What did you do today to your 3/S?

Those look very similar to my Recaro's, perhaps the newer model out. I like mine a lot as well, I can do a 10 hour trip in them no problem! :)

Trying to find a new route for my A/F gauge Oxygen Sensor thru the firewall or floor to the new bung location on my exhaust.... The two holes in the firewall on either side have too much stuff going throug them already to add this thick cable...... sigh...... Sensor bung used to be on the test pipe but it suggested I move it closer to the engine, so they installed a new bung for me there. I thought I could do the rest myself.
Miss my A/F gauge.... I have to get from the drivers side floor over to the exhaust under the firewall on the passenger side.
If anyone has ideas it would be appreciated. A trip to the wreckers usually helps me get a better view of where things are on my car too LOLOL.
Thanks,

yesteday i took the wife for her first drive in the newly installed seats however!

drove me n the wife down to the city and back to go visit the barnes foundation.

our observations after a few hours in the seats:

me: these seats will be just fine for long drives, no cutting off circulation or butt numbness. great lumbar support, very comfortable yet firm cushioning and they really feel like they secure you without any discomfort. very happy with the change. heavier folks may have some issue with these seats however, at 6' and 185lbs they fit perfectly.

wife: the difference took a little getting used to but after about an hour in the seat she thinks it is an overall improvement. she says compared to the old seats she feels more support and thinks it is easier to get in and out of the car.

so there's our 2c :)

and now for some pics installed!

they feel fantastic. may at some point install roll bar and harnesses, let's see what happens at the track next week.

TRADE ME SEATS! Lol those are very nice, how much did you pay for them? Thinking about putting my leather seats up for sale to get some similar ones.

What did you use for rails? And how's the position compared to stock? Do you sit higher, lower, about the same?

Gave it a much needed bath.

was looking for a set in mint or near mint condition, there were none for a few weeks and then suddenly multiple sets became available in varying conditions.

saw this set and pounced, was willing to spend up to $800 shipped or delivered for a mint/near mint set but got these for $550 shipped to my shop.

if your car isn't blue or another color that you think might work well with the evo 8 seats, i'd recommend looking at the cloth evo x seats.

modified the stock evo 8 rails to work. took fairly extensive modification including cutting and welding both brackets for each seat in order to work with factory mounting locations.

position is nearly identical to stock, seat height is very close and does allow me to wear a helmet for those rare occasions i go to the track. this was part of the reason the brackets took extensive modification, i was going for factory fitment.

at some point i may reinstall my old seats for a side by side comparison and to show the bracket modifications required for the evo 8's. motivation can be hard to come by sometimes however :lo5l: here's a comparison in the meantime:

Buttoned up the rear wiper motor, installed and tested. I finally have a rear working wiper...stealth MOD even.

Now to paint that rear arm and maybe get the flat black under the spoiler painted.

With this complete that makes the active exhaust the only thing not working on my car, and that is only because I don't have the factory cat back.
