NA6CE 1992 Form vs Function Build and History

Yea, I honestly don't know enough about the re-barrel and such...haha...I have that spare set of 8" barrels, but then again, that is only a pair and wouldn't change the offset I do not believe...I unfortunately am a rookie when it comes to the wheel stuff haha...

For comparison, I suggest adjusting the position of the lumbar compared to a car whose seats you find firm, but ergonomically correct/comfortable (IOW, a car whose seats you have sat in for long periods without issue). Park the cars next to each other, so your memory is fresh when you go back and forth.

FWIW, some of the best OE seats, in terms of ergonomics, are in Hondas and Lexus, IMPO. Recaro seats are as well. I generally prefer cloth seats for comparison because OE leather can dry out and actually harden, destroying the shape and how you are supposed to sink into it a little. For instance, my Integra seats, the seats on my EP3, and the seats in my wife's IS300 are all some of the best sport-type seats I have sat in. Generally, most non-leather Honda seats are a good reference.

I would rather do a rebarrel to a 14" Rs8, if possible. I could use a stepped barrel, which I think would look killer.

So, I had to run around a little bit this afternoon. I just had a single .75" layer in my seat, I removed the extra lumbar because I'm not sure if I need it yet. BIG difference. The foam is firm, but absorbs all the little vibrations and small, jarring hits going over bumps. It is night and day, to me. I positioned the foam so there is about a 2.5-3" gap at the bottom and it comes up to the bottom of my shoulder blades. Where before I could feel my lumbar vertebrae and shoulder blades hitting hard FRP, I only feel the foam. It's very nice!

Did you just put it under the original padding? Or did you actually cover the padding in fabric?

[— kung fu jesus —]

Just under the cover. It is between the shell and the existing padding (which is maybe 3-4mm th). When I am satisfied, I'll wrap the existing cover over it. There is enough to do so.

Ok. I may have to try this then.

[— kung fu jesus —]

I would use the 1/2" medium. I just fixed my inflatable lumbar, placing the bulb remotely. It's quite nice!

I might mount the lumbar bulb under the front edge on the seat. The doorbar and belts interfere with it in the stock location, so under the front 'waterfall' of the seat is a bit of a recess that I think might work nicely.

God those would look GREAT!!!

I need a sheet of that foam, I went too deep on my foamectomy and now my seats are terribly uncomfortable. Thanks for the link

Also, the table and chairs in this picture look awesome.

[— kung fu jesus —]

The table is 8/4 beech salvaged from a barn in Vermont built 100+ years ago.

I have mine on the center console side on both seats? Right next to the seat belt receiver.

[— kung fu jesus —]

Mine are outside the seats.

I haven't used mine since I have had the seats. They work well for me without using them.
