Bought this today!!!



Trouble is how do i fit it?

Got a friend who is a mechanic and hes gonna look at it for me,

But any ideas as to what rails etc i need for it to fit in my TS???

[angelos]

I hope you mean you bought these and not this (a pair I mean)
Unless you are planning to rip off the passenger seat and put some nitrous bottles

You either have to much time on you're hands or way to much surplus money to do all this work on your car.

[Andre79]

ur talking to me mr gazr cos im not the one who changed the seats well i might do it

[gazr]

Sorry Andre79, I thought the post was from you, please accept my unconditional apologies. Gazr

[Andre79]

its ok i do understand ur point if my mom knew how much the accessories will cost me mom will sure hang me from the 7th floor

then i will wish to buy seats rather then schuff plates...aero bumper...sporty grill....etc

I only bought the one because there was only one for sale and i bought it for £90.
Haggled with the seller, A guy of civiclife.net

Slightly harsh don't you think?
I asked how to fit them, not your opinion on what I should and should not do with my car.
If you don't like it and have nothing mildly usefull to say I'd appreciate it if you kept your opinion to yourself.

now now people , be nice everyone has their own point of view, lets be grown up and accept them

Garethts you will need subframes to fit the bucketseat correctly to the car but this is an expensive item, or you could go down the road of making your own brackets and failing your MOT

Hi Gareth,

Have you considered your side airbags? They're actually mounted in the side of you seat.

And also it may be worth thinking about your seatbelt options as you've got the pretensioners under the seat. It may be worth you investigating harness options.

One big plus of changing the seat is you're going to make one heck of a weight saving, which should aid performance (and economy) - which is what the 2 is all about. Good luck with the project!

good comment by Wades. he's right in what hes saying , have you thought about the cons and pro's or did u just decide to get new seats which is wot im guessing you did, seeing as your young like myself and i used to be like it
but as ive seen proper modified cars and not just the crappy chavvy ones that drive round the streets.
ive gone down the road of , if your gona do something to your car , do it correctly and spend the right money cos itll all be worth it in the end

[Garethts]

Thanks for the advise Wades

Belive it or not I have actually taken all this into consideration. Apart from the frames i don't know where to get them from.

I am aware of the airbag sit, and im still looking for a way around it.

The seat belt: have looked into it, http://www.reflexsafety.co.uk/sbh_1.html seam adiment on saftey, so i am going to enquire about one.

The main thing for me is the weight, because the standard seats are heavy!!! but I didn't want to get a cheap one, I have always liked recaro seats. And you only live once!

So if anyone knows of the best way around the airbag issue would be great, as i now have a bad head from all the research

[Scott]

i couldn't answer that one sorry dude =(

would you like to meet up soon Garethts get some photos of our cars =] seeing as your just down the road from me

[Garethts]

I may just wing it without the airbag for a bit 

but im gonna get it sorted,

Ohh ye i think thats a good idea scott , I would have to clean her firs though lol

We'll have to arrange a day on a weekend sometime

I don't know where i can get the slide runners from thought. any ideas anyone?
