Nice video. I'm going to be using most of the same parts. The template idea is going to be helpful.

[@jrparker4804]

Great video - Thinking about new seats myself, so thanks!

[@bernierubbersgarage6066]

The seat and steering wheel change had the biggest impact on how the car feels, especially on track!

[@wooten1023]

Those hood vents look sick. How do you like the seat?

[@bernierubbersgarage6066]

Absolutely love the seat. Will talk about it more in a track day episode!

Nice work - thumbs up! Love the idea of a seat with tons of support like that - but I am trying to imagine how challenging that would be to get in and out of of for "everyday" trips? You have had it for 7 months - now - what are your thoughts?

[@bernierubbersgarage6066]

I still love the seat! Yes, it a little bit of a pain especially when you can't swing the door wide open, but removing the steering wheel helps a ton! If you're going to the track, definitely plan on a seat at some point. If you're just staying on the street, then maybe look at an adjustable seat or try to put a fixed-back seat on the factory seat rails.

PPTX Seat Bracket is interesting, I was going to get the AMT motorsport one but this retains OEM seat belt buckle. I might get this seat bracket instead!

[@bernierubbersgarage6066]

It's nice to be able to use the stock seat belt on the street but have the harnesses properly secured for the track.

First. Ever. Comment. How thick is that bottom plate?! 3/16? 1/4?

[@bernierubbersgarage6066]

10ga steel. It is beefy! 🐄

[@michaelmooney9453]

Have driven any long distances with the seat and how comfortable is it?

[@bernierubbersgarage6066]

Longest drive is a little over 1hr and I can't even tell! It's a little harder to rotate your legs with the side bolsters, but any drive 1-2hrs would probably be fine.
