Heated bucket racing seats...blasphemy!!! lol
so happy for you!

Yes sir, I'll get you the info. Same shop we were doing the remote tuning for awhile back! I know it's a roadster 350 it's going in.

thats awesome and im glad its working out proper for you!

:icon18:

Heated, reclining, leather, racing seats. :p :bowrofl:

Me too. They said they're going to send me high res photos from the photo shoot before they ship them out to me, just to mess with me. :rofl2:

Thanks Jim :tiphat:

I knew I shouldn't check this thread.

Instead, now I want leather, reclining, heated racing seats too.

Thanks Jason.

:icon17: Can't wait to see them!

Lol I had the heating elements put into my seats and I live in Florida. I don't want a cold bum!

Galeforce do u think u can make it to this show?

I too am planning on going this summer

:icon18: Sorry :icon17:

I put them in for my wife. She is barely in the Z, but when she is, she uses the heats and melts (a good thing). I have to look after her since she supports everything I do with this car.

Strongly considering it. I need to check my calendar.

hmmm not to crazy far from me, i might be down for this

Do it!!!!!!

only if you do:rofl2:

I will let you know when I secure a baby sitter for Mini GaleForce. :tup:

Momma said I can go, as long as i make it home sunday night because she has to work Monday.

How long of a drive is it for you? It's 5.5-6 hours for me.

Drive via I-80 E · 421 mi 6 h 31 mi

:rofl2:　like racing in first class seating. :icon17:

It would take me 5 to 6 hrs from Toronto.
I think it would take you only 35 min:roflpuke2:

Nah, You would end up getting there before me. You would make up time by passing me every time I got pulled over. :roflpuke2:

I wish I had some photos to share :ugh2: . Everything is in limbo which, is ok because we still have a crap load of snow here. Double :ugh2:

My project list,

• Install seats, harnesses, harness bar. Seats will be ~5 weeks.
• Find a factory strut bar. (Wiggins might be able to help me out with this)
• Get strutbar and harness bar painted.
• Install fuel pump relay/wiring upgrade.
• Call TiAL ask about a fix for BOV's sticking open during idle. This is apparently a common issue as found by doing a simple Google search and seeing many hits with the same issue.
• Swap out red crankcase filters with more descrete black ones.
• Modify/rebuild the craptastic Password JDM rad cooling plate.
• Fabricate some sort of rear difuser for the Amuse bumper.
• Fabricate something to give me a front tow hook. Possibly fab a crash bar with threads for tow hook. If/when I do this I will make 4 or 5 for anyone that has a BP kit that may want one. I'm not looking for crash protection as much as a place for my tow strap (when at shows) and licence plate for daily driving.

Anything I'm forgetting?

you are going to be a busy man :tup:

Holy Shmoly you're gonna be working OT to get that list completed:roflpuke2:
Can't wait to see it:yum:

It's not as bad as it looks. I'll do the fuel pump wiring when I'm wiring up the heated seats and have the stock seats out. Harness bar will be installed at the same time. Probably 2 days there.

Breather filters are a 5 minute job, BOV springs are a 5 minute job (assuming I need to replace the springs with a stiffer version).

The rear diffuser and the tow hook bar can be "anytime". It would be a nice addition to help set my rear bumper apart from the other Amuse bumpers.

I just remembered, I think I found a solution for oil warm up when cold. I need to verify my findings before I source the parts and pull the trigger.

The big hold back is getting a factory strut bar. If I had that I could get my parts painted now.

I got you on strut bar, I just need to be home to get it all together.

It's funny say something about the pwjdm cooling plate I have CFE fixing mine now.

Regarding the tow hook. Have you considered the Takata tow strap? It definitely requires some fabricating, but I'm getting mine altered now. I'll post on my thread when I get it. Hopefully the next couple of weeks.

I know you haven't forgot about me and the strut bar. :tup: Though it would be better if you sold me your TS bar. :bowrofl:

I like your Takata tow strap idea ;)

I just need something to mount it to since I don't have the tow hook/crashbar any more. I thought the intercooler was more important :roflpuke2:

Gotcha!

I might be interested in a crash bar depending on what you come up with. I'd have to do some research to see if what you come up with will fit a G.

Keep us posted on the TiAL BOV fix. If it's that common then it's likely something we will all need to know.

Not much of an update.

Still waiting on seats, and strut bar. I tried to contact TiAL, they only offer an email address for contact, no phone number that I could find. So I emailed them my issue with the BOV's sticking open at idle. I received one reply, they asked what my boost gauge shows when that happens. I responded back and haven't heard anything else. It's not like I have a rare problem, google 'TiAL BOV sticking during idle' and tons of hits come up. I don't know how these companies stay in business with such lousy customer service. :shakes head:

From what I've read you just need to put in a stiffer spring. It is opening because the vacuum is stronger than the spring at idle.

Thank you. :tiphat:

The problem is getting in contact with someone so I can purchase a pair of springs.

Did the bov come with more than 1 and is it possible to stack them like in a wg?

It's strange how so many people have this problem and they haven't done anything to mitigate it.

No spring options in my Tial BOV box and I'm positive Gale and I received the same box

Do you know the spring psi? They are available up to 12.

Unfortunately, no. The instructions that come with a Tial BOV and WG are lacking to say the least. The WGs didn't even come with a discription of what spring does what. Thankfully Sasha makes it easy and tells you to put the yellow one in!

The BOV's come with the 10 psi spring. No extras. The waste gates on the other hand came with a range of springs.

I did get paperwork for the waste gate springs. I can scan it and send it to you if you need it.

That would be cool. All I got was a diagram of how to plump it up, nothing on what combination to use based on desired psi.

Found it online. Here you go,
