03.5 LSB on LSB 6MT Restoration / Progress Journal

[SGM330]

Thanks guys! Appreciate the kind words!

Would love to hear reports back on the comfort/lumbar aspect of these seats. As much as I'd love to go the Cobra route, retaining the hinged access to the rear is a big priority of mine for kiddos in the back seat.

Did a 12 hour trip, absolutely love them! and the fact that they're adjustable, makes it even better! Highly recommend.

Updates!

One of my biggest mods to date - Recaros Sportsters!!

Due to the fact that I have a colored interior, I didn't want to lose that while going with an upgraded seat. So I decided to go with AMX Performance, LSB matched Sportsters. Since I like my build to be OEM+, I wanted to keep a few key features.

This includes, keeping an occupancy sensor so I don't need to code out my airbag, Brey Krause seat mounts to have the appropriate height and retain power adjustment and lastly, retaining heated seats option while utilizing the factory heated seat button. I wanted the seats to look like they came from the factory, for the most part and I didn't want any buttons in my car that aren't functional.

Haven't had much seat time since install but I love them so far!

OMG this build is so dope! The Recaros looks absolutely amazing. Car is mint inside and out.

Definitely let AMX know they’re not working right. That’s now two data points and you’re the only other person I’ve spoken to that’s gone the heated seat route. They know about mine already.

Good luck!

Thanks! I'm doing a drive from Toronto to NJ for the annual 46M meet next week. I'll be using the heated seats for sure, once I confirm, then I'll reach out!

Thank you! I actually tried to have a shop use the link to your base but they couldn't figure it out for some reason. I finally got some seat time last night and I think you might be right, doesn't seem like the heated seat levels work. I'm going to give it another try when I drive it next!

Looks great! Do all three heated seat levels work correctly for both seats? I’ve had a lot of trouble dialing mine in (Also AMX). Passenger seat worked right out of the box, but the driver seat took a lot of software hacking in the switching center and really only works for one setting even after hacking.

Also, if you’re interested in sitting a bit lower, it is possible with custom brackets for under $100 https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...706#post200706

Still have them, they're not going anywhere. 19x9 et15 (+10mm spacers effectively et5) and 19x10 et25

Gorgeous!

Ok front have agressive offset! I had a set before but they had smaller lips up front

I love the look of those wheels but damm they are heavy!

Must be very different driving the car with the ACS Type 2 vs Volk TE37!!!

It is aggressive! That's the main reason I took them off, I need to run aggressive camber to make them fit. I will be rebuilding them to less aggressive spec and use them as a show set up.

The car is a completely different car with the TE's. Can't wait to feel how it drives after some power mods.

Still have the ACS Type 2? What are/were the specs?
