As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. Anyone on here have them or at least used them and have a view on them and the second is a vague idea of what, if anything, a pair of cream seats with matching door cards is actually worth ?

I heard back directly from Corbeau today and, as a consequence , have decided to take the plunge on a pair of LE pro seats . Which means that I have a pair of Lotus ‘Probax’ seats in cream with matching door cards that will end up on eBay in the near future .

I have never done a Toyota 6 speed before, but done several Peugeot gti 5 speed ones BE3/5 , Ford rod 4 and 5 speed ( I am old ) and Lancia Integrale 5 speed 4WD so I thought that the Toyota would be ok to do. Fortunately I have access to a press at a local friendly garage 5 mins away from where I live. Without one , the shaft strip would be very difficult unless one had hydraulic pullers ( which cost a small fortune )

Anyway, not hoe and dry yet as I have to shim the diff bearings before making any further progress, and I am waiting for the various thickness spacers that are listed ( I really should have got those from Megazip too but forgot .Doh)

And now with the sill covers. Driven about 150 miles today. The seats are a very nice place to be in. I’m delighted with the purchase so the battle with the seat belt stalks was worth it. Just the har
