I love my stock seats too much but awesome tutorial as always!
Stock is comfort paradise. But when you want to stay in, buckets is where it's at :D Thanks!
This is definitely the best channel for tips on how to do any work on an RX8
Thanks
Good idea to trim those bolts, because sure as night follows day, you'll need to search for something under that seat eventually and will inevitably shred a knuckle on those beautiful sharp bolt threads. Nice vid mate.
Good idea man, now i have something to do this weekend :D Thanks, glad you liked it!
Where are the info on the airbags ect ?
Man, I love this channel. The best so far!
Thank you so much man!!!!
If you are really struggling with getting loose you can always drop a 4.77 rear end from a S2 in your S1 and it will dramatically shorten gears and boost your torque at the wheels.
Just thought of it a bit late from watching your drift day video weeks ago.
That would be a great upgrade, but sadly too expensive. I would rather save up for a turbo conversion or better 13b rew swap :)
Driven by madness junk yard S2 rear end is cheaper than a turbo system or rew. Or at least here it is. If you can find you they will practically give it to you
Had the recall done today, new fuel pump and lower control arms, took the dealership the full 8.5 hours but the stumble at 3.5 - 4k rpm is gone and pulls a clean 10 in all gears.
Awesome! Glad to hear you back in the game :D I don't know what's happening with my recall, as i've been waiting 3 months and still no one contacted me for the recall followup.... it's a good thing my radiator is busted, otherwise i would be pretty mad at their customer support and care. Hopefully i'll get everything sorted in august :)
SO WEIRD!!! This is the next video I’m uploading & I have to get the bolts to install tomorrow. Random af lol. ANOTHER great video!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
What did u made for the airbag light when you put the new Baquet…
Can you make a video on the harness install :)
Did you ever make the racing harness video you mention at the end? Link please ! Great videos btw!
I love the seat. Hate to see driver side airbag gone!
Hey man great and awesome videos! Greetings from the Philippines. 🇵🇭
Thank you so much man :D Greeting back from Slovenia!
0 dislikes! Keep these great videos coming, watching your videos feels like I already own an rx8, will have to buy it soon! :D
Pozdrav iz Srbije :)
Thank you so much man, I'm very happy to hear that! When you do i want to be the first one to know :D Pozdrav iz Slovenije :)
I have a 05 shinka I love the car but it’s sucks cause I’ve never driven it it needs some work just the basics tho and I also need a new water pump since I found out mine went bad!
What about the connectors ? Did not get where to find info ?
I have the same seat in my car! So freaking snug, its awesome
Riggin Thorniley right on man 👌👌💪😄
Does does it give you any additional headroom? I’m wanting to autocross mine but with the stock seat I sit too high up to be able to wear a helmet without it hitting the roof.
Did the airbag illuminate on dash?
Next stop!
I'm already on board of the train :D
How do you like the seats and would you recommend them over something like Braum’s?
with the bucket seat can you sit lower in the car than the stock seats?
photonman54 don’t know for his seats in specific just how low they can go, the holes on the side of the bracket allow for about 6 inches in adjustment. Personally I’m running the Zeta 3, which sits a good bit lower than stock seats. Actually have head room now lmao
Here's the deal, the seats are a bit lower, and can get even lower if you remove the bottom cushion, but you can't lean the seat back to gain more space. So since i'm forced to sit straight, i have just enough room, i will struggle a bit with a helmet, but if i take the cushion out, i can sit comfortably without issues :)
How many inches wide is that seat at the shoulder bursters?
Does the seat base fit with recaro pole position seats too?
Is there any way I can make the seats work with rails? Our RX-8 will be driven by multiple drivers so it's crucial that we can adjust the seat instantly.
Yes, of course. Just bolt the rails on the seat and bracket. I didnt install them cause I am too tall, amd wouldn't fit with my helmet
Hello bro Whats its better the S1or S2 ?
