Bought Myself and Early X-mas Present!

Ok so this year the wife asks me what i wanted, i said either parts for the Ralliart or money towards it, so she said, "well i give you some money so you can get what you want" so i said great! So as you can see below, new seats and coilovers were on the list this year!

Thanks! Yes you can get the seats on E-Bay but i got them locally from a very reputable speed shop who i trust, he highly recomeded these for anyone looking for recaro knock offs, they are very comfortable and very supportive, if you look on e-bay do a search on "Ronin seats" and you'll see a listing for cloth or synthetic leather, i took the synthetic leather option, was only $50 more so they were $450.00 Canadian for the set, not a bad deal.

you paid a lot for fake leather on fake recaro you probably could have got real leather and real recaro from somebody on here selling them had you waited a little

some of the item in my list of mods are not on the car yet, i have some tweaking to do before the final install, and no i wont be running stock pipes.


as for the seats............What ever, real recaros are in the upwards of $1000 each if not more and besides real leather tend to wear and crack over time, these will not.....so say what you want but i'm happy with my purchase and i don't need a name brand on my seats to prove a point.

well i'm sure that person wouldn't want to go from nice seats to crappy cloath seats, but just the same they were a gift and they work really well.

Nice steering wheel BLK... Once you get that in there you will never go back to that stock grandma wheel.

Downpipe was my christmas present for myself...... maybe some other stuff too....
