Blake's Jimny

Passed the MOT first time around last week! Still in shock that there were only two advisories. 

I've got the oil seal ready to be fitted, as long as a new (and hopefully right) gearbox mount too.

Also managed to find an exact match tyre on eBay to go with my other Goodyear Wranglers on the car! I went and got that fitted this afternoon.

Always a good feeling, even if you are confident when you send it in.

These should have been here sometime in February, however due to an issue in Japan (them not being loaded into the container or whatever) I've had to wait until today to collect my JDM heated seats!

I stripped out all bar the driver's and made my way to the ports, loaded them up and made my way home before stopping briefly to fit the passenger seat.

 

Got home this afternoon and fitted the rest, however one key difference compared to my UK/EU spec. seats (which will be for sale shortly) is that the headrests dont come all the way up to where I want them. I've cut my own notch into the driver's side one at the moment, and I'll figure out a way using some metal dowel to extend them so they fit snugly in the holes in the seat.

Next job is to remove the dash (again) and install the JDM wiring loom so that the OEM button will work on the seats.

I've also got the issue again of the seat cushion disintegrating, however as I'm we'll versed in replacing them I'll try and source a replacement one from ebay.

     

I'm hoping to have a warm arse this winter!

 

Way too Hot for my liking. 
All Norwegian Jimnys got the hemmorhoid fryers. 
Seems to be a different plug and change from 3 to  2 wires between 04 and 05. 

Full leather seats came here in 2012-ish.

Yours look very nice.

I think Germany, possibly France, also got them.

Are yours leather too?

My seats are from the 2004 model wich in Norway came well equipped with "extras" compared to the earlier and my 2005.
The front seats have leather edges with center some sort of fabric.

They have much better side support and the rear seat can fold flat unlike the stupid 2005 seats my car came with.

Also changed to a later model leather steering wheel from the horrid plastic my car came with.
