my new racing seats, what do you think? Options

[tufy]

last week i installed my new racing seats. i should say thay its very difficult to install them because they dont fit to stock screw holes. and they are higher then stock seats. i need time to get use to them. but they look amazing.
any one have ideas what can i do more to my interior?

Those look good, tufy. Nice cage as well, btw. Maybe you could have a bracket fabricated that would lower the seat position if they're too high for you. I've seen it done, but you'll lose adjustment in a lot of cases.

Tufy, i hade the same problem as you, myne seats where to high.

After some thinking i made custom brackets. i used 2 old Camry seats, from them i removed the sliders, and fixed them to my racing seats as close as posible (to avoid the big height). After that made a custom L shape brackets, and mounted them to the stock seat mounting points. After that i puted my racing seat with sliders on those L shape brackets, and welded the sliders onto thoses L shapes. As for the rear, i made a simple square bar that goes between the rear mounting holes and layed it on the flor, made two mounting brackets for it, and screwed it to the points where the stock seats go. After that i puted my seat with already welded L shapes for the front, adjusted the position of the seat, and welded the rear of the brackets to that bar. So now, there are no clearence of the flor and seat in the rear, but my seats sit low. But for the rear passengers there are no room for the legs...

And by the way, thoses seats looks awesome

P.S. i just rear what i wrote..... Holy ****..... how can some one understand what im trying to say.... jesus... i hope you understand guys...

Great seats tufy.

Now you should do something for the rear. Can you put rear seats or its difficult due to cage. I may be able to find stock one (not GT4) for a low price but i should warn you that they will require some foam cutting to fit as due to the GT4 rear axle, the whole rear body is completely different.

If you dont want to put seats, i would suggest you make a custom fiberglass box to cover the body and fabricate a subwoofer or something inside.