I'm about to buy an RX8 2009 S2 with 90331 in the odo and I want to know if S1 problems were fixed or anithing
What advice could you give me?vI am a little confused
If you have the money get an S2 Rx8. All of the major issues were fixed and you have 1 extra oil injector to lubricate the engine, which is extremely helpful to maintain the engine long term. Also it look better, in my opinion. If your limited on the budget, an S1 is good too, and if you follow my tips & first mods video, you will have a very reliable S1 Rx8 :)
Driven by madness thnks bro in this week I will see how the car works :)
Awesome! :D
Driven by madness I have S2 at 88k I bought it at 25.5k (these are miles) and I have never premixed, had it flood 1 time that I deflooded myself by pulling the fuel pump relay and cycling it with and without fuel for a couple minutes,. Has never overheated, never broken down, actually never seen a shop except for when I hit some animals and damaged my front end.
I'm still all original rotors, housing, seals, coils, plugs.
I have deleted my catalytic converter and muffler (yup straight pipes) and I have put on a bit more aggressive AFR map.
Edit: just realized I quoted wrong person. But still the right comment thread.
Low km S1 a lot cheaper, S2 for better build and daily use. If you don't mind parting with a little extra coin.
Do you daily your RX8?
Pretty sure he does... I also daily mine, fun experience... but the wallet hurts.
I used to, now i drive it mostly in winter and during summer i use my scooter, because i live in a city and i can't stand driving a car during summer due to 30°+ degrees. Once you try it, you never go back :D
Snoopy25 +1 on the wallet thingy :P
SOS Brigade Chief I daily mine. 73k miles in 3 years
I do, everyday, even with the price of actual fuel (95 not watered down filth they call 91) in Australia. I only rotate it out with my back up car for one season for upgrades and check overs.
How much extra headroom did you gain?
not much, maybe 2cm, because i sit closer and straighter
ERROR 404: Side seat buttons not found.... #BaseGTModelLyfe
Then put some coal in the steam chamber, and pull the release lever and rotate the wheel to move the seat back and forth :P
Snoopy25 what are seat buttons? #R3LYFE
Snoopy25 lol
if the airbag light is on because of this will they still deploy in an accident, i know with some cars they wont deploy if it is on, is there any easy way around this ?
You can install a resistor, so that the light on the dashboard goes off and airbag function is back to nornal
I have an 05 rx8 o think my cat is clogged, what are signs and symptoms of this in detail??
High RPM power loss, decreased MPG, bogging down, glowing-red CAT.
whether the airbag indicator lights up after changing the seat?
Here you go: www.mazdaspeedforums.org/forum/f111/how-get-rid-airbag-light-aftermarket-seats-197884/
So what about the auto adjusting air bags?
I will post it on my forum page, as soon as i get the correct info from specialists, that have done this many times.
No sliders tho? People will have a hard time getting in the back nor can you adjust the seat if for instance your gf drives it or a good friend.
A bucket seat is for track use only, which means you have to have a helmet on. With sliders, people taller than 1.85m can't get in, cause the roof will be too low. If you're under 1.80m you can consider slidersx otherwise don't :)
@@Drivenbymadness my buckets (recaro pole positions in black leather so not that average crap) have abe approval so I can use them on the road without mot problems, sliders raise the seat like what, have an inch maybe a lill bit more, so thats bs saying people not be able to get in, laughable actualy.
@@swansmeister dude... obviouslpy you can get it, but sit straight and drive with a helmet and sliders, while being tall more than 187cm is impossible, you'll brake your neck. Im 1.87m and my helmet is rubbing the roof.
@@Drivenbymadness sure I believe that but I dont thi k half an inch is not gonna matter, like you said yourself you have no sliders and already hit te roof, lower the sidebrackets than if you have a lower hole left in em.
does the airbag sign light up after you change to bucket seats?
yes. The only way to get it to go away is by installing a resistor.
How do you do that?
How much did you pay for the seat?
