Just About to Strip ;)

Me and my mate are just about to strip the back bench out, fit two Buckets and Harnesses, any help or things to watch for?


Thanks Stu

Read the instructions on how to fit the harnesses, properly.

Rear bench is now out - bolts were a little rusty haha!



Now on with taking the front seats out, not an easy task at all, the two bolts near the centre of the car are a right biatch to get loose...

Rear bolts are a b**ch, you were lucky lol

I cant help but just wanted to ask what seats you have gone for?

Ive got Futura Birmarcos mate, after seeing Lukes at that meet i made my mind up, and 3 point Sabelt harnesses

 

[stuart1989]

Anyone know what i do with these wires that go to the standard seats, just leave them unplugged under the bucket seat?



Found the answer to that one here - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=507739

In every way mate yeah, you sit alot lower so it has a more 'go-kart' feel to it, in the corners you dont feel disconnected to the steering wheel or just clinging on.
The harnesses are going to take abit of getting used to but they defo hold you in place alot better
Must have shifted abit of fat, as the seats weigh nothing compared to the normal ones and also no back bench - maybe gained about 5bhp/ton?

I await pictures!!
