PW battery tray and file the plastic ribs on the sides of the battery to fit it in. But it actually wants to start now and locks properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogan special Redline, Power is about 260rwkw after tune on P100 Nice and torquey and has a nice V8 note. With all the fancy features I am starting to really like driving it.Power is down, but nothing a supercharger wont fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xb99 Member 90 Member For: 17y 1m 20d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 01/09/14 05:39 AM Share Posted 01/09/14 05:39 AM I put some leather seats in my car I picked up from the wreckers. Front+Rear, Door Skins + centre control lid. Had to clean them up a bit, looks like the passenger seat had a coke spill that was left to set. Came up really well, awesome upgrade. I found it easy enough to do myself.The driver seat had a bit of play in it after I fitted it, so I pulled it back out, and swapped my old base with the leather base and put back in, not more play, didn't investigate much. Seem to be movement allowed by one of the motors.What do the electrics do that plug into the passenger seat? Is it some sort of occupancy sensor? I tried seating there after putting the leather in without doing the seat belt up and it didn't chime or anything, can't remember if it did before. I'm mainly concerned it wont deploy the airbag if it doesn't know someone is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so and the leather seats have them too you will be fine.If your originals didnt have them but the new ones do, you will at least need to see ford in order to 'turn them on' in the computer, perhaps even upgrade the bcm.And lastly if you had seat airbags but now dont you will get a airbag light on the dash all the time. This option could also affect your insurance and roadworthy. Edited 01/09/14 07:28 AM by hawlass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
