S2K Seats...!? Replace em?

hkdcamcain · 04-18-2010, 04:22 PM

Im about 6ft 4, 220 lbs, and i fit in my s2k just fine, not much of a problem, but my rear on the other hand... the bucket like metal on the sides of the seat arent wide enough and end up cutting into my left leg and making me sit slightly off balance, its fine unless i drive for over an hour or so then it gets slightly annoying... anyone know some seats with basically flat bottoms that would fit my car and be comfortable as well as look good?

also, ive never owned a honda before this, always toyota/mitsubishi, and my engine has a wierd noise... sounds almost electric lol? like a kinda hum and pshhh put together when im at lower rpms... idk, just wondered thanks

You might need a new Timing Chain Tensioner.
Do a search for TCT and see what comes up.

Yea ok, but main thing right now is i need that seat either gonna cut a chunk of the metal off of it, or im going to buy a new seat... any seats that would be good?

Can't help you with the butt squishing seats.

hkdcamcain · 04-18-2010, 05:58 PM

Ok well... im going to try my hand at messing with the stock seats i suppose, im going to take out like you would for the lowering modification, and cut a bit of the metal off of the sides, then bend it down if i can and see how that works out.... if it works i guess ill post pictures and how to's... but im gonna give it a week for some one to give me a better idea!

hkdcamcain · 04-19-2010, 04:41 PM

well after looking at them, i think i can basically cut down the metal and then kinda hammer it over... very crudely worded but yea... anyone wanna say something before i do this?

You may want to price the repalcement parts your gonna cut, new seats are very expensive. Think twice ...cut once !

Different seats are available for the car, not sure if they are wider in the bum area ?

Please God!!!! Don't cut the stock seats. Search around for some aftermarket seats with a wider birth in the ass area before you do this. Plus you'll be able to make some serious money off those stock seats if you decide to sell them.

hkdcamcain · 04-20-2010, 09:44 AM

here in lies the problem... every seat i can find has these "walls" on the seat sides... i cannot find a flat bottomed replacement or hell yea id buy it... if anyone wants to link one to me please do!
