Mike, I don't have any arms? AHHHH How the hell did I just type this!!! LOL Actually, I have my arms crossed and so they don't show up very well in the picture. Funny thing is though, I had someone PM me telling me they were just blown away that a guy with no arms was this devoted to the forum... He shortly thereafter figured out from another picture Valky had that they were just crossed.

That is what I assumed.... but you know what happens when you assume....

I like the idea of the racing seat(s)... but that would be one of the last things I would do on mine... the lighter wheels would be a BIGGER help...

As someone has raised the issue.
I always thought that the two ladies were either pulling your pants off, or helping an invalid put them on. One sounds like much more fun than the other.

The seats are hard enough to get into now and with that lip you might have difficulty getting out, especially us old farts.

Ha you guys are funny. Well here are some pictures of the brackets and mounts. Tom your question about getting in. My car is sitting up on jack stands and it not hard to get in. Its going to be much easier to get in when the car is off the jack stands.

you would be after getting the edge of that seat up your rear everytime you tried to slide in....in the hobby stocker I raced yrs ago, the seat was set up for the driver, and mounted in a fixed position. you can really lower yourself if there aren't any adjustment, and besides, it is more sturdy that way....I looked at some ricaro's....but, I'll stay stock for now....

Here are some pictures of where the seat belt buckle plugs into, how the seat belt attaches to the seats, and the current condition of my car. If you guys need any picture of whats under the dash or the center console just ask.

With the R compound tires I find a racing seat a necessity. The stock seats hold you enough with the stock tires but do some cornering mods and you'll need a racing seat too. Not to mention a guy wrecked the last track day we had and without the 6 point, racing seat, window net and roll cage he may have been killed. He got airborne and rolled a few times. It kind of punctuates the need for safety equipment. Seeing it first hand shuffles the mod list a bit.
