Just got my racing seats. INSTALLED PICS

[Rob]

infact no reclining seat that I've seen has 5pt support... why not??? >_<

If you are concerned enough about safety to necessitate a 5 point, then you should also understand the dangers of adjustable seats. if you want to run 5 points, do it right, with a roll bar and buckets

Fricking hot man. :)

The silverish accent works great with your car's color.

Matt, I should warn you about the rear seat bolts going through the bottom of the car just incase you haven't noticed, particularly the drivers side. The factory bolt is too long with the custom bracket and will drive through a fuel? line underneath the car.

Wouldn't the seat bracket make it protrude less underneath the car? I don't get it...

Where did you pick up your brackets??

[BMW BMXER]

they look fantasic, they are adjustable correct?

Totally off topic but if he gets to keep his avatar I will be outraged. :evil:

Look very nice, are they very supportive though? I'm a tall lanky guy. How about leaning the seat forward? I like to be biting the wheel when I'm autocrossing.

looks pretty good, your interior is spotless, props on the clean carpet

I had the same problem when I installed my Recaro SRD's. On the driver side you either have to cut the bolt or put spacers on top otherwise you could possibly puncture one of your lines underneath. That would not be too good. Looks awsome MAtt.

I had the brackets custom made at a welding shop. I painted them so they dont rust too. I already installed the brackets, but I will check to see if they hit the fuel lines. The brackets are 18" long. The front ones go in 1.5" from the sides, then 90' up 1", hten over. The rear are flat. They are made of 1/4" flat bar mild steel.

About support, I am 6'5" 230, and they fit me perfectly. You can adjust it so you are very straight up, and you can also lean foward (to get to rear seat).

Nice upgrade! You really need them!

Sounds like you are happy, I'll check them out on Saturday's Eurofest!

Matt,

Looks interesting... I just bought some racing seats off ebay for $280 for two. I'll post them once I get them installed...

Looks good man... Though they seem a bit 'fatter' than SRDs but more like RSX seats...

[Schnell 318]

so the real question is are they comfy?

[randomtask37]

why does your car have to be so phat and mines not



haha anyway, nice seats/interior!

If you search the seller of that auctions other items, and go to page 11 or so you'll see the same seat over and over with different logos(honda crap, TRD, ect...) too bad he don't show one with NO logo...

Are ebay searts like that known to get torn up quickly? (jordan?)

BTW, he actually charges moer for the seats you bought then than all the others...I guess the different logo 'add value'....

But what the hell - they look nice, and if they fit good... :wgaf:

Can't speak for those particular seats but not all "cheap" seats are poor quality. Some are going to be better than others. Mike A got a pair of Sparco's from ebay for like $280....I got a pair of Tenzo Type R's with brackets/sliders for $315 delivered and with deals like that it's hard to go wrong. I have since reupholstered my seats so the quality of the cloth is a non issue.
