#315850 Curious if you wouldn't mind detailing the installation of the Evo8 seats? I'm considering these seats as well as they match my car and offer increased stability.

Find yourself a set of DC2 / ITR recaro seat rails.

You will find that when attempted to bolt the rails to the seats, that only one bolt lines up on each side, you simply just have to drill a extra couple of holes in the DC2 rails, bolt them down. BOOM flush fit.

I'll upload some pics of what I did.

Basically, the front bolt holes line up perfectly, after lining them up and bolting them in a little bit, you can finally mark up where you have to drill the extra hole needed to secure the rail to the seat.

There is also a part you have to grind down to make the rail sit inline too, which is shown in one/two of the pictures below.

Image

Lining up the front, you'll find you have to grind out/off some metal. I used some sort of file to do this.

Image

Image

You can now line up the hole needed to bolt in the rail securely

Image

Image

Boom DONE

Image

If I remember correctly, the front part of the rails, when full extended out, as long as they are inline with each other, you will have near enough perfect fit into your EG.

Hope this makes some sort of sense, any more questions just ask.

#316213 Thanks for comments guys.

Getting a 3" straight through made up for it, with a removable test pipe so I can fit a Cat in for when it's MOT time.

Manifold -> 3" pipe -> HKS hi power style muffler.

#346953 BIG UPDATE NOW:

Going K24.
I blew a hole in my K20 motor, So I picked up a K24A3 to slap a K20 head on. Took the motor apart to find the K24 was a bit battered lol.

Image

So now I'm going to be building a 300+WHP monster that will be my daily driver.
Image

12.5:1 compression wiseco pistons
DC stage 4 cams
Carillo rods
ACL bearings
ARP head studs
And a few other things in that box

Just ordered a ported head and a nice little Skunk2 ultra race intake, 725cc ID injectors, Bosch 044 fuel pump. Just need to order a Throttle body, and get a header made up. And to sort out a clutch and flywheel!

Sent the entire motor off to be aquablasted for that OEM finish. And got the oil ways cleared out.


Image
Image

Hoping to get it back on the road in next 2 months!

Here is a couple of pictures of the EG!

Just need to sort out injectors and fuel pump. Then once everything is built, mock up the intake piping etc.

Still lots to do now I think about it.
