Makes my bloody boil to hear they are just dragging this for so long, Doesn't this Indika fellow like to get paid after its done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumesh88 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 How about seeking services of an exorcist to ward off any evil spirits in the garage who are delaying the project?

Same story everywhere in Sri Lanka with these "Maka baases"!!! " they were toying with the front seat rails when i went today." True story , they do that to stuff that we find very hard and valuable. cant yell or smack in the face because you need the monkey to get the work done! its a very difficult situation!

Komisiripala Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Finished the interior today. Paint and exhaust left. Nah they aren't makayas. They know what they're doing. It's just that they're lazy as fcuk. Looking good. Maybe Monday? I can dream... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komisiripala Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Going there tomorrow machan. Need to get some clearer pics during the daytime. Very close to finishing up. Another 2-3 days work. Wonder how many rest days will be in between that tho. Let's see... A few badges and whatnots I have to fix on the interior myself. And have to redo the stereo. I'm not giving that over to the tinker. Raer the Bara boys do it. So I'll be spending a couple of days after I get her out to sort those things as well. She also has no light bulbs so that needs to be addressed as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeyBlitzen Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Those recaro sr replicas are really nice. are they a lot lighter than oem seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komisiripala Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 About the same weight. Malaysian brand SSCUS. Went for them after seeing the pair janaka Rodrigo got for his sti. Really well built. And everyone who sat in them swore they were the most comfortable sport buckets ever. Excellent build quality and value for money. I love them. Replica recaros are in comparison quite crappy and more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their range of designs are quite outstanding, and as Suneth mentioned the build quality is quite impressive. If your on a budget and want brand new seats its the brand to go for.

The Don Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Give us a comparison of price of recaros, vs replicas vs sucus just so I understand what good value they are! Also is it possible to get the material that they do these seats in, in Sri Lanka? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
