Does anyone know the size of the bolts that hold the bracket to the seat, and the size of the bolt that holds the sliders to the bracket. I did a search and found nothing refering to the bolt sizes. I also called Sparco and the guy said that he wasnt sure and would have to get back with me. He called back to say that he didn't know! :mad: I ordered the seats and they came without the hardware. IF anyone can help it would be really appreciated.

Thanks everyone.
 
Well ain't that some BS :mad: I would call them back and tell them to send this to you. You have spent plenty a penny on these seats and they owe it to you to send you everything. When I ordered mine from OG Racing, they came with the seats. You know, QA sucks when it comes to auto related items. I have never seen so many "redo" situations in all my life....just my .02 :D
 
vent brother, vent! Yeah I was kinda thrown back when he took the time to call me back just to let me know that he didn't know. uhhh ok. I found what I was looking for though. I called a car guy know it all and he knew the size of the bolts off the top of his head. If anybody else ever needs them thay are 8mm x 1.25 thread pitch. Just for future searches. :D

Sorry about the mix up, i thought it was better to tell you that I mess up the order instead of making up a story :) I was fully ready to overnight sat delivery for you. Like i said on the phone, let me send you a care package and I hope it can make you feel better for the trouble.... You were my first seat order and I once again apolgize for the inconvience. but think of all the future buyers you just saved! And I hope the kick ass price make this little trouble worth it too :) :) :)

Thanks for putting up with it man!
 
THonda- Not your fault bro. It all worked out in the end and yes, the price and the way you conduct business was well worth it. Ill definatly be in contact with you regarding other purchases. Also thanks for the overnight offer, you really didn't have to, but thanks anyway!!! :D


NSX FoYo- We trying to bring back the 80's Isn't that RAD!! I haven't heard that word in a long time.


Donwon- Hey bro, Ill pm you with my number. Give me a call and Ill tell you about a few things that will help you out bigtime with the install. That way you dont have to take the seats in and out 4 times like my dumb ass :rolleyes:
 
I have these seats in my '94 and they are awesome!! You will love them....now about a larger version of that avatar pic.... ;)
 
The seats work with the OE bolts with the taitec mounts.they sit a tad high but other then that zero problems with torinos and taitec mounts IMHO 'the best". if you get a 4-5 point harness the harness bar will come with modified bolts for the X.hope that helps. theirs pics of my car with the torinos in the gallery
 
The seats are great, but Im using the sparco sliders and bracket. The only issues that I have were that the sparco mounting brackets were a bitch to get all four bolt points to line up. Also the oem bolts that hold the seat belt on both side of the seat, are too long. I put them back in and when I tried to pull the seat forward they hit part of the seat. Im short so, its a problem. :D Im going to have to put some washers in there and see if it solves the problem. Otherwise I couldn't be happier with the results and quality of the seats. Thanks again Tetsuo!
 
Also curious as to the fit, and workings of the taitec rails. Have a set and getting ready to install soon.

Armando

I was wondering why you had blocks taped to the pedals of your car when I saw it today? :confused: Just kidding!! :D

All jokes aside, the seats look great! I was really impressed with the way they fit in the NSX. The seats don’t look cramped and appear to take up just as much space as the stock seats. I briefly sat in the passenger seat and IMO it’s comfortable but I think it would take a long road trip to really be able to answer that question. I found in general the seats don’t look too big, they don’t sit too high up (from the floor of the car), and they look like they could be a factory option.
