    S197 Aftermarket seat install

    I'm sure you can go to TAP plastics or somewhere similar and get some thick plastic sheet and cut it to size. You will need to have the protection and load displacement that the outer skins afford the bladder. Also, go with a better quality seat bracket, like the ones Planted makes. My cage...

    S197 Aftermarket seat install

    Next up we have the passenger seat. This is the one I was worried about more because of the OCS occupancy sensor pad between the seat cushion and frame. Here is the bottom of the passenger seat, showing the harness and associated sensors. The OCS is the one in the center going through...

    S197 Aftermarket seat install

    Although I do not take my 2006 GT to the track (I have a dedicated fox for that) I do enjoy taking spirited drives on my local winding back roads each chance I get. With a sticky tire/suspension combo I quickly realized how inadequate the stock seats are in these cars. As my car is my daily...

    What seats are you running?

    Just got done installing a set of Corbeau A4 wides in my 2006 GT, and swapped over all of the necessary wiring/sensors to retain full functionality. Very supportive seats which retain factory functionality, which I needed as this is my daily driver. My only gripe is that the light grey...

    jacking the car up. yes I searched

    When jacking up the front of my '06 for an oil change I block the rears and jack from the center k member and place stands under the front subframes. When time came to install my pro kit I knew that there would be no way to get the jack under the subframe from the side afterward. I also did...

    Nitto tires: NT05s or NT01s?

    I'm running NT-01's on my 88' GT track car, 315/35-17 square. All I can say is that the grip like hell and wear nicely. I can't claim that it's the ultimate track tire, but I have nothing negative to say about the tires so far.

    Backfire on decel and in neutral/no load

    Reading comprehension, how does it work? I pulled the coils and found that the #1 spark plug had backed out a couple threads. Inspected and reinstalled, problem solved.

    Backfire on decel and in neutral/no load

    Changing front A arm bushings to Whiteline

    Could that inner sleeve not be pressed off of the arm? (assuming you have access to a press). I have the prothane front/rear bushings which are essentially the same design, I'm trying to game plan the install as well.
