Default I <3 UPS

Newest car upgrade came today.


Still waiting on rails though. But in the meantime. h:



I really like it, it looks great and it's very supportive. It's a little tight for me but not too bad, not enough to be uncomfortable. Sparco EVO 2. Only $615 free ship on ebay.

going into the CRX?

I have the fighters. Love em. You maybe have to play with them (shim the fronts higher) if you got sliders too..

Hit me up if you got anymore questions about install in the rex.

yeah, in the CRX Worn out stocker just wasn't cutting it for support, had to constantly brace myself. Real uncomfortable too, and too high off the floor.

I got the universal fixed sidemounts, I'm gonna mount it straight to the floor and weld in reinforcement plates under the car where the bolts are gonna go, also gonna get rid of the factory mounting brackets on the floor that get in the way, gonna try to get it as low as possible straight on the floor and rake the front up a little bit, shooting for helmet clearance, gonna need to get it at least a couple inches lower, cause right now I have 0 clearance, just enough not to hit

If you use a harness, I hope you have/get a cage.

yeah, I plan on getting a rollbar first and then a harness. I'm just gonna use the stock seatbelt for now.

It wasn't too bad when I first sat in it but now I am finding it's really too tight, it makes my hips hurt after I sit in it for awhile. I'm gonna have to try and exchange it for the EVO 3. 6'7" 245 lbs is too big. h:
