Fixed back seats into a V7 STI


J CHILN

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a set of fixed back bucket seats before i hit the track. I am a bit to small to fill out the STI seats. 

 

Does anyone know what happens with the airbag sensor? I know if I unplug it it'll throw the light on the dash. Is there anyway to get past this ? 

 

TIA

Dude there is a cheaper option than fixed back buckies...eat lots of pies.

But then I'll have to upgrade my wheelchair cause I won't fit that either hahaha it's a catch 22 but I'll decide whether the pies or seats are best by the end of this discussion :P

there are no airbags in the v7/8/9 sti seats so nothing to worry there

 I thought they had the plug underneath the seat that if you unplug it throws the light on the dash?

 

if they don't then that is amazing and I am a noob ha ha

That's the pre tensioner for the Seatbelt Stalk

 

who's purpose is to fire a small charge to pull the seatbelt tight in the event of an accident

 

which you may run into issues with belts.... actually working as in keeping you in the seat depending on the style of seat or remaining legal maybe?

Ahh right! I am looking at the Race tech RT1000 seats as they are bang for buck but still FIA and comfy for road trips if wanted.

 

They do have a mount for the standard seat belt however I am unsure if they will bolt straight to the standard rails with the side mounts or not. Might have to make a small bracket.

Good choice..One of these is on my wish/want list..

 

I sat in them at the shop the other day and they are really nice! everyone is on the Bride buzz but I would rather support a NZ company.

 

I am a bit worried about mounting them though. hoping I can get away with mounting them on stock rails

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
