I just finished up installing the passenger seat but I choose to go with wedge engineering bracket and slider....I must say that the seat is solid and does not move....

The wedge engineering bracket and slider sits lower.....looks like I will be ordering the wedge engineering bracket and slider as well for drivers side so they match..

Sparco Slider and bracket will up for sale....PM me if you want it

Both seats are installed....little bit of delay time as I decided to use wedge engineering bracket and slider instead of sparco...

Here they are....still need to get harnesses.....and I am gonna do a rear seat delete as well..

The front seats look good in there man. I'd like to see what you come up with for the rear seat delete. I had thought about doing a rear delete in my IS300 but I think with it being a 4 door it would seem a little weird.

I have an idea planned out just need to get some cardboard templates made up....also will need some slots to run the harnesses through so I can bolt them to the factory rear seat mounting location....

Thanks....I have finally ordered the supra radiator shroud and also will be installing a BCC from MVP motorsports...see how much room i have left on the 440s till i lean out....at 14psi ,I am reading low 10.2-10.8..on AFR..still pretty rich...see if it can go up to 16psi....

I really do not want wire in resistor pack for 550cc Supra low impedance injectors..... I might just buy the high impedance sard ones that are drop in for Aristo

It will be out of plywood and covered with black carpet...I want to make it easily removable so I can put rear seats back in if i need to

Its not that hard....its just a PITA...

Also dont make the mistake I did.....Do not remove all the old studs leave at least one in....so you are able to keep the hub from spinning