Around 150€
Koliko ti je auto km prešao i kolko imam ulaganja ako ga kupim za prvi auto? Pozz iz hrvatskee
od kar sem ga kupil sem naredil 12.000km. Za prvi avto je ok, ali traži puno benza. Šta se tiče ulaganja, imaš da ga redno servisiraš, ali to obavezno svako leto mali servis i na dve godine hladilna tekočina. Možda dobrih 500€ da sriediš sve što bi bilo potencialen problem, poslje toga avto radi normalno. Isto sve zavisi koliko kompresije ima. Ako kupuješ avot ki treba puno vremena da se pali ko je hladan i vruč, onda snaš da ima nešto za popravit i mogučno je da je kompresija. Ali to se da testirat brez problema. Najbitnije je da ti nima gusti bijeli dim od izpuha :)
Driven by madness ako bi mi mogo samo jos odgovorit kolko mu treba da se zagrije po ljeti i zimi i da se ohladi pri gašenju?
ti kad ga upališ čekaj 30 sekund, i posle toga možeš ga voziti normalno, jer kad ga voziš če se najbolje segreti, ali šaltaj brzinu do 4000rpm. Jedan put kad se ogrije, onda možeš pičiti do 9500rpm
Hvala ti na brzom odgovoru stvarno svaka cast velika podrska od mene pratim te vec godinu dana i stvarno imas kvalitetan kanal svaka cast ogromna podrska
Ooo stvarno hvala ti puno!!! Taka motivacija mi treba :D Vesel sem da ti je všeč.
what to do with the connectors??
Some say to leave them but you'll get a warning light on your dash. I think the best solution is to install a resistor so the car thinks the connector is still there.
Driven by madness what value? And what about no seat belt beep? Do you have a pinout?
Nalim Kenapets I will post all about it in the description, as soon as I get the correct values from a professional rotary shop. I will also consider making a video on that topic
@driven by madness Hey there, So i replaced my fans and radiator, new engine 3k miles ago, But everytime i turn on the AC my watertemp goes through the roof (above 220). Any recommendations
Subzeros No Chill Channel bleed the radiator probably has air in the system
yoo mum you think? Think it could be the thermostat?
yoo mum also it did this before I swapped the fans and radiator randomly on a very hot day, and it’s been like this since
You have air in the system. Park your car half on a hill. it must be cold. Take the coolant bottle cap off. start the car blast your heat and fans at full power. as the car works Observe the coolant in the bottle and see if bubbles come out. if you don't see any, firstly give it a couple of revs and have someone stand by the bottle to see if bubbles come out. When the car is almost warm, give it some big revs up to 8000 rpm and hold it there for 3-4 seconds. In this last process you should see a lot of small bubbles come out of the bottle. Repeat it untill you dont 'see any more bubbles comming out. When done. put on the cap and let the car work for 10 min and carefully watch the water temperature on your obd2 scanner. It must NOT go above 220F. also make sure you fans are kicking in at full power when revving/ being at operating temperature. This is how i solved my air trapped in the system, let me know :)
Driven by madness awesome, although it started doing this randomly one day in New Mexico a couple weeks ago, it overheated and it’s been doing it since, but I will try this and see if it works! Thanks love your videos
so you cant adjust front and back huh
Talks just like Chris fix
Who here own a rx8🤔😏
If I removed my seats I'd have a large fry.
why? xD
wtf, it looks like the series 2 rx8 seat 😂😂😂
Almost :D
Driven by madness slowly converting a series 1 rx8 to rx8 series 2 😂😂 i bet when you will do a rebuild you will use series 2 housings to have 3 oil injectors 😂
Oliver szabó that would be a smart thing to do actually. I have series 2 and looking to find a way to put on a S1 pan so I can put on a Sohn system. S2 omp isn't compatible
R0T4RY is love Thank man! When my rebuild comes I want to use series 2 housings, add sohn adapter and fabricate a new lines adapter to join the original 4 and make 6 from them. Streetport the irons and reflash the ecu to accomodate the streetport and to set the omp to inject more(like 10-15%) to better handle the new 2 center injectors
I already have a series 2 engine in my series 1 mwahahahaha. Factory replacement by previous owner.
