I used a planted seat mount (http://www.plantedtechnology.com/pro...lication-list/) and the standard Status side seat mounts. I drilled wholes up front and used the furthest rear mounting point on the planted set up I could. I still sit pretty far forward, but I am mostly torso so I still don't rub the dash. I tried heel toe shifting earlier ( nothing crazy as I was on a pubic road) and didn't have any issues.

I would say if your log legged, it maybe a good idea to find a fab shop that does mounts and have them make you one that sits further back. I have a road trip tomorrow, and If it becomes an issue that is what I am going to do

I've been out for a while, but TX and Hood are still close to my heart. ('98-2000)

Brake fade who?

Motul brake fluid hasn't showed up yet.

Love the seat. How does it compare to recaros?

Tap'd from my G-Nex

Nice ride OP. 74B Signal Corps when I was in (94-2000). That probably doesnt exist any more.

Thanks man! If your talking about comfort wise, I am the wrong person to ask as my shoulders are to broad for all the Recaros I have sat in. Quality wise, I'd say it's a pretty close, like them more than most Sparcos I've sat in.

It's 25B now, but still around. Thanks for the comment on the car and for your service!

I had to do a doubletake because I thought you had powdercoated the stock wheels at first...they look good

RAWR BRZ · 10-05-2012, 11:31 PM

What wheels are those?

chutrain · 10-06-2012, 12:24 AM

WRX wheels. I think they look great on the car. Lower it a tad and they will look even better on the car.

chaotichoax · 10-06-2012, 01:54 AM

what size spacer are you running on the wrx wheels and also what size tires?

they look good, pretty flush

I thought about powder coating these, but I am a little impatient. Thanks man!

It's on the list after a tune, I am holding out for @Racecomp Engineering to come out with Shocks to go with their springs.
