Yes, just one Recaro. There's no way I'm spending another $1,000 on my passengers.

That's a good looking wheel

The seat will look sick in there too.

Spring can't come soon enough lol.

If you want to buy me another Jersey Red PP, then sure.

Otherwise I'll just find a stock red seat for the time being.

Thanks man!

You're telling me, haha. I want to drive top down so bad right now, but my GSR is holding me off so far with the fun factor.

Perfect time to do some vacuuming and getting rid of dust that you normally can't reach.

Well, well, well. This is an update I've been waiting for quite some time now.

Let's do this.

The moment I've been waiting for, I finally have a Recaro Pole Position in my posetion and the best part is it's in Jersey Red! Huge shoutout to azncandyman on here for dealing with me to get this seat to me. He took the time to buy a box and run around town to get the best possible quote for me. I also bought a Buddy Club rail to go with it, and I should have the seat belt extender ariving in the mail soon. But anyways, less talking more Recaro...





I paired it with a Buddy Club rail. Don't mind the seat belt receptacle, I moved it once it was in the car and have a seat belt extender on the way.



Bam!





I honestly could not be happier, I love the seating position and how I now sit substantially lower in the car.

No I don't have a passenger seat nor do I plan on getting one as I simply cannot afford spending another $1100 on a seat for an occasional passenger to use. As much as I wish they would match, I'll simply have to live with it.

Looks good! I love red seats

too bad clazio doesn't make an all red seat cover for the passenger side

For your BC rails did you reinforce the welds? Also I think Alan still has some extra beefier 1 piece side brackets vs the 2 piece BC ones

Thanks Afzan!

I didn't reinforce the welds, I really wanted to get the seat in the car so that was my main priority. I'll see how things go, hopefully my fat ass won't break anything but I feel like it's inevitable.

Good call on the seat covers! Last time I was on their website I swore you could order covers that were all one colour.
