seat and rail delivery

My seat and frame arrived today. I went for a Bride seat rail that has a slide rail and side mount adapters. The seat is a Bimarco Expert FIA approved seat.

I think I might find out if I can find some wear pads to make it last a little longer, as the velour looks a bit thin.

Toyota Sprint

Its been a long time since I have done anything to my MR2, its been held up in my garage for almost a year whilst I have been working on saving money and finishing my MG B project.

New year and financially a little better, I have joined the Toyota Sprint Series with the hope of actually using my car. Towards the end of last year I was contemplating joining the MR2 Super GT Series, but I would need to get my car and myself MSA approved.. and that required roll cages etc.. expensive.

I was not content with the idea of just doing a couple of track days, and the sprint series really shone out.

Technically all I need to compete will be a helmet, as I hoping to qualify for the A2 Pro category. I have bought a Bride seat frame, and am currently looking at composite seats to go on top. Other things I need are


  • Helmet (blue sticker)
  • Bolt in my harness
  • Bolt in my fire extinguisher
  • EBC Yellow stuff brake pads
  • Livery for the car
  • Toyo Proxies R888s 
  • Momo steering boss to replace the random thing that's currently in there.
