Seat


I said in an earlier post that my WRX has on paper, one inch less head room than other model Impreza’s. STI’s have different bucket seats, and wagons are taller. This is the most comfortable stock car that I’ve ever owned, but my seating position does need to be adjusted somewhat when I put a helmet on. It hasn’t been […]

Hella Flush – Plain Ass Seat Edition


5

If you’re looking for a “how-to” get disappointed.  If you have the tools then there is probably nothing I can show you.  Look at my welding getting better though… I think… for like 3″ at least. That’s the whole thing.  I made it out of 10 gauge bar and then boxed it for strength.  I don’t think I’d want to […]

Making Seat Rails

… I put the welder on it. I’m a tall guy.  Stock buckets in an AE86 are impossible for me now that I have decent standards, and any off the shelf seat mount always leaves me saying, “moar lower.” (you know I never say that)  After buying some Recaro LX’s, giving up on them, and now picking up some unknown […]

I Gave Up On Making My Car Nice When…

The hell does that mean really?  I’m tired of being called it.

Fickle



… on me I’ll understand. Things are SLOOOW in the garage.  It’s easy to find motivation for basic wrenching… but fab and welding… I can hardly get anything done in an hour time-slot, and that’s about all that I’ve been able to afford. But what I am working on is primarily getting the new Recaro’s in the car.  That has […]

If You Give Up…

As I mentioned, the headrests on my Recaro’s are wonking.  On one the headrest just flops up and down loosely in the seat back, and on the other one the headrest doesn’t move at all.  I found this pictures on a German forum with no clear description. Just silly though if it’s true. No updates otherwise.  My parts car needs […]
