I have seen more then enough hondas with one racing seat and hte rest all stock. I think that is about the absolute gayest thing anybody can do.

Agreed. If those guys are doing anything it's AX. No big tracks will allow two different seats.

Eh...aftermarket seats for the Supra are only a few pounds lighter. The power driver seat weighs 80+ lbs and I dont have enough friends to ride shotgun often enough to get a new seat or harness for that side

It probably looks gay though, I wont argue with that. I'm guessing you guys think if you dont have the money to do both seats its not worth it? I wont argue with that

I would be willing to bet the most racing they see is on the street and only have the seat because they think it looks cool, so if they sit in the cool seat, it makes them cooler there car probably cant even pull enough g's in any directions to need a seet that holds you in better.

If you own an import and want JDM anything here is your mecca!!!
http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php...=jdm++junkyard

Seriously if you cant find what you want (used of course but at ridiculously low prices) here, they dont make it. People like me nut on themselves when they see the potential in that store.


Here is the proper link to the store's webiste (japanese of course)

Honda really underengineered seats. Civics need racing seats for when VTEC kicks in yo.

nice......umm why don't any of u guys stop being pussies and go to a REAL AUTOMOTIVE STORE like automotive engineering in clearwater???? hmmm no i don't think of that it's not like they have a nice set up and products on the wall.....nooooo i wanna go to autozone to buy my "nawz" and vtec stickers DUH!


go to a real store and then i wanna see you guys bitch about anything........they might not have a free test track but of course we're not japan we don't get free medical, or anything (well unless we're poor and on welfare) but i'm sorry i'm a middleclass 19 year old (just turned 19 yesterday) caucasian who still lives at home and makes 12grand a year, so things are different between governments our government are cheap asses who just wanna pay for the poor to be poor. Nooo but i'm an american BLAH BLAH BLAH anyhow i went off topic kinda but think for a second we do have stores like that in tampa, they just don't have free test tracks.
