Blue Beauty from Malaysia

[simonc]

@wurlycorner, method in my madness, Iain. If I'm broken into (again), even a complete moron wouldn't steal three wheels. Unless, of course, there's a tricked out Reliant Robin owner looking for a 'set' of stolen Enkei wheels somewhere in Malaysia.
T'other is back at the house, securely stored, covered in cling film.

Hi again Nathan, actually, I was surprised as I expected at least one dead cockroach or some other tropical nasty somewhere in all that gubbins . Gave it all a good blow through with that air-gun thing and must admit, the air-con is running very well. As an added bonus, I now have a little 'beep' sound when I switch on the air-con. (little things/little minds eh?)

Nice updates!
where did you get that carbon wire cover from?

[simonc]

Thanks @mart609, I bought it from Farlow late last year. Now I'm looking for a carbon spark plug cover to match it.

Nice update simon,the difference in the 'Off' button on the heat controls,very small but one of those annoying wear and tear issues you look at every day driving .
I keep looking at those seats in the pics there and went back to the start of your build thread to find out more but running out of time tonight,have you got a pic of them on their own or one with more seat showing as all i've seen is the bottom half so far!
Just looking to feed my gloat at the moment but they look superb.
I have seen leather upholstered ones before but the mix of colour and material there on yours has me wanting.
I have been window shopping for Recaros (very lightly) recently but if i could get a finish like that why bother.

Thanks @wurlycorner. How about one like this?


Rather sexy eh?

Hi Greg-SiR, thanks for the comments, especially about the seats. I actually had them reupholstered by a local guy who's a relation of my better half. He did an absolutely fabulous job and believe it or not, for both the front seats the total came to RM650 which was a steal. Trouble is, he speaks no English, has no email, no website and relies totally on word of mouth for his business. Some of the guys here asked about seat covers from him but frankly he's not really that bothered as he's enough drive-in business, if you get my drift, to not get involved in international shipping etc. I think he's missing a great opportunity but he's pretty set in his ways so he'll keep supplying his network of customers and keep doing what he does best. Fingers crossed you'll be able to find what you want fella, , Si.

or people could deal through you

Thanks Simon,you found a wonder there with that guy!
If you ever cross paths again and found out he had enough material there to post out for 2 more seats don't forget me
I've got a sis living in Singapore too,loves it.
Still like to see a good pic of them if you have one at hand,cheers.
I've seen full leather upholstered on the odd Prelude here and it looks fine but just not practical with the average heat,like you in Singapore but we only get 9 months or so of it here.

Morning @Greg-SiR, sure will buddy. So, your sister's in Singapore eh? Do you plan to pop up to see her? If you ever do fella then let me know as it'd be a good excuse to pop down and give the beast a blast on the motorway and hook up with a fellow Luder.
(Don't forget to bring your tools, I'm sure there'll be something I can ask you to wave a few spanners at! )
I do have some shots of the seats so I'll dig them out and put them up later today.
