Pointy seats?
Is there a difference between the K4 and K7 years of the pointy front seats?
i've put a K4 rear subframe on my K7. didnt go on as easily as i'd like as the undertray was a total ******* to fit. my K7 seat doesnt line up with the holes on the sub frame. seems to be about an inch or so off and the seat is really tight up to the fuel tank.. have i got to now buy a K4 seat? cheers! |

Re: Pointy seats!?

Are you sure it's a K4 and not a K3? I believe they were slightly different.
Edit: Damn, beaten to it. |

Re: Pointy seats?
well the guy on ebay said it was a K4 subframe...i'll get onto him...ugh!
if i get a K3 seat will that fix the problem if i have the K3 S/frame? i've just bought a FUEL exhaust can for the later models, is this gonna cause a fuk up?! cheers for the quick replies by the way! |

Re: Pointy seats?
K3 is the odd model out, a K4 onwards seat will fit a K4 onwards subframe.

Re: Pointy seats?

Re: Pointy seats?
Sounds like it's a K3 so will need a K3 seat for it. This WILL cause you issues with your new exhaust as it wont reach the exhaust mount. The K3 subframe sits higher than the K4 on models.
You will also need new panels for just below the seat (the black triangle bits). Regards
