R26 Weight watchers

  1. So I removed the rear seat today and was easy as everyone said. Feels quicker and sounds great inside the car.

    So do I need a lateral brace thing for track? Feels fine on road and only occasional track use - is a 2nd car.

    Also thinking about bucket seats but again are these practical on the road - missus commutes one day a week in the Meg. Are the R26 Recaro’s still worth £6-700 as I always read? Would this cover cost of buckets/harnesses/fixtures etc?
    Cheers

    No you don't they don't make a difference but it does look a bit better with one and a net in there

  3. What about the seats? Any recommendation? Also can the harnesses bolt straight into the rear sat holes?
    Cheers

    I have corbeau clubsports i think they are good, not been in many others though, as for the harnesses yes you can bolt them too what would have been the rear seat belt fixings, apart from one, the one is about 4 inches lower than the others, i made a plate up to move it back up.
     
  5. Cool. What base did you get?

    Got any pics bruv? :-)

  7. No that’s perfect. Yep thinking Ktec are the way to go.
    What Corbeau seats are they? Price?
    Are they ok for the fuller figured gentleman...? I’m 36/38 waist :-)
    And did you sell your Trendlines to cover the cost?
    Questions questions

    No the seats i took out are in my workshop, didn't know what they were apart from full leather, what are they worth, what do you think, i have rears as well and in good nick

    Ohh might sell them then, they are never going back in the car now and it will give me some money for fuel for track days :sunglasses:

  13. There's a guy (Alex?) on YT who shows you how to fit harnesses. i think his channel is something like performanceone. He's doen some good R26 vids but is currently distracted by modifying a Supra
