Re: Drivers seat removal

I took the car to a local garage and they couldn't figure out how to remove the seat either - they recommended taking it back to the guy who built it. :shock: Anyway, I perceived and after digging around in the the only place I could, in the gap between the base and the upright section, I spotted wh...

Re: Drivers seat removal

Sorry, 2012 DAX Rush V8. It's booked into the garage now anyway - they can sort it out. It's probably just me being stupid - I'll let you know what they find.

Re: Drivers seat removal

I've now drilled out the 4 studs underneath at the front of the seat and physically removed the 4 M6 bolts at the back of the seat. I can now look down from above an see the M6 holes at the back - so the seat frame is sitting directly on the floor at the back anyway, I think the slightly raised surf...

Drivers seat removal

Anyone know how the seats are fixed down? I've undone 8 M6s and 2 M8s under the car which look like they might be holding the drivers seat frame down, but although the seat now rocks a tiny amount its still not going anywhere?

Re: Brake up-grade options

Update on this - Noticed that the brake fluid was looking rather brown - don't think it's been changed for years. Should have checked this really - school boy error. Anyway too late now as the 4-pot calipers have been ordered. Going to change the front calipers and all the discs/pads and fluid and s...

Re: Brake up-grade options

Hi Steve / Scudder - I'm afraid I've been spoiled in the brake department over the last 22 years as I've been driving Porsches, and even my daily drive has 4 pot Brembo's. I'm used to gently pressing the brake peddle with my big toe and the vehicle coming to a controlled stop. Any braking system tha...

Re: Brake up-grade options

Thanks Steve - lots of useful information there. The car currently has 260mm front discs with single pot calipers, which feel under powered IMO. Currently looking to replace them with a 283, 300 or 325mm 4 pot caliper kit. If anyone has been down this route, then feel free to chip-in with advice. Th...

Brake up-grade options

Hello – New DAX Rush owner here. I’m already thinking about upgrading the front single pot brake calipers to four pot calipers, but I need to know what vehicle the steering knuckles were sourced from. I’ve taken some photographs, here> https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsRQ3YcdckUvhFvqGW2LK0DXPXnK?e=yTdkg8 https:...
