That seat looks sooo good, great choice.

How would you say the lower back support is compared to the stock seat?

 

Thanks man! While matching seats would've been ideal, I'm more than happy with this.

Thank you!

I haven't actually driven for more than 2 minutes in the car since it's winter here and my car is in storage, but from the just sitting in the seat my lower back feels like it has more support. Since it's a bucket seat the seat is like a "bowl" so it hugs your whole back, where as a reclineable seat is split so it's like an "L" and your lower back won't be supported as much since the seat as to be able to recline.

 

I'm gonna have to stop by a recaro dealer and test sit one of these, so I can convince myself I really do need one lol.

 

Do it! I actually snuck the car out for a drive in my area today (15 minutes or so) and the seat felt amazing. My only niggle now is how far the steering wheel is from me, so I've ordered a Spacro spacer to stick between the hub and quick release.

I'm seriously debating selling these wheels and going for a square set of RPF1's in silver, I've had these wheels for 3 years now and I kind of want a change/something more aggressive since I'm past the point of caring about rolled fenders.

Is it spring yet?

i really like this photo, lol. congrats on the seat, i know you've been looking for one for a while. i love my pole positions, i tell everyone its one of the best mods ive done to my car

 

^^he is talking about me

I want that seat so bad haha

 

We have a similar story! I too came from a integra that I built from the ground up but regret selling. Oh we'll if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have my S! Your car is super clean btw! Hopefully I can make mine as clean.

 

Fernando, sorry this could be a bit irrelevant on this context but is the Recaro Pole Pos comfortable for every day, or long trip driving?
I did 7 hours trip last week on the stock seats and I was VERY comfortable.

Just wondering if you can have the best of the both worlds with Recaro as obviously it is a more track
orientated solution..

Cheers!

 

Thanks man! Yeah so far it's pretty legit!



I love it.

Thanks dude!

It's all about baby steps, it's taken me almost 4 years to get the car to where I envisioned it and I'm still not done. Quality over quantity my friend.

Like I've mentioned in some previous posts, I really haven't had the change to spend more than 15 minutes in this seat since it's winter and my car is in storage. I'll definitely have more feedback once spring is here and I'm driving the car again.


I actually ended up buying a 2" Sparco steering wheel spacer because I felt like the wheel was too far away. After installing it the wheel was WAY too close and the indicator stalks were way too far away, I'll try to sell this one and look for a 1/2" or 1" spacer instead. In the meantime I pulled my seat one notch closer and it seems to feel better.

 

The other thing that blows about the sparco spacer is the horn button doesn't fit right....or at all for that matter. I ended up adding a 10mm works bell spacer which is all I needed to make it all work.

See my epic long hub setup. You get used to the stalks being farther away and its no big deal.
