being a pretty good fabricator, i often see cages/harness bars in "drift cars" that i just shake my head at, thinking if a rollover or impact ever occued, it wouldn't hold and most likely they'd die. i also love people who run cages without padding on a street car.

But then again I was driving when s13s were still new in showrooms.

They really look great. Zeta is the only thing I'm keeping from the Zenki.

I used to HATE red seats but I'm really starting to like them, especially in black cars.

Any one after a Yashio gauge? PM me.

I especially love seeing the2" long gussets these guys put into cars...I wish we could do that (we end up welding the bars to the pillars, as that's what 'fitment' is all about haha)

Yep. lol.

It doesn't work super well though. I've been considering having mine professionally cleaned for a while now, but it just hasn't happened.

I've been reluctant to pull the covers off of my zeta II because i have a sneaking suspicion that they will never go back on right. They are probably do for a wash.

has anyone actually done this?

I had the entire covers off of both of my Zeros seats.
They went back on fine, as far as I could tell.

My friend has one of those deep steam fabric cleaners with some special head so I'm good to go whenever I want to have my stuff cleaned.

Yeah they come off (I've never tried it for myself). I did read an article about how to clean your seats in a Drift Heaven magazine and they took the fabric off of the seat, washed it in some solutions, and hung it to dry.

I washed my seat covers in the washing machine with that dark fabric detergent and hang dried them.

Use woolite. Its a delicate care laundry detergent. Cleaned some spots off my bride cushions and came out like new. I've been holding off on pulling my covers off to clean as well. I would personally just hand wash it and let it dry, I wouldn't risk putting it in the dryer either.

Pulled mine off my Zeta II, threw it in the washer machine, let it hang dry, it was a little snug getting it back on, but it went on fine.

No, I never washed them.
When I originally got the red Zeros, the shipping guy took the seat cover off for some reason. I don't remember why...

I hardly used the seat. I think it was still very clean when I sold it.
