Racing seat and harness are in!
New racing seat and 5/6 point harness are finally in! Total weight is probably about 5lbs less than the weight of the stock L seat that was in there as the harness isn't exactly fleet of foot. Took me quite a while to figure out how to secure the bracket for the rear. Up front I simply cut open enough of the mounting tunnel that is there to get a wrench in to tighten the nut. Will have pics once I figure out what's wrong with my wife's digital camera. Just sitting in it now makes me feel a little clastrophobic. It definately keeps you in place!
The tranny is totally bolted in and waiting for the rear dif to arrive before she returns to AWD tomorrow evening. I CAN'T WAIT to see what the H&R WRX springs do to the ride height and all. Have only been able to speculate for the past week. I think the front will lower a bit more and the rear should stay about stock but we shall see!

Read grasshopper, read. I said the seat and harness weigh about 5lbs lighter together than an L seat! It is your runn of the mill Summit Poly buggy style race seat. It and the brackets weigh a good bit less than 10lbs. The harness itself is like having a cinderblock on your chest. Good thing I no longer smoke!

What gears are you running this time?
I have more 3.545 rear diffs, without the LSD, than I need.

did you have to make alot of mods to the seat bracket? I was looking at putting in WRX seats with stock brackets, but didnt want to buy anything until I knew if they would fit.
