Hey man thanks a lot for the help. I found some Corbeau seat brackets but I'm afraid that they're for the TC1 and not my car. So yeah the Planted ones make way more sense especially if I can put sliders on there. Definitely gonna happen here soon, I really want those seats. I just need to find out if I can get Clazzio back seat covers by themselves. Gotta have every thing match if you know what I mean.

ya man no problem at all!, order from 425 motorsports if you want i know that they sell them and the service i got from them was amazing. they only deal in seat, brackets and belts and stuff so they are ideal for this!

Very, very nice build. Was blown away with the turbo mod! Wish I could get my hands on one of those kits. *tear. How much power that get you to?

Hey guys I know I haven't been on a lot lately. Had some major life changes these past couple weeks. I ended up moving to a different apartment and doing something new at work. The car has kind of been put on the back burner for now. At least until I can get everything else in my life figured out again.

I'm still planning on buying the seats, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. One of these days I will. Lol

To the guy above me, thanks a lot for the compliment. I've poured my heart and soul into this car. The turbo put me at right around 300 hp. Definitely worth every penny, the extra tourqe has been amazing.

what type of shifting are you doing if your right hand never moves from the steering wheel?

did you order a weighted shift ****? I'm trying to see if TWM will let me add one to my order a weeks after buying the short shifter. You get $25 off a **** when you order it with the shifter.

I like the shift **** that came with the car so I didn't see the need to get a new one.

As for the seats, corbeau a4's in black cloth. I haven't ordered them yet but I will be next week.

ya man, thats awesome, its a relatively easy install, you will probably have a flashing seatbelt warning light and an airbag light. I have not been able to find a resistor to clear up the lights. what are your plans?

I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm sure I'll figure something out. The corbeau seats are supposed to have all the same sensors so hopefully it'll be plug and play but if I have to make a defeater I'll do so.

So I think I did something today that has never been done on our cars before. I combined the TRD quickshifter with the TWM short shifter. Like many who have questioned this I feared that since you are just repositioning the cables on both ends it would feel loose or just not as smooth as it should. After installing the combo and testing it out, I can say that this is BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST MODS YOU CAN DO! The gear shifter barely moves as you go through the gears and each gear is made known by a soft click.
The only thing that is taking me a while to get used to is that the reverse lock out is made of metal now and not plastic. It definitely feels more pronounced now. My only fear is that since it is made of metal it will be unbearable to touch when it is extremely hot or cold.

DO this mod!!! haha

I got the TRD installed when I bought the car. I think it was $150? The TWM i used the pre black friday discount so it only cost $250 for that one. I don't think I could have ever convinced my self to drop that much at once on something I didn't know would work. But the year difference between the two made me want to try it.
