Socks Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 They fit surprisingly well, even Ricky was surprised... Looking forward to having a sit in it tomorrow! Hit a bit of a snag tho... The bar you see in front of the seats, (original seat mountings) at the moment unlike the rear one, is very structural... Its made from much thicker metal and welded to the car in many more places.... So as a temporary thing, that's staying in place for now (stops the seat being put forward).... When I go for a cage it can be removed and the strength can be added back in, in a different way.... To allow full movement of the seat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_VF22 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Seats look awesome matt When is it getting mapped ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well, its done now. Ready for mapping! Only setback atm, is Azz's car is on the dyno having a map written from scratch! Which is going to take some time. So mines next in the que, then its boost time! Mine should get on the dyno mid/end of next week, all being well! In Other News... Seats are finished and in... Had a sit in them today. Wow! Much further back then the stock seats. There a little higher which wasn't the best. So ill be working on a solution to put them on the absolute floor soon when Ricky has some more time! Look awesome though and hug you soooo good! She is going to need another 1 day clean again! Roll on next week for a mapping Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well, as I mentioned above. I was uber happy with the seats and how much further back they were. However the height was niggling me! As I want things perfect! So, I decided to loose the ability to slide the seat to get them lower... Gave Ricky the go ahead to remove the seats from the sliders, then I received this pic: Turns out we gained what looks to be 2 inches! Which doesn't sound a lot, but in terms of seat height, that's 2 miles! So its looking like the driving position is going to be chuffing awesome! To give you a better idea of height: Base of seat where your arse goes is level with the sill haha! Best thing is, the recline function still works and the height adjustment built into the seat also still works! So the seats can be raised around 3 inches+ if needs be to line up to the stock seat height or even higher! As they come up they also come forward, which is beneficial if I feel generous enough to let any reasonably tall friends have a drive! haha. More to come folks!

H_D Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Lol...The previous owner of my V only sold it as he outgrew the car he was 6.4 at the time iirc,He had the lowest rail on the drivers side with a recaro bucket seat and he still didnt quiet fit he used to get a lot of stick from his mates who said he looks like an overgrown baby in a pram lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That is seat porn. What are they out off? Or, are they just a Recaro line which doesn't come standard in a car? They look gorgeous! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
