Bad Bish and a few quick dyno pulls with new stroker-amazing
The Rear Diff mod is mostly USDM mod only as their rear diff come configured with wrong setup
While JDM EVO(RS,GT) come with 1.5way setup from factory and AYC for GSR version
Interestingly,TRE mod the rear diff to 12 plate setup and they are making HD Side Cover for it
Not sure if JDM EVO can benefit from TRE stuff through

With the seat I found the heaviest part is the actual slider (have 2 * sparco evo3 model in car) so if someone makes a light weight slider it will sell like hotcakes hehe
Oh and Dave is on Haltec cos thats what I got too hehe
A coincidence really but seriously haltec is great plus head office is half hour up the road from me hehe
The seat is part number 71700 I believe, I got the 17" so there was extra room in it. I just gutted the Eclipse this morning and put the seat in there. Now that it's actually in a car I am even more impressed than I was before. I also bought their padding kit and I honestly can't be more impressed with how the padding fits.
IF I decide to put on in the Bad Bish I would powder coat the aluminum to match the interior and run the padding too. I think it would look bad *** in there and knock close to 50 pounds out of the car.
I may just do the seats in the car once these new removable harness bars are done we are making.

22 lbs is pretty good...My NRG carbon fiber seat is 20 lbs with brackets but no slider. Seat is comfortable too, I've had it in the car for 4 yrs and lots of long trips, South Carolina to New Jersey plenty of times...
Just finished the suspension up on the car. I had to swap the front springs.
I also checked my notes. The stock EVO8 front seat is 36.9 pounds. The Kirky with padding and mounts will be about 26 pounds. For a 10 pound saving I'm leaving the EVO9 seats in the car I just put in it. I wish it would stop freaking raining!

They are extremely comfortable tho.
What ur front springs rated at?
Hey Dave you not by any chance interested in competing in the world time attack held this year at sydney I reckon you would stand a great chance in the clubsprint class (ie. road registered class) sierra sierra came last year and they came second overall but in open class tho.
I'm dieing to get the car out and make some videos. I also want to find a parking lot to do some suspension testing. Just a few weeks before I actually need the car!

NO IDEA what I meant by TIME suspension testing! haha I edited it to SOME! haha sheesh, I need to sleep!
olmoscd, right now my thought is the weight savings isn't worth it. When I get the Eclipse back from having the cage put in it and race it I may change my mind. If the seat proves to be as comfortable as it seems and holds me in place I may still change them. I like the stock look though, so we will see.

You must be a member of highboost Ang Wen Yang! haha You are 100% correct about the rear diff being wrong on the US models. I originally set mine up correctly, like it should have been in the first place and then while working on it ended up making it a "12 plate". So it's all OEM components and works like a charm.
The seat isn't in the EVO yet. I bought the floor mounting kit from Kirky for the Eclipse. I've got work to do to the RS today and may get motivated enough to pull the drivers seat out and try the Kirky in it while I am back there. I'd use a seat slider on the seat if I put it in the EVO, for the Eclipse it will be a fixed mount.
