Yeah if you could mate that would be awesome , just a bit worried that it might wear the bolster fabric quite quickly if it's constantly in contact with the panel?!
with replacing the centre I you can use a sewing machine then u will be fine , if your not that confident and your mate can do it cheap then get them to do it mate , saves the hassle if something goes wrong

I've got a spare base and back from an EK9/Recaro Speed seat you can have for cheaps if you like to practise on. Thinking about it, you may be better off paying to get it done as it's got the plastic slat things at the ends, but it wouldn't be much as there is naf all to it.
Cheers Craig but yeah give it a miss I think, wouldn't know which way up a sewing machine would go!
Got some pics from manifold and fitting of some bits and pieces. Excuse my heat wrapping I'd never done it before. Tone has changed slightly but isn't much louder, does feel like turbo winds up faster though so all good. Heat wrap stinks to!
Old.
New.
Old elbow and front vs new Tomei and front pipe.
Fitted.
Gizzmo to re-fit and finish then will be time to book it in for pump and remap.
Chris I'll grab some Recaro pics for you tomorrow morning as haven't fitted the other one yet!

Nice, I'm liking this build, what brand exhaust bits did you just put on there?
Cheers dude they look really nice in the car!!!
Cheers bud, put on h-dev manifold, Tomei turbo elbow, ths front pipe and de-cat. Twinned up with the Blitz Nur spec that I already on. It seems to spool faster I feel but get some boost creep I think now. Hell of a exhaust note now, pops and bang all over the show!
I'll take some fitment pics of the seats at some point mate! Happy with them, might not even re-trim them... Not sure!

No flames yet? Those recaro's look pretty similar to the ones in a DC2 Integra, and they're pretty comfy and supportive too, I imagine it's quite a nice improvement from the standard pews.
Haven't seen any flames yet, might have to get the GoPro on the bumper!
Yeah the Recaro's are specifically out of an Evo4 but essentially they are the same seat as in a dc2. Super comfy, after having a dc5 and moving to fixed Brides you realise how sweet you have it with the Recaro's!

I like how they look tbh
if I were to re do them I would do them like type r seats with the completely red centre that would look nice!!
yeah I agree the mani /elbow make it sound awesome!but I too suffer a little boost creep now, hopefully fix it once I fit my ebc though .
Cars coming together nicely mate!! Keep at it!
