Hell yeah! Oh god VIPER!

Considered a quick release for all those steering wheel changes. Popular with the bucket seat crew at least, for ingress/egress.

Got photos? Was it just poorly machined/cast? Or was it on of those scary screw on extender types?

Looks ok, did it leave your steering wheel wobbly?

I assume the short part means not much extension?

Nice, going to add a pocket to break up the massive space there?

I bought a shitty boss kit for my nardi that won't work without modification, so i contacted the seller (china :roll:) and they refunded me so I'll modify it at work tomorrow.

So I've done a fair bit since my last update,

My bonnet got damaged in the hail couple of months ago and I got a second hand one for $50 only thing was it was red, if I tried to paint it white I new it wouldn't match so I. Chose Matte black, since I was doing that I decided to paint my flares matte black as well, it turned out well my dad did most of it and he did a great job,

I also picked up a seat finally. I believe it's a bride zeta 1, I got it from mx5center for a massive $50! I also picked up some side mount rails for $89 at the same time.

Image

Image

I drove to philipisland on it for the classic's and I decided it was slightly too high so on my way home I picked up some steel, drilled a few holes (measured once by eye like a real mechanic)
And it worked great,

Image

So that's about it for now, next one my list I think is some DIY canards
