Howdy, before anyone shits a chicken, I did a lot of research but still can't get my head around this and don't want to spend any more money where it's not needed.

So the Glanza needs new seats, the drivers side is a wrecked Recaro SR2 on a recaro ep91 rail (real dodgy as there are bolts missing etc, i could rock the seat back and forth). The pass side is a mint condition 98 spec seat.

I've bought some mint condition seats from a 97 Acura Integra GSR, they're lovely seats, very comfy. Obviously the bolting pattern is vastly different and the rails themselves on the Acura seats sit about an inch wider. I can't see how the Glanza feet can be welded on without serious modification. Some people on here mentioned just drilling the rivets on the standard rail feet, and then bolting them onto the rails of any other seat. I'd imagine this would only work if the rails were the same distance apart? Either way I can't see how this can be done without serious modification.

From research, I see some people have used the ZEP Racing rails, but the retailers seem to need to know what sort of seat you will be using, so from what I can see these aren't universal. Others use the Recaro rails from Demon Tweeks, which are universal in that they have the ability to bolt any seat down to em.

How does this work though? I understand that the Recaro rails are able to be bolted down onto the floorpan using the standard bolts, but then how is the seat attached to the rail? On one side of the Acura seat, the standard rail is bolted into a threaded hole on the bottom of the seat, on the other side of the rail though it is riveted in using those solid rivets. That would leave a hole, but it's not threaded?

Any insight? Thanks.

I'll upload pics now lads! Would be interested to see what's been done to it

Found a service record stuck down the back of my glovebox and I'd like to get it translated

Ok so I have the following....

Optional ignition surround

Optional footwell lights

Rescueman

Still looking...

Rear oem brace (complete with strut covers)

Arm rest

Rear cup holders

any other tidy boxes etc,,,,

Keep em coming lads!

Isn't this the thing famous for making peoples kidneys explode? Seems very popular.

Ill take this bud. Pm me your email and I'll send ya the cash.

Probably best place on earth for welding bro. Alberta is anyways! 1st year apprentices start on around 25-27 an hr. Plenty of work, took me less than 2 weeks finding my current job and I'm loving it. Get it done bud!

Will blast you one after work man

Will pm you. I keep getting people pm'ing me to say they have stuff then never reply after that. Showing off lol. IM LOOKING TO BUY

Has to be some of the worst welding I've seen. Surely a keen amateur could just do that themselves and save a fortune.

See loads of the ugly ones for sale in jap auctions (the ones with the spare wheel mounted on the boot lid)

Sounds very fishy and yes this did come from Holland. I shall upload pics later after work.

There's also no seals intact or anything of that nature.

Bought a "Fisco plug and play ecu" from here. In terms of appearance, the box is completely identical to the standard ecu, except for a crude "Fisco" sticker that has been applied OVER the standard Toyota markings.

I fitted it and have noticed that there is no increase in performance and the rev limiter is identical to the standard ecu.

I'm guessing I have been ripped off?

Still got absolutely nothing!!!!

Bump still needed

PM'd all of you. Keep em coming lads!

Na na its the cover to go on if you DO have the rear strut

Amayama. Just ordered two for myself.

Need one of these as I've got a brace without em. They go on top of the strut towers for those who don't know.

How did the powder stand up to chips?

Yip, rspca has the power to confiscate an animal if it is not being looked after, and a dog barking all day would suggest that. Report them anonymously.

Half the problem is people taking offence by what's said. If someone disagrees with your religion, colour, sex, creed sexual orientation etc then that is their problem. Its pretty egotistical to think everyone should agree with you on everything you stand for.

People out here take the piss out of me for being Irish, its potato this and alcoholic that. I don't care. Take it with a grain of salt and go back to your life. IMO any religion is ridiculous and the base of the majority of not all wars, and from the way of the world now, the Muslim faith seem to be the most extreme/pissed off.

Don't much care for any religion, as long as your not hurting me or mine. Also enjoy racist/religious jokes, as I understand it works both ways and I'm cool with it as long as its not malicious intent or directed at someone face to face. Chill out, life is too short to spend half of it trying to prove a point.

Read the wiki on ecu upgrades. Std ecu can't be touched, you can stick in a "self learning" style one like JAM, Fisco etc,a piggyback like EMU or EM Blue. Also standalone systems. What's best for your situation will rely on the mods you have.

1998 ep91

Basically I'm looking to get a brand new kit, as the one I bought is missing a piece of pipework and its crazy money to replaceq. I'm tempted to get wepr to make me a rear entry kit that doesn't require bumper hacking, as I want to keep the car as OEM on the exterior as possible.

Are any kits on the market right now bolt on without abortionising the bumper? Cheers!

Also I'll be running air con, but a half size trip core rad and slim fan, standard ct9.
