Right on! How much clearance do you have between the seat bottom and the head liner?

Usually, aftermarket seats sit higher and you loose some headroom.

The ProCar seats in my 240z removed about 3" of headroom. Unbeknownst to me at the time, about 1/2" of that 3" was necessary for my helmet to clear! DOH!!!

I think he just slightly modded the stock rails. He posted up on another (now seemingly defunk'd) forum and was talking about it.

No name seats, very nice though! I lost a bit of head room but it is perfect! I did end up using the stock sliders which required a bit of fabbing. But it sure was worth it!

Since your 'how-to' post on Got-Z is no longer available, why not re-post one here?

yes... we're joking. It's funny because lots of ricers like to take out seats, carpet, dashes, plastic pieces, etc trying to lighten up their already light *** 2400lb car.

Hey if you were making 80 HP to the wheels and only 4 ft/lbs at the crank you'd be stripping that stuff out too

That looks really nice! Is there enough room to get your hand on the release lever on the side without having to open the door, unlike me?
