***Official What did you do to your EK today***

[sangyz]

i wanna be doing this soon. i contacted a wheel shop ages ago to do this but never went through with it cause of money, but i have money now ^_^.

they cut out your wheel centres and weld them into new barrels, iirc cost 55-65 per wheel depending on if you wanted 14x7 or 15x7 or 8

may i ask what shop this was got any details??

So they provide the barrel and the labor for only 65 bucks a wheel? Sounds too good to be true to me mang

Cool.... and just out or curiosity (not saying I like it or not) but anyone ever seen or done something like this in Oz?

Yeah theres 2 people i know in NSW that have re-barreled steelies. They were both at JDMST eastern creek show and shine as well.

race seats sometimes are generally heavier as their gains out weight them being heavier

compared to the stock ej8 seats I had, if the sr3s weighed 5kgs more it wouldnt matter, I'd just shave it off somewhere else as their benefits are worth it, being rebuildable also plays a huge factor

i think recaros arent race seats. they're sporty, not race.
race seats arent heavy like recaros, it doesnt make sense if youre racing with heavy ass seats?

these are race seats, theyre not sporty.

I'm with Mocci on that, my Zeta II weighs almost half of my stock seats, SR3s are more just yeah sporty seats for spirited driving imo

Agree. SR3's are so much better over stock, I never thought they'd be that good, but Honda define them as 'semi-buckets'... well according to a Type R history video I have. They're never going to put full race seats in a production spec car like a Civic/Integra... For dedicated track cars something like the above makes more sense...

[Temp3st]

Yeah agreed having a fixed back in a production car is a terrible idea. Mind you my Zeta II is in my car all day every day and its my daily but thats just the way i personally like it
