Recaro 1, Danielles Nails -1

[33gtst]

Hey

Just bought myself a very comfy recaro however as im a super short ass and cant reach the clutch unless its nearly all the way to the front I have found after 3 hours I have already broken 1 nail trying to undo the seat belt from the damn buckle as it sits wayyyy to low for a girl to reach under and press, and as im having to press with my nail not my finger 1 nail has suffered massive carnage and well although I like to be comfy my nails come in a set of 10 not 9 or even 8. haha

Just wondering what buckles ppl are using or if im the only spazz to encounter this issue?

[GTR-N1]

3 hours Danielle??

Can't you break more in that amount of time??

Terry yes, sad but true although out of the 3 hours due to the pain in the ass spot of the buckle I reduced usage of it to twice, that and I was driving a distance so stop 1 servo, stop 2 destination.....with broken nail, sore thumb and the set of 10 no longer.

So...really after only 2 uses..the farker is winning!

I'm sure given time, more could be destroyed in my quest for a comfy ass, but I'm currently seeking an easier option as the 2.5 month growth period to re-join the group is a looooong time

in all seriousness tho..god forbid if I have to get out of this seat belt n a hurry, cause well really I just cant

Dont know wether its still an option but years ago my short arse aunt had a similar prob. They fixed it with "pedal blocks" Basically just pedal extensions to enable her to reach the pedal without her chest being caved in on the steering wheel.

Fine line thank you for the thought, this would be a fantastic idea if I had clearance issues with the steering wheel. However although Im a short ass the steering wheel and my proximity are all ok, its only this belt buckle location that causing the issues for the nails.

That's just not good enough Danielle if you get car-jacked! The jerk will just lose patience with you!

Then you ask him what his mother's name is?

And if he says, "Why? My Mom's name is Gabrielle WTF"

Then you say, "Well you can't shoot me then, 'cause my name's Gabrielle too!"

You can talk your way out of anything can't you?

...except for a family of spiders of course

Solution that you can PATENT !!!

FALSE FINGER NAILS MADE OUT OF "BLACK BOX" MATERIAL. lol

[dori34]

want to swap seats danielle?

[33gtst]

dori32 after discussions with my ass the comfort factor prevails and swapping is simply not an option.

Terry sadly I'm not into fake items on my person and my remaining real nails would object to such.

[33gtst]

Crisis averted.....

I have established the fault lies not within nails too long, but within the buckle type used. Previous to now my ass liked the 32 gtr seat I was using, but after upgrading to the recaro the gtr buckle is deemed useless by the nails.

[DJMGTR]

Maybe you could use a buckle off different seats.

when my brother put my 32 gtr seats in his 32 gtst, he used his gts-t buckles, which seemed much longer than the gtr ones, and stuck out quite a lot.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

id consider myself a short ass too, but more cause i like my seating position high and close and not laid back. I have problems getting out of my gtr seats cause its so close to the steering wheel i sometimes roll out of the door in a fetal position. i have now reverted to kicking the seat back everytime i get out...one more thing to think about but its working so far.

I have no issues with the seatbelt though, maybe cause im using the compliance set for the gtst that is quite longer than the stocker gtr jap ones. on a note my compliance seatbelt buckles were too big to clip into the gtr jap ones so best to check if they can clip in before swapping anything.
