Those planted seat brackets are incredible. I got a set about a month ago and can't say enough about them. If anyone is going with aftermarket seats they are the way to go. :2thumbsup:

Yeah the planted brackets are built like a tank. They'll last longer then the rest of the car.

Climbing in isn't so bad... it's sooooooo nice to be back in a seat that keeps me where I'm sitting. I've been tossing the car around every chance I get, it makes such a difference in control because half your energy isn't spent holding on to the wheel trying to keep yourself in the seat! You'll drive down the road with that stupid grin for a week... it's inevitable.

That hydraulic ebrake uses the OEM rear calipers?

Yup. Don't think of it like an e-brake, think of it like a brake peddle for the rear brakes, thats actually more accurate to how it works.

Figured as much, but how does it push just the rear brakes and the fronts not getting affected?

Basically, your brake proportioning valve is up near the master cylendar, as long as you tap into the rear lines after that (be dumb to run the lines up there anyways) you are good.

Ebay. There are a mess of them on there. The particular one I got came from China. It's well built except for some slop in the handle. Home Depot nylon bushings fixed that. I know a guy with an NRG e-brake, it's nice but cost $160, I think I paid $40 + shipping. Works just as well.

Looks awesome! I saw a picture of a couple of CRX's that were done up with the green chalkboard paint, it looked pretty cool and if you're good at using chalk you can draw up some sick designs.

I've been considering doing that. What's the texture like? Rougher than primer? Are you doing the whole car?

And what is your logical reason?
