Teaser shots of the new seats.
Attachment 14418 Attachment 14419 This picture shows the head clearance, not too much! Attachment 14420 I need to do some fine tuning to get them to sit right. For now only the driver's seat is in. Plus for some reason the outside rail (closest to the door) isn't locking in place in any position but all the way back (conveniently where it's the position I sit in). I think in the spring I'll pull the seats out, do some trimming and then weld the rails in place. |
nice keep it going
|
So after driving into work and smacking my head off the roof a dozen or so times, I hate how the seat sits. I feel like I'm driving a jeep again and not a sports coupe.
I'm going to pick up some flat stock today and make my own low profile rails. Seats won't be able to slide but who cares. I plan to delete the back seat anyhow and I'm the only person who drives the car so... |
man i know hpw you feel before i bought the seat brackets that bolt up to my slider and then to the floor for my racing seats i had them scrwed into the floor with some washers to level them out and i sat so highin the car and even though the car was very low i felt like i was ten feet in the air and my head was so close to the roof. I'm glad i fixed that problem.
|
how much you get your coilovers for???and if you still have the origonal gsR cluster i'll buy it :D
|
Coils were $950 from --------. I will not be selling the cluster, sorry.

Seats are all finalized, heaters are hooked up, etc.
I love them but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them. I would have to cut some of the seat frame to have them sit correctly in the car and I'm not sure if I want to butcher them that much. Anyhow, here's some pictars. Attachment 14374 Attachment 14375 Attachment 14376 Attachment 14377 Attachment 14378 Here's the switches for the heaters, nice and low key, I wish they weren't all red but what can you do. Attachment 14379 |
I see overspray on the rear window or is that just a reflection ?
|
Yea, been there since I bought the car. Never tried to remove it cause I'm not sure how.
|
ultra fine steal woool.. or a brand new fresh razor blade that'll do the trick..seats look good.. i'm thinkin of jus stuffin my seats wit the ass warmers...dunno yet..
|
Too bad your head hits the roof with the leathers they look good in the car.
|
I'm gonna talk with some buddies of mine who do welding and see if they will help me chop some out.
|
i wouldnt mind getting rsx seats in my da either how much will you set it up for :D the brackets and such since im a small guy head clearance wont be a problem :) i need those ass warmers.....
|
Actually, they will be an issue even if your short. A co-worker sat in them and thought they were high and he's like 5'10 tops.
I'm actually talking with Aaron Weir about helping me fix them, that way I know the work will be quality. |

Thusee picked up a 93 GS-R for parts and I grabbed a bunch of stuff from him. Complete lower dash, mirrors, rear panel inserts, steering column trim, rear hubs, motor mounts, climate control and the rear filler panel.
First, the motor mounts. I found out one of my mounts is gone so I needed new ones and the mounts out of the GS-R were in good shape. I also wanted a stiffer mount to bought so after searching the net, I made my own filled mounts. The new/used mounts, still in good condition (rear mount not pictured) Attachment 14323 The mounts after being filled. Attachment 14324 I should hopefully get them in shortly and be able to give some impressions. Next thing is I finally got my S2000 cluster mounted up nicely. I was thinking for ages on how to solidly mount the thing and came up with nothing. Finally it me the other week, pipe strapping. It's strong and easily flexable to bend into the shape I need for mounts. So I bought some and mounted the cluster up for the last time. Attachment 14325 Attachment 14326 Attachment 14327 The cluster sits perfect now. The first upper mount I made leaned the cluster too far forward making it impossible to read so I had to redo it. All I need now is some carbon fiber to trim it all out. Attachment 14328 Last little update is this, I've always wanted a steering column gauge pod. I'm not a fan of a piller pods. No, it's no where near done. Going to mold it into the cover with some fiberglass and bondo so it will be one piece. Attachment 14329 Attachment 14330 It does block the temp and gas gauges but that's not a big deal. Temp gauge has a warning buzzer (built into the Modifry unit) and besides all I have to do is tilt my head a tiny bit to see it. Here's an over all picture of the interior. Attachment 14331 |
nice
what did you use to fill the mounts with? will it work on my ls mounts that i have in my rs right now? |
I used PL Premium, it's a construction adhesive. It will be pretty much solid when hardened.
3M Window Weld is another option. It will work on any mount but it takes time to dry. Mine have set for 24hrs and they are not dry yet. |
mine are filled with urathane at first i thought i was wasting my time but after it hardend you can actually feel the difference especially the engine vibratin in the steering wheel.

car is coming along amazingly man! great work
|
Wow man, thats some good work! Props for doing everything yourself, thats more then 98 percent of the people driving around with modded cars.
|
Great work! looks like its coming along well I gotta check it out in person one day soon
|
Nice work. I'm not really a fan of the gauge pod around the steering wheel. You should think about getting a custom cover for the cluster in CF or something just to cover up the open sides etc. Coming along well though
|
Cover for the cluster is coming, give me time lol
|
Recovered my head liner. Will be installing it tomorrow.

Damn black and white checkers!! All black would have been nice but to each his own. Any particular reason why you chose this design? Just wondering.
|
if he rolls it he can play a game of checkers while waiting for the EMT
|
never seen this b4
|
all the power to you for doing all the custom stuff on your own, but all of it put together looks really tacky!
s2 cluster looks dope, been waiting on pics of the trim filler you come up for it! |
not feeling the rooflining myself but i have to say nice progress!
|
Why?
|
pics of the headliner! looks sick man!
|
batty warmers are always nice.

what kind of glue did you use for the roof liner?
|
use the 3M spray glue from Crappy Tire. Works like a charm, dont go for the Elmer spray glue. 3M worked perfect for our vellour (sp?) headliner.
