Finally got pics of my recent mods on my car. Here's how it went:
Mugen pedals -
They were fairly easy to install and as expected the gas was a pain to break off errr I meant take off. The second hardest thing was getting the gas to line up correctly so that I could get it on tightly without having to drill holes into my gas pedal. After driving the car around a bit, the pedals are a BIG improvement over stock. The brake and clutch pedals grip a lot better and the gas is a lot larger than stock. Altough it's not exactly worth the money, I'd say that if you have the money, they are very nice to have.

JDM Recaro-
I had to assemble the seat myself since it was brand new but it was a pretty easy job to do. Nothing too difficult or long. The hardest part was finding where the stock seatbelt bolted in I was tired and didn't notice that it bolted in the rails rather the seats. What a waste of phone calls and a hour of my time. After that the install was straight foward and everything went in well. The seat was smaller than expected but I think that is because I wasn't used to how well the seat wrapped itself around me at the time. I'm used to it now and its very comfortable. I'm still not used to the fact that it is higher up than the stock seat. Now I wish I would have bought 2 because it is so much better than the stock seat.

seats = :DROOL:

 

I like, I like....the pix! and you didnt know how to take off the seatbelt bolt j/p

So you telling me those are Brand New JDM Recaros? isnt it like 3-4k for new ones?

 

I'm telling you that I didn't know where the seatbelt went into on the JDM recaro. And I only got ONE because I'm selfish.

 

nice stuff

hey, what is that thing on your turn signal... is that like a JDM auto safety charm?

Lemme know, I just got a new one from JDM land 3 weeks ago

-Aoib0t, who has JDM land withdrawl, but is excited to do other chitl

 

l00ks g00t Dennis
now get a cage and come play w/ us at TCRA

 

JDM recaro's = not made for fat people

 

JDM auto safety charm? In a way...my dad is buddhist and it's a protection of charm of some sorts. Rollcage Yoshi? Heheh...I hope so someday.

 

NIce Still you should have gotten a matching set!

 

hey the car looks nice. but ditch the clear corner's. in my opinion there gay. and let the flaming begin.

 

SUCK IT. I seriously think that amber doesn't look good on the black Rs. Only the PY ones.

 

nice D

 

lol, ok ok. they dont look near as bad as they do on PY. ill give you that. i think the gayest looking R's out that people think are cool because they are "JDM" is a PY R. with white rims. that is retarded looking. i know it has nothing to do with this post, but i thought i would share.

 

Look very good!

 

becareful bout what you say, you're going to make yoshi cry

 

Looks good!

Where did you get the recaro seat if you don't mind me asking?

 

Since everyone is asking
I got the JDM recaro from Ben(Saga) on the board. The mugen pedals from Leo(ITRinEJ1)

 

and how much did you pay for the recaro's?

 

wow thats nice, loving the oem kit

 

How much higher is the recaro than stock seats? I always thought racing seat, sparco anyhow, sat a bit lower than stock. Im asking this because I wouldnt mind being a bit lower in my car, as im about 6 1 or more.

 

foooo sheeezzzy

 

You should have asked me about the seatbelt hahaha

Glad you are happy with the seat. Congrat.

 

I don't know the exact height but it's a bit higher. If you want it to be lower you can get different rails. I think Vision makes rails that lowers the seat a lot. Thanks for all the compliments guys.

 

Seat looks great. Is it just the picture or does it really dwarf the stock seat that much? I personally have never seen a JDM Recaro up close before.

 

I would say something *if* I still had white wheels
