I think that style overall is just clean looking, I LOVE Recaro's in that style. I have a carbon Kevlar bucket in my FD and it's just extremely clean and functional.

Bride talk: I loved my Zeta III, but the ZEROS is a ton more comfortable. I don't think you can go wrong with a genuine Bride seat (current model or older ones) though.

Corbeau isn't really that great at making seats. I had them in my Miata and switched to Sparco after 2 months. Uncomfortable and there isn't a name behind them in the JDM scene.

I had Brides in my s14. Haven't tried a Zieg yet but I am absolutely in love with my Recaro Profi SPG. Allows more leg movement and holds just like a zeta 2

I havent sat in a SPG but they look awesome. The SRD reclinables look really good too.

I remember seeing a picture before of a THRASH seat made out of memory foam and microfiber cloth somewhere, but I can't find it.
EDIT: It was the Team Yellow version, ex Sexy Knights FC

i dont think many people would do this as the battery puts out hydrogen gas during use, even if it is a little bit. you'd have to evac it to somewhere and there isn't many places to put it in the passenger foot-well

It is a skinny dry-cell. I think someone, possibly Mr. Brian, posted a picture of Koguchi's or Wakamatsu's old D1 USA 180SX interior and it had the battery mounted on the transmission tunnel. That is the only one I remember. I kind of want to put it behind the stereo, if I figure out a good way.

LOL funny that's how the zeta III felt to me. Add to that the knee bolsters were waaay too fucking high I had to stop driving to scratch my nutz

BTW if you don't like the gradation pattern why do you have the semi gradation fabric all up in your interior?

had to.
I wasnt saying anything about gradation in particular. I mean when bride first started they actually used recaro seat parts. such as bolsters and shit. Fabric is secondary.

Weird, the Zeta 3 feels really nice to me. I used to go work on my laptop in my car in the garage when my back hurt because it was so comfy. I don't mind the knee bolsters. I'm 5'8" 145lbs and everything fits me about perfect. It's a little bit of a pain to get your cellphone out of your pocket but that's the only thing that isn't ideal. Damon's ZEROS was a little weird to me because you slouch so much, but still very comfortable.

I like the Bride logo, but don't dig the gradation pattern. So it's the perfect world. And way better than aids-tweed.
