Seat replacement

(1/3) > >>

Hi all, I have been wanting to replace the seats on my twin cab for a while now as the Namco seats just don't cut the mustard when wanting to play for extended times, as you can imagine the plastic isn't forgiving on my backside.

I bought a pair of Corsa reclinable car seats for my NSX but they didn't give the weight saving I was after so instead of reselling them I put them to good use on the cab. Took about 4 hours this afternoon from start to finish, now I just need to figure out a new speaker solution as the Namcos had speakers in the head rest....

ant2:
like - A nice worthy upgrade there! :)

Yes!! Seat replacement is HIGH on my priority list for my racing cab. Consider yourself lucky! My backside is still suffering.. lol

It's essentially why I decided to build instead of buy btw... considering I'd need a pc wheel, and a flat screen upgrade the only thing I'd actually use on a cab would be the shell, and those plastic seats just don't cut it for me. 

Looks nice man. 

So the speakers... are those the only speakers in the cab or just for surround?  If they are just extra speakers I would probably mount them under the seat.

Speakers are surround only but give a nice effect on some PC games when cars are coming up behind you. I have the audio amps and 8 inch subwoofers in the metal base of the seat which work nicely so I might just add some very small 2 inch speakers to the head rest, ie embed them into the seat and make custom grills.
