and will be $700 when I get a passenger side seat belt... they only had one in stock today. I bought the seats for $350 from a guy who lost his job and never even installed them, and needed the money. The rotors were $150, and the seatbelt was $100. These are the rotors I got http://www.inlinefour.com/powslotprost.html, my shit-brained camera didn't get a very detailed image.

Yeah, Recaro SRD knock-offs... figured hmm, $350 for non-thief magnets or $900+ to have "RECARO" stitched in. Or maybe I'm just a cheapass trying to find excuses :p

I take pics of everything. Just sitting in them on the ground I can tell they wouldn't be as comfortable as stock seats on long rides, but definitely in racing. Plus they look 10x better, so I can deal with it.

well i have a feeling that most racing seats on long rides are never gonna be comfortable, but maybe that is just me. cant wait for the pics, seems like no one has any other interest

The seat for my race car was quite possibly the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in. It was made by Momo called the Mirage. The thing about it was that it fit around my sides and shoulders totally perfect. Good for racing, TOTALLY impractical for the street... getting in and out of the seat was a circus stunt! So I guess its kind of a give and take deal. Little less comfort, little more convenience.

fuck no, I'm not ruining a four thousand dollar engine just to go a little faster here and there. That stuff was on my DX engine, and it's for sale now but nobody seems to want it... the kit is fine, I just don't want it anymore.

Blown, I'll PM you tomorrow about it.

Everybody, I finally got these motherf*ckers installed. They took me all weekend to do because they didn't really have all parts necessary. I had to chisel off the little L brackets or whatever from the old rails, measure, drill holes, line them up right, bolt them in etc... constantly remeasuring shit. Then I installed the seatbelt today. Those were a joy too, the little bolts for the straps to clip into didn't screw into anything and I had to make my own holes and thread them myself. It was a pain in my left cheek, but now they're finally in and holy crap it was worth it. It almost feels like I'm one with the car, every movement carries me along with it. Passenger seat belt coming next paycheck :)
