if i get bride/recaro recliners do they also go forward, this is imperitive in a 2 door. Otherwise i will get secopnd hand GTR seats.

do you have alot of cash :P as a racing seat is going to cost you abit ;) 1k maybe more depends where u buy from and if u get rails or not

realistically its the rails that make the seats go forward or not... if you get bride or recaro rails suited for your car then it will go forward or otherwise you can get a custom ones made from your original rails... either way it should go forward and back...

they are expensive, but they are damn nice seats. Hug really well. If you were still looking at getting bride seats knowing the price (luckily mine came with 2 brix) I would go for the Brix II :P

A cheap option is OBX. They come in pairs and are half the price of a single Bride. The OBX Monaco Sports is very hugging.

im a bit of a stuck up prick and only like buying the best brands, its kinda my downfall lol

lol... well they are very good seats (the bride brix that is). If you have the money to spend...get them ;)

Nengun have the Bride Brix II Entry for just over $1100 delivered and the Bride Brix II for just over $1200 delivered. :D

That is per seat...the rails are extra. About $300 delivered per rail

per seat, are you sure, ive seen like that for 2

are you sure? if you are let me know where coz I will replace my Brix I's for Brix II's :O

Everywhere I have seen it's per seat. You will find the same for Sparco and the other top brands...per seat. For 2 front seats and a pair of seat rails you would be looking at close to $3K

www.modyourcar.com.au also have Bride Brix II for over $1K. They mention when they are sold as a pair as per OBX...doesn't mention pair for Bride.

You can buy decent brix second hand for $800 each or less. Have seen them for as little as $300 if they badly need a retrim. Rails from around $150 each.

Look around, you may even get luck if you find some in a wrecking yard and they dont know what they are worth (mate picked one up for 4250 with rail in perfect condition - no they dont have any more :P)

Another option, C-Red are selling some very sexy looking East Bear seats brand new at good prices http://www.silviawa.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14408

Hey Steve, do you know of any good trimmers in Perth? Mine need retrimming as they are faded, and the bolstering is starting to get a little soft. Do you know if they can retrim it like the original with bride written down the seat?

Ta JB

Sorry JB,

I believe the material is almost impossible to get hold of, I have only ever seen it sold to suit door trims and glove boxes, never large enough peices to do seats. Even the side/back material is not sold sepeartely AFAIK.

And I dont know of any places to get retrims done in perth sorry, but I am sure there are others on here that will.

Thanks anyway steve...might mean I will have to replace them. Had a patch done when I first bought the car and was very disappointed in the result. The material didn't match properly and neither did the colour...might be able to sell them I guess, or I could get it retrimmed in a standard black material and get Bride embroided on the top. Had a look at those East Bear seats on the link you posted. They look pretty good.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
