♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I ♥ BRIDE, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Well as some of you might have known from previous posts made, i have 2 Stradia Sports as well as 2 EURO2's on order for the S2000, and they still havent hit port yet (hopefully arriving next week). so me being upset and anxious for them, when i saw a post for a Gias for sale Semi-locally i snatched it. Bought it on Friday, should have arrived Saturday but eventho i paid for overnight FEDEX decided to deliver it on tuesday.
unfortunately Tees-usa (which means everyone else as well since noone stocks em) was out of the LR rails, and my 4 dont come until mid november so instead i bought some aluminum flat stock (1/4") the same aluminum used in the manufacturing of the seat. sheered them into 2" wide and 20.5" and 16.5" pieces, drilled half inch holes similarly to the O.E. holes tig welded the pieces to shape like oem, bought some Standard Bolts/nuts/lock washers and bolted the seats to the Homemade Rails and then bolted the rails in. and Seatbelt Buckle on. (rails were bolted in and seat layed on top while i sat and adjusted the seating position, once right i marked the 4 holes and proceded to drill the seat holes precisely where i sit. So now noone but me can drive the car (im 6'2", so its far back)
I would have much rather bought rails from Bride, given the aluminum and cutting tools, welding misc and etc ran me around 40$ for the one rail. (not including drill/etc.) but this let me put em in ASAP.
***sorry their over exposed, took midday shots... better ones later***
Specs:
Seat Sits 79mm Lower (3.125")
Oem Knob sits around chest Height.
Door Sill around level w/ Chin.
Comparison Specs (Driver Size)
6'2"
175lbs
34" waist
48" shoulders
Seat Fits VERY Snug, Not uncomfortable. Still allows my torso to move about an inch in any direction (for when u need to glance around in blind spots)
Recline Function is Nice, its actually easier to adjust top from the inner knob than the outer considering how the seat fits in the car.
Seat Belt buckle fits nicely on the Gias Side mount hole,
Seat Touches panel behind door very slightly, just enough to allow the seat belt to slide around easily. the Center console has more than enough space (about 1.5" clearance) In and Out of the car is a lil more difficult but worth it considering normally i have lower back pains on the OEM seat but because of the tight grabbing seat holding my weight better rather than the weight solely being placed on my lower back, it makes my back feel great after Driving.
Only Negative Aspects of the seat i would say from my experience is:
---Slightly more difficult to pivot hip to heel toe, (Stradia would allow more movement)
---In and Out takes a few seconds longer
