An update
Hi all had a busy weekend with the car.
Made the decision to go for bucket seats after the last track day at blyton. Just felt myself sliding out of the standard 5 seats on the high speed corners and not enough to lean into in general.
So with this I started some research, oh boy..... Can of worms comes to mind
Searched all over and resulted in me picking a subframe that looked like it would work. Stated on the site that the pic was different but I thought I'd give it a shot. Autostyle was the name.
Well these arrived
Sparco subframes :cry: I knew from here I was going to be in trouble after everything I've read of seats ending up miles higher than the recaros etc etc
These sparcos were insanely high and forward couldn't believe it :shock:
So a quick phone call and these are off back to the company for refund! If anyone reads this and considers these mounts DONT DO IT the quality of them was shocking!
I must say though this is entirely on the sparco not the company that supplied them to me.
This left me itching to fit them. I decided to take the rails off my old recaros and see how I went on.
To my surprise they fitted easily! So I got on with the installation. I wrapped the seats mounts with some edge trimmer to stop me scratching the seats, looks really good
Wasn't too long until the seats were in
Seats in
Great seats MIRCO RS2 seats very light, I reckon all in I've saved 10kgs each side!
I had to mod the omp brackets to lower the seats further and they are Ok now I would say the same height as the recaros. I'm going to get some weld in subframes so I can have the seats lower in the future.
Fitted a Ralliart gear knob too, always liked the look of these whenever I've seen them
So the interior is looking like this
Fitted this after seeing a R33 GTR go up in flames on the motorway near me. Got some Velcro straps coming so its secure and still easy to get to.
And made the purchase of this Go Pro Hero 3 Motorsport edition, can't wait to get it used and some footage of trackdays :awesome:
That's about it for now. Got a cold air feed to install and hopefully get my hands on a intake pipe to get the air filter behind the head light. Ooo and a dash dodger roll cage I got off eBay for a steal! (That may wait until winter though)
Thanks for looking
