As we have finally started having good weather on weekends I made a start on getting my car ready for the Recaros.
Started by removing the drivers seat and stripping out the satnav system from underneath. Tidied all cabling (nav and airbag) away into the sill trims and wrapped with proper fleece cable tape. Took photos of all the cabling for future reference but wont put that in here as it's not very exciting.
Removed the passenger seat and did the same job of tidying away all the airbag wiring. Seats were easy to remove as I'd covered the studs in copper grease a couple of years back so that was nice.
Next up was cutting away the heater ducts to allow the Jon Foz frames to fit properly. Have to pull the carpet up and it's a little fiddly but a sharp stanley cut through it easy. Did the same on both sides.
Weirdly the cross member under the carpet has been painted at some point. No idea why! Dont think anyone has been here before me other than the factory.
Anyway, cleaned all the carpets using autogylm interior shampoo and a scrubbing brush then vacced everywhere.
Fitted 4 brand new seat spacers as the seats will lean when in place. Part numbers for reference.
Unfortunately the underseat sub no longer fits with the Jon Foz frames and theres no room above these because of the sliders on the seat. Means I have to move it and the best option is just in the rear footwell as noone will be sitting in the back anyway!
Got it central and drilled through to secure it with self tappers again. Wrapped all the cable in fabric tape and then cut the carpet to run it away neatly.
Happy with that! Next up is removing all the top dash to get at the wiring as I need some extra length now the subwoofer is further back. Seats should be in tomorrow all being well but being methodical with it all so I dont miss anything out!
