Down but not out

It will take a while to figure out fitment and get them working with harnesses, but these S2000 seats will be a MUCH better fit for my build than the one piece Brides. Oh, and they’re flawless. 10k miles in car, leather conditioner was applied often. Little creases from storage will be taken care of.

Dragged a buddy along to pick them up because I was worried this was a scam and I was about to get murdered. So we drove the hour into Kent (weapons in pocket) and when we arrived the nicest kid and his mom were standing outside with the seats in front. Oh.... Okay. I didn’t bother haggling because I was happy to not be fending off knives or something (and again, insanely great deal) so we shook, exchanged items and my friend and I headed back.

Kid we bought these from put buckets in his S2k immediately after buying one brand new, hence the perfect condition. He also had not one, but TWO E90 M3's. How? I don’t know. Moving on...

I promised my friend a drink so we went to a local place, Palmers east. Again, Seattle locals, go to Palmers. It’s incredible. Heart of downtown Redmond yet somehow dirt cheap, with great food and an atmosphere that’s half dive bar half hipster joint. It just works. I spent $17 for fish and chips and two beers. That would have been like $1,000,000 at the Juanita Ivar’s and tasted like vomit, too.

The best part was THE MUSIC. walked in and DETHKLOK was playing. Then Hendrix. Then John Mayer. Then Slayer. Then Primus. Then Kanye. Then Zeppelin. Then Jamaroquai (or however it’s spelled). It was fantastic.

The not so great part - we played three games of pool with stakes. I won one game and lost two. Because of this I have to start the next night out with two tequila shots (I hate tequila) and.... Eat a ghost pepper. Spiciest food I have regularly is ketchup so... We’ll see how that goes. My one win means my friend pays for a drink of my choice next time. So that’s something.

Also spotted this in Kent. Noice

also...if you have the pepper first... then go for the tequila... the booze should ease the burn (failing that.. milk helps)

It’s going to suck. Best thing you can do is take pain killers and bring a yogurt smoothie. Oh yeah, imodium. Casein will bind to the capsaicin preventing activation of the trpv1 receptors. I’m drunk and I can’t remember a lot of my undergrad shit right now.

That being said, those seats look amazing. I’ll have a high resolution laser cmm scanner for my garage by the end of this summer. Let me know if you need it to have some brackets built.

Wear rubber gloves when you eat that pepper. Or else you’ll want to die when you rub your eyes ... Or worse yet, when you take a leak.

Nice buy on those seats.

Pain killers and yogurt smoothie. Will do. There were no rules given so whatever I can do to help, I will.

Ohhhhh that could be very helpful. I’ll keep you posted! Hoping to swing by my storage spot today to get a basic idea of what I’ll need to get these seats fitting properly. They’re not massive, but I know at the very least I’ll need to beat the transmission tunnel in a bit to get centered on the wheel. Possibly bend the wings in. Hopefully they’ll sit low enough to avoid cutting out the floor pan but we’ll see

I’m guessing I’ll want to die anyways but thank you. I’ll be sure not to touch anything

Interesting to me how many S2k owners also own or end up in E9x M3s. Gotta have those revs...

I’m absolutely jealous. I’m on the hunt for blue seats for my NB interior and I now need to find those seats for myself!

I recommend them 100%. Honestly they seem like stock NA seats... But upgraded in every single way. Haven’t done an initial test fitting in the car yet but I think it will go well.

If I ever end up switching to red ones I’ll give you first dibs on these!

Wait... It wasn’t you who just picked up the 900hp S2k right?

Nope, still running a stock-ish ‘02 NB...although I’m on the opposite side of the country!
