Read that the other day. Sad news, the  modifications market has changed beyond recognition since we were young and fitting sportier seats in parallel to mechanical upgrades. Now even the chip it brigade have moved on to re-mapping.

Technology is ever evolving. I distinctively remember the chipping days. Cosworth, R5 turbos. I owned a mental Nissan Pulsar that was chipped. 🤣
 

In between my post, BBS have gone as well, it seems.

Modern car seats are just solid blocks of foam now made on the cheap. They make my back and backside ache even after short distances. Yet the Escort with leaf springs and the harshest ride im fine. Im surprised Recaro aren't doing a roaring trade from people wanting something comfortable to sit on even in their modern Datsuns.
