guys I am a bit worried about you guys using the child safty seat for an anchor,they are rated for locking in child seats and a child total weight 65lbs.....vs.....adult at around 200lbs.......in an accident the forces and differance in weights is exponential.......check to find out the max load for those anchors.......

I just ordered the Sparco r505 torino seats in black w/grey stitch. I can't wait to get them! One will be coming this month and the other will be here next month. I was low on funds to buy both of them at the same time lol! I'll post a pic up as soon as I get the first seat.

Finally got my seats in...after a few hours or "MacGuyver-ing" with the brackets and the sliders...
...still have to get the passenger side sensors out.
But they are in and feel grrrreat, even for my big-___ frame. (6'2", 260lbs.)

I'm the lucky SOB who bought Cory's seats.
I haven't installed the passenger seat yet. After seeing the damn SRS connection box under it freaked me out so I'm going to wait for a fellow Scionlifer to help me install it. She agreed with the SRS sensor problem so we're going to put on our thinking caps. See if we can do it without airbags blowing out & throwing the sensor on. Same with the Takata; hopefully by then I'll have the money for another.
