SPLparts sells awesome and affordable seats.

The seat is pretty huge, like everyone has said, being able to concentrate on driving without worrying about bracing yourself on the car door is a plus haha.

I cooked the paint off the OUTSIDE of my fender from rubbing under full lock. Hammer time. I dont see how people get off on the sound of tires rubbing on metal. It annoys me. Haha.

Yes, bucket. NRG buckets are $300pr on ebay. Get two, sell the other to a friend. That's what i'm doing. Mine are in zee mail now! I can't wait.


I'm trying to picture watching footy of someone trying to drift and flopping around all over the place and it's funny.

Most of my friends i hang out with have racing seats. Not for fashion, because they keep your *** planted and makes driving the car hard more enjoyable.











Next topic. Anyone running their s4 front lower ball joints ON TOP of the control arm as apposed to underneath it? I'm wanting to try it but dunno if it's going to be strong enough set up like that.
