Ok so I got the seats in. Never knew that getting aftermarket seat brackets in would be such a PITA. They sit really high but I'm going to get my uncle to maybe cut them up and modify them to make the seats sit lower. But overall I am happy and they are very comfortable.
Attachment 527836 Attachment 527837 Attachment 527838 The next step is to find a spot where I can mount the harness bar for the harnesses. |
Those look great but man It would drive me crazy rubbing on the headliner like that.
I found these the other day they've gotten great reviews from what I've read going to try them out when I get enough money for seats and a cage.Low Seat Sliders |
Holy balls, 500 for a set?

You said the roads there get nasty in the winters? i recommend putting a bit of anti-seize on the threads when you go to put the coilovers in. I had to raise my car up this winter for my snow tires and it was seized together. had to leave it outside in the -20 degree weather and then hit it with a torch and a hammer to get it apart. Great build though, after you get those coilovers on it will make the biggest difference. i hate my winter setup because it sits about 2 1/2" higher than it does in the summer, and i think it makes my car look ugly haha.

Those are some super sexy coils! and damn i want that lip so bad. gotta save pennies (which I'm terrible at) I just bought a S5 front number, crash bar with fog lights so I'm in the midst of changing from s4 to s5 and then I'm getting the lip and roof spoiler and a diffuser from shine auto. Loving the car man! That lip makes the s5 front end so worth in for my sake in the end! s4 is pretty, s5 has got a bit of down-syndrome but with the lip its pure sex!. keep it coming man! BTW coil over install is super easy! i did my teins in like 2 hours! GET TO IT!

Ok so today I finally had the time and weather permitting to clean my interior up a little. I got the harnesses just about where I want them, although I still need to do a little more modification. But here are some pics of the interior cleaned up today.
Attachment 648119 Attachment 648120 This weekend the coilovers will FINALLY go in. I will return with updates then. |
I'm confused about what's going on with the harnesses.
What are the shoulder straps going to attach to? |

I've never seen such an arrangement (is there another buckle/snap/latch in the back?) but sorry, it doesn't look "ok" at all.
Just to start, I believe that @10° is the max below horizontal allowed for the shoulder strap mounts. |

It really is all about safety... Racing seats and harnesses aren't supposed to be for looks.

Well I said it wasn't going to happen..but it did. With this thing called life, I seem to have slipped away from this forum again. I owe you all A LOT of updates. So I guess we will start off with the new wheels.
Attachment 630600 Lets just say I made em work. I guess before that I can say that I added a few things like skirts and rear caps to the car... the lip that I added got destroyed when I used to be on 17s.. So i just drove the whole summer of 2014. But after a while, I changed the way I wanted the car to look. I want my car to look straight out of the street/sexy style japanese culture. I just want people to see my car and be like man... I can see where his influences came from. Anyway I drove her a lengthy 6 hours to h20i (yes i know its a vw show but hey i like to party too). I decided that the car wasnt low enough (dumb) so i lowered it more than its ever been and tighened up that suspension and made the haul (mistake). First on the way down I hit a chunk of ashpalt right off the Bay Bridge... Destorying my front lip that I just reglassed and painted.. Was mad, but not that mad, coulda been way worse. So anyway we get down there and I drive in the rain with no wipers (dumb) and say to hell with it ill wait till the weather clears up. So it finally does and i go to get breakfast about a hundered streets away from my hotel.. and my tools. Go to leave Dennys and my clutch master bites the dust.. Skip all the advance auto bs and tryin get a master and needless to say that the ol man came through and hauled a trailor down to come get her.. Was super bummed cause I got tons of offers while down there to be featured in multiple things but hey thats life :dunno: Attachment 630601 Anyway I got her back home and fixed her up and drove it until it was freezing balls. Got it fixed and got a few pics before winter set in. Attachment 630602 Attachment 630603 Attachment 630604 Anyway shes in the garage now getting a few new things. Ill post more pics as I advance in progress. (promise) |
