I like where this is going!

[DER E30]

Well I would say pretty seats, painted rollbar, and new shocking devices lol do carry on!

[RCSummers]

Well, I caved.

As everyone else is going out on this lovely rainy saturday night. Im home installing my recaro... Yes singular. The passenger seat occupancy sensor bypass switch I ordered didn't come in the mail like it was supposed to. This is what I ordered So I'm only installing the drivers side today/tonight. Ill do the passenger side once the sensor is here. Hopefully sometime next week.

I'll also be doing a small walkthrough. That starts now......


1. Well the seat needs to come all the way forward to get at the 2 rear bolts, then it needs to go all the way back to get at the 2 front nuts.





2. Once the seat is out, youll stumble up some loot, a few tic-tacs, and maybe a dead bug or two.







3. Pick up all that change, and vacuum. After a heavy duty vacuuming.





4. Have to shout out my sponsor Meguiars. Used their Carpet and Upholstery cleaner to make things looking perfect on the floor. This stuff cleaned up the floor amazingly.



I just sprayed it all over the carpet. UGHHHHHH...





5. Now time to attach the seat belt receptacle + pyrotechnics (teheh i like that word) to the floor mounts. ALL THTA BLING. DA ICE!!





6. Bolt the floor mounts in. 2 nuts on the front, 2 bolts in the back. Torque to 33 lb/ft.





7.Make sure everything is all tidy and reconnect the harnesses.






AND..... Thats as far as Ive come so far. Time to eat, then just mount the seats to the floor mounts.

So after installing it, not liking the seating position, uninstalling it, moving the seating position to the lowest setting, reinstalling, still not liking the position but getting closer, uninstalling, then finally setting it to the lowest rear and middle front setting, and reinstalling.... IM IN HEAVEN. Its incredible.


Ill take pics of the seat and post them up in the AM, I'm now going to bed.

Looks fantastic!
What about the updates?

[RCSummers]

So..... Yeah..... Updates....





I picked my car up today.

This is the only picture I have.



I need to make a piece to cover the motion sensor hole, and reconfigure my rear seat delete to cover where the rear side bolsters should be.
