SARD Racing Japan Seat Covers:
As promised, I ordered the SARD Racing Japan seat covers from Nigel-JDMParts and told you guys I'd be the guinea pig and try them out without finding any additional info online. But I finally received and found the time to install them along with photos and some impressions of the SARD Racing Japan seat covers. A few quick things about the covers: - They come in 3 colors: 1. Black with red stitching (the ones I got) 2. All red 3. Black with blue inserts. - They are made of PVC Leather, which is reflected in the prices. - They cover both the front and rear seats - Special stitching for areas around air bag deployment so they are safe for stock seat airbags - They go over the existing seats and covers. No removal of stock seat fabric at all. So firstly I received them in a fairly large SARD box. They came with the following pieces for a total of 9 pieces + instruction booklet + hooks. 2x headrest 2x front seat reclining section 2x front seat bottom section 2x rear seat bottom section 1x rear seat back. From first impressions the leather feels very strong and durable. The stitching is of good quality and there is also a tiny bit of additional cushioning behind the covers which aid to conform and add comfort when sitting in them. First, I tackled the driver seat. The front seats compose of 3 pieces each. The headrest wraps around very easily and conforms nicely. The upper section of the seat goes over top like a poncho and zips up. They have cuts for the seat belt holders to slide through. I had troubles trying to get the back area of the bolsters to conform well and flatten out, but I got it best I could and over time it stretched out and the wrinkles disappeared. The last piece is the bottom and is pulled through between the crack and the edges of it are "hidden" under the plastic parts wrapped around the base of the seat. I decided to shoot some pics of stock vs covered: In this photo you can see the wrinkling in the bolsters a bit immediately after install. They have since flattened down after conforming and sitting in them as you can see in pictures further down: Headrest: Bottom: Close up of the stitching: Both seats installed: Next up I installed the back. This took quite a bit of time and tackling to get them in really good. Mostly because I can't read Japanese. Now that I know how to install them, I bet I could do them in a jiffy, but the combination of a language barrier and minimal room in the back made for a lot of 4 letter cussing. The two bottom parts are pretty easy to install. It involves removing the bolt right in the front and a pulling/downward motion and sweeping up to remove them. The seat covers for these areas simply had 3 backpack style adjustment straps to pull them tight around the seat. Then it had a drawstring that wrapped all around the edge that you pulled tight and tied around. Then reinstall the seat (this part was a bit tricky too) The backing was the biggest pain. I placed the covers over top first and tried to zip them up and tuck the front piece that goes between and under to the trunk area after and no matter how much I tugged and pulled it wouldn't clip in. In the end, I had to take the entire cover off, hook that part off first, then reposition the cover and zip it back down. Finally after getting that in, I was able to zip it down and it sat flat against the back. The cover in the back sits really flat and nice. In the photos you can see the bottoms they seem to be a bit wrinklier, but it's also because no one sits back there and flattens it out for me. I rarely have more than 2 people in the vehicle, so it didn't have time to set as well as the front seats. Also I could have tied the drawstrings a lot tighter than I did, but felt it wasn't worth it for now since no one sat back there. The side bolster wrinkles have flattened out quite a bit in a week: Final impressions/conclusions: I really like the stock seats in the FR-S and wasn't interested in changing them out. I only wanted them to feel a bit better and the stock fabric's thinness was starting to worry me and I could tell areas were starting to fade or "flatten down" due to getting in and out a certain way or rubbing up against certain areas so I opted for these covers. Overall, I'm very impressed with how well they fit. Many people mentioned that they didn't even realize they were seat covers and thought I had changed out the seats. Another thing I wanted to make clear was that people were worried PVC leather or vinyl leather results in a slippery surface and sliding around in hard cornering, but this isn't the case. I took this car out to autocross and it feels like it's the perfect "stickiness" not all grippy like genuine leather on a hot day, but not slippery like cheaper leather seats. Just right. There are a few cons of course with seat covers. There are certain areas which couldn't conform quite as well so there are small wrinkles in the bottom piece, the bolsters and the rear buckets. Over time several of them disappeared, but I think the ones that remain are here to stay. Another con is although the stitching is very strong, there were some loose threads or inconsistent stitching on some less noticeable areas. Another issue I have is that when I let passengers sit in the back (rarer occurance) and untie the seat belt holder, It is quite a pain to find the button to reclip it back in as the leather moves a bit when they are unhooked. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend these for anyone who really likes the stock seats but wants to upgrade the feel of the interior and grip/comfortability of the seats. It entirely changed how I felt about the interior of the cheaper FR-S and I have received continuous compliments on them by passengers and other owners. Also, I am a huge fan of SARD and their close ties with Toyota which really gives me the feeling they belong in the car. Last edited by CrazyWookiee; 05-31-2013 at 05:38 PM. |

Hmm...I'm not sure. It's the only exhaust modification I have. I'm running stock header, over-pipe and downpipe. Could you be more specific? Different from other N1's for other cars, or other N1's on FR-S/BRZ. And in what ways is it different?

Sounds pretty close to the one we had on our BRZ. It might be the camera/mic, angle, in a garage(enclosed space) etc.. that can change the note of the exhaust on a video.
[ame="http://youtu.be/CVeYpokfVI8"]http://youtu.be/CVeYpokfVI8[/ame] CrazyWookiee, your car is looking great! Loving everything that you have done to it. Keep us updated Loving the "But this single one is special. This one is White. This one is a 6 Speed. This is one of the first. And this one is mine." And it's true, even though I see a few FR-S's and BRZ's running around, mine feels special because it is mine. But I am super happy to see them, in fact part of the reason I bought my own was to show Subaru/Toyota and other manufacturers for that reason that WE DO want these type of cars! Could not be happier with my decision. Thanks, Rick |

Yeah, that was me! The seats are great. Most of the wrinkles have ironed out and they are still extremely comfy.

There's no other way to go besides white and 6 speed :happy0180:
I knew from the beginning if I got the FR-S it HAD to be white and 6 speed. Tuned in for moar!
