  • Racing Seats

    After an Exhausting Search on How To Put Racing Seats on my Tiva,I Desided to Take my OEM Seats Apart & Desided to Try Using the Bottom Base & Rails, It Worked All you Have to do is put your racing Seats Upsidedown & make Markings on The Base On Where You Want to put your homemade attaching Brackets, Any one with an Arc Welder Can Do It ,Try it Out.

            What's up with the random capitalization? The seats do look nice but they are way too high IMO. Is your car an automatic with a stock engine?

              I'm confortable with the height on the seats, My Tiva is Automatic & it has a stock engine on it,it's only Rally inspired not Rally ready,& the random Capitalization is how Like to write.

                      Festiva rails

                      The hardware and engineering in the Festiva rails leaves a little to be desired. It is loose and has cheap plastic ball bearing slides. I am waiting for some Festiva pads for my Tiburon seat install. Your car looks great. I hope it doesn't attract a lot of trooper attention.

                          I get A Lot of Looks but I yet Been Pulled Over "Knock On Wood Right!"
                          You're Right about The Festiva Rails,But Bought 2 Different sets of Sliders & None Worked,The biggest Problem I had Was keeping the Seat leveled,With The Sliders one Side Be Higher the The other,That's Why i Desided to go with the OEM Brackets.

                              Can troopers pull you over just for looking fast because your car certainly does look like it belongs on a race track. I really like what you've done. The colors and decals, seats, wheels, spoiler all make a great "complete" look.
