Exclamation I got SiR seats!

Hey Guys,

Some of you may remember that I was trying to sell some racing seats awhile back...well I sold them and picked up my new seats (the ones I always wanted) and with a little help I was able to put them in, on the weekend. They bolt right in except for one. Its a little bit wobbly but it will be fine after I bolt on an extension piece. There were no problems and all the wiring harness plug right in. I love these seats!!!

Props to Mark (FlippedOut) and my brother for there help!

Here are some pics:

I wedged a little piece of wood that I had laying around into the gap under the bracket to prevent the seat from rocking. Just a short term temporary solution

Thanks MattC1. It was nice meeting you. Good job on the whole transaction. I will comment on your buy & sell rating.

Thanks guys. I was getting gas at Canadian Tire and realized that the Honda Dealership in the background would make a nice photo. I love that pic too.

Iamfob: I dont know whats next yet but maybe a few more interior details.

Thanks guys. I am very happy with them. It was sooo much easier than trying to get aftermarket seats installed. I am glad I purchased these instead.

FlippedOut: I dont know about those rear seats. It looks like its gonna be really tricky to me. We could always try though!

Thanks for the props guys, I got the front and rear seats for $900. I still need to figure out if I am going to put the rear seats in though. Might be a little too tricky and might look awkward.

I thought I was the only one too!

I do find that they sit a little higher but not further forward....but its not that noticeable.

Did you get all 4 bolts down? What did you do?

Any tips on how your install went would be great.

I still have to figure out how to get that one bolt down or i could just take a hammer to the bracket and bend it down.

just left it out..
only thing would be to add a piece welded to the SiR rail..
i tried swapping over rails with the oem but it's a definite no-go..

i'm just gonna leave it as it is..

i find it's definitely two clicks too close (i normally ride the oem's fully back) and with these i'll never be able to wear my Doc's so they'll be coming out for the winter..that's okay tho, saves on the suede

did you get the srs cleared okay??
i just did mine and another guys on the weekend..

oh, i did put the bolt back in, it just cinches the rail down..
rail sits on top of it so it has some support
