    Racing Seats

    Hi Guys,

    I'm considering of putting in racing seats in the car, however don't want to be spending thousands of dollars.

    Have any of you guys have Monza or OBX seats.. ? they're quite cheap.

    with the monza ones, i'm thinking the a999bk or a1000CB. Probably the a1000CB as it is reclinable. I've got a black euro with the beige interior atm.

    And if you didn't know, if you get caught on the streets with aftermarket seats. Its a 3 demerit point. Your taking away a safety feature.

    You do realise that the side airbags in the Euro are actually located in the seat itself yeah?

    Technically, it is illegal if you remove an existing airbag from the car...

    Yeah not a good idea. Im not sure if there is a bypass, but i recall reading that if u change the seats, you disable the airbags and it also disables all other airbags in the car.

    I thought they were ok with the standard euros since they didn't have curtain airbags? Correct me if I'm wrong though.

    But they do have side airbags in the seats. The curtain airbags are in the A pilar on the Lux and Sport.

    removing one or two or any number of airbags will not affect the remainder of the system...

    its the side airbags (fitted inside the seats) that you would be removing, and hence, its illegal...

    if you want bucket seats - DC5 rsx-s / integra type-R seats have side airbags
