New seats!

[olympic]

FedEx delivered the seats I bought off ebay. All I can say is WOW! These things hug you like your high school sweetheart..lol! It took about 2 hours to install them because I had to fab up an adapter to fit my stock sliders and brackets to the seats. But it all went together smoothly.

It's a little awkward getting in and and out, but this isn't my daily driver so who cares? If you have a g/f or wife who like to wear skirts, she definitely won't be able to maintain her composure when getting out of these babies!

Man you hit the nail on the head about girls with skirts. If this was a different forum, I would tell a funny story pertaining to my seat and one cute girl I went out with 2 weeks ago.

But those seats look badass in that car man! Olympic, one thing you should do, change the stock steering wheel, and that thing is all set.

Hey, PM me the story!

Gosh, memory foam padding would be the ultimate for a car seat!! How much did those bad boys set you back? Were they a one-off or did you get them from somebody who makes memory foam padded seats as a business?

The memory foam is kind of neat, it feels like play dough or something. Squishy but firm. The ebay seller I got them from still has the auctions running. $319+shipping which is pretty darn good. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&include=0&userid=littlefish_bigbay&sort=3&rows=25&since=-1&rd=1

Where could I get a steering wheel that would retain the horn and cruise functions?

Hehe, my wife has a memory foam pillow and whenever she leaves the room I grab it and start squeezing. It really ****** her off because she has to steal it back from me. It wouldn't be a bad thing if breasts felt like that stuff.

ROFL.

My DD tempo doesnt look like that.

What is the weight difference between those new seats and the stockers ??? Does he offer them in mocca ? I like em.

 

[olympic]

They would be lighter than a SHO seat, I'm sure. But compared to my Topaz seats, they are the same or slightly heavier. The box they came in was listed at 44lbs each by Fedex.

The only colors offered were red, blue and yellow wih the black trim. But if you search around ebay for "racing seats", there are all sorts of colors and styles available.

The seats I ordered and soon to be installed. They come with sliders and weight 20lbs. apiece compared to the stock Sho's 60lbs.

Sorry, couldn't get the pic to load up. They are the black Tenzo R Rally seats. http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/seats/rally/index.html

Not to shoot down anyones thoughts, but from what I have heard about the Tenzo seats, they are realy crappy build quality. The stitching on the sides, doesn't seem to hold up quite that well.

A friend of mine has had the Tenzos for about 6 months in his Civic. No problems yet, besides they're warrantied.
