Ok guys,

ive literally been sitting on these for months now ( pun intended ) ive finally got all the needed pieces together to make this happen. Its taken 6 months of research, researching the best seats, what i want from the new seat install, sourcing hardware from across the globe and trial and error. The install should be complete by next weekend. My seat bases have welded in tabs for the seat belt mount point Plus the the tensioner. Due to TOMK mentioning how low these TILLETS sit in the car , i went with the raised planted bases , the sliders add additional height , plus ive got the taller TB3 tillet side mounts. From my calculation even with all that additional height i'm still going to be lower that the stock seat at it lowest setting. The B5 seat has a big dip in the base and you simply don't realize how low they position you. All bolts are titanium and everything needed to be to an OEM level of finish. The custom seat pads have not arrive as yet. So far the seat project has cost around 4k so a significant investment, these seats will bring the car under 1400kg.

Heres some pics of things coming together, next weekend will see the install finally happen , ill be recording the install for my YT channel.

I need the car ready for two reasons, 1) got a BMW magazine shoot at my workshop , 2) i want to get on my first track day by the end of the month

putting this lot together is a total PITA and you need to expect that modding the hardware is going to have to happen. So far really pleased with the OEM type look of the bases and side mounts.
