Ok, searched and cant really find much.
just looking for someone to give me the low down on how to move the airba sensors and all that crap from the stock seats to aftermarket racing seats.
i just need a general description so i can do it, then ill make a write up with pics for everyone else.
Thanks

 

anyone got any info?

 

ok i ve been doing some research on this all day.
so i need resistors so that the car thinks there are still ppl in the seats and the airbags will still deploy during a collision.

i read somewhere 5ohm resistors. is that correct?
and anyone know exactly where you put them? any pics?

thanks.

 

i think Nick06tc had something when he did the install of his corbeau's... you might want to search for his thread or PM him.

 

Ya i believe it was a 5 ohm resistor that you can pick up at radio shack. You place it in between the two contacts in the air bag sensor. Just make sure it is 5 ohms i dont want to see you deploy your air bag.

 

Here is the install for it, good luck... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...u+seat+install

 

so theoretically the safest setup besides stock would be a cage, racing seats, harnesses (hooked up correctly), and and an aftermarket steering wheel...?

and i dont have back seats anyways so im not worried about ppl hitting there head if theyre sitting in the back.

 

the aftermarket steering wheel is a no on safety... it has no airbag!

 

yea im aware of that.
but if you have harnesses, theres no need for a steering wheel airbag anyways, cuz ur bodys not going anywhere if you know what i mean.

 

well that would be a good safety set up, if you were going to be driving with a helmet on everyday, but i doubt you will, so be careful. and also, if you get pulled over that whole "get up" you have is just asking for tickets..

 

maybe in cali but not here in illinois.

 

ahh i always think other states are strict too.. maybe it's a mind set i have..

 

lol, no def not gonna be wearing a helmet daily.
im aware that what i plan on doing isnt the safest setup but as u can tell im just trying to make it as safe as i possible can for me and my passengers.

and yea, im aware of the tickets to, ive got plenty for my tints already. lol

 

i'd just get bucket seats if i were you, you get to stay in your seat, and you have all the safety options that Toyota has paid lots of money on to make us safe..

 

ive already got a set of sparcos.
just waiting for the damn mounts so i can put them in.
almost 2 months now...

 

oh the brackets and sliders.. did you get reclinable's or non-reclinable seats?

 

im pretty sure theyre reclinable.
theyve already got sliders on them.
they came out of a supra, so i just had to order brackets for the tc.

but i guess the ppl that make brakcets for sparco are raelly backed up. When i called sparco he said hes waiting on about 500 brackets from their manufacturer.

 

hit up wedge engineering.

 

for the seats i got, i don't even think anyone makes them...

 

wish i knew about that earlier. its cheaper and prob wouldve been faster too.
but i already ordered mine, they should be here in a week or two...finally.
