Removing front seats?

**speedtrapped** · January 22nd, 2012, 20:45

Ok, unplug battery, pull harness connectors, but howndo I remove seats from car? TIA

I'm guessing you'll need to unbolt them prior to disconnecting the battery and wiring to seats. You'll have to operate the seat back and forth to get to the bolts.

Removed the 2 black bolts on front, but even when I use motor to drive seat alway to rear, the brackets are open ended in rear, the motor stops and seat doesn't budge.

Never mind found a write up, remove bolts, move seat alway back, sit in back seat and grab chair, start to rock, pop seat comes out easy.

Remember Ben, I found a beautiful mint set of recaro black leather sport lines for the front. Paid $1100.00 for pair. I have to have wedge engineering make me brackets, as the seats have NSX brackets not them. Ron, aka na1mt hooked me up with the seller. They are flawless. I just picked them ip today, after putting deposit on them 3 months ago.
I don't think I will have brackets for 2 weeks, so no picks installed.

Btw stock seats are freaking heavy! The recaros are 1/2 weight at least.

OK, I am very interested in this thread now as we all are aware that the current OEM seats are average for just putting about town, forget spirited canyon roads!
I remember that Headshot had Euro C5 RS6 Recaros from Japan? installed and he and his mech had a hell of a time with the side airbag and getting the code to clear...

Your plan?

recaro sport lines Ben.....no harness to attach, pure motorsport seats. Will i miss the heated seats, yes....can I adjust the seat myself-yes....I figure I should save about 50lbs + replacing the stock. these seats cost $1499 a piece, so my price was too good to pass up. The only set of recaro Eurospec's in the US are scotty at advance, and he wants $4k+ for the complete set. Mine are just fronts

I am going to send Ross tech an email today, as I now have an airbag light on dash, due to harness unplug. Hopefully I can code front seats out.

**speedtrapped** · January 23rd, 2012, 17:03

ok, ross tech, cant code out just seats......I hate the light on dash, OCD.....so do I code out all the airbags?, doesnt sound to safe

I remember hearing about harness terminators with resistors in them to trick ecu...

**speedtrapped** · January 24th, 2012, 17:06

interesting, sort of like the terminators for the stern engine MM

IIRC, Headshot had to do the same thing on his set...

Ok, google came up short, but maybe I'm not searching the right way.
