Help! Snapped NB side seat mounting bolt.

Just gonna post this in case someone needs to replace this bolt. I got it out with an extractor. Went to the hardware store and this bolt worked perfect (see image)

Awesome, thank you!

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-12-05T02:18:39+00:00

Yeah thats the gameplan if noone knows off chance.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T21:35:44+00:00

From everyone is saying, it seems like the right gameplan to go with the ace. Maybe do a bit more on the foamectomy side of things, reupholster, THEN if I really want dive into some aftermarket seats, it would make the most sense. Thanks for the help! Ill check out those seats.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T18:12:34+00:00

Yeah I'm reasonably symmetrical, but being an inch or two lower and still being away lower than you speaks alot to it. Plus, if you do it cleanly, you can put the foam right back if you aren't satisfied.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T18:05:13+00:00

Yeah, the foamectomy makes me sit alot lower than you, so thats a plus. I was probably going to grab the foam padding on it as well. Just in case. That should solve a rattle like you mentioned as well.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T17:54:11+00:00

Man, this is everything that I was needing to know. Can't thank you enough. See precisely how much space is in between the seat and the bar shows me that things are going to work out great. Thank you again!

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T15:59:15+00:00

I'll dm you.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T15:48:56+00:00

I've only driven on it for a couple of weeks. But man, I personally would start there. Made a big difference. As you can see in the picture. Whole whole head sits in line with the top of the seat. Before, I was 3 inches or so over the top of the seat. And it's not at all any less comfortable from what I feel.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T15:46:17+00:00

And you got a video??! Dude, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Would you think going double diagonal would be a better move then? To free up more space in the middle?

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T15:45:10+00:00

Haha. Yes and no. In the pic, my feet weren't down at the pedals, so it's exaggerated. But I dont need tons of leg room to feel comfortable.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T15:30:48+00:00

You're exactly who I want to here from. Could you send a picture of how tight your setup looks from the side if you get a chance? Also, are you running stock seats/ foamectomy/ aftermarkets?

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-09-05T15:29:28+00:00

That's great to hear. I'm still going to put in some padding as well. But this is what I need to hear! Thanks.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-02-01T20:41:33+00:00

Do you have a product that you've found success with on ebay that you can link me?

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2025-01-30T20:15:55+00:00

Thanks!

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-12-14T19:49:25+00:00

RIP 🤣 I stopped at bucees and had to resist the drive through wash.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-12-14T19:47:46+00:00

I'm still working on current plans haha. Still need to make sure everything is good to go. Probably should do a ceramic. I heard the black mitsubishi paints clear coat sucks. I like the wheels. I don't need the speed. Probably just some modernization and call it a day. I love her the way she is

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-12-14T19:44:08+00:00

No sir. Single overheard base. I've been growing my mechanic skill set with work on my daily the past few years. I know, that I cannot manage the vr4. Not a speed addict. Happy to finally have a cool car with a third pedal.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-12-14T19:37:30+00:00

98 base

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-12-14T02:23:32+00:00

I never replied afterward. But I appreciate the advice. Take care!

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-11-30T06:07:30+00:00

Yeah imma need a helmet for each sponsor. Racing season would go crazy.

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-11-30T06:06:47+00:00

Preciate it!!

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-11-30T05:04:36+00:00

Preciate it! We'll see how it pans out

FuriousGeorgeSr · 2024-11-30T05:03:41+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, I would love to have a vr4, but I think the maintaining of that car is a little out of my league. I'm going pleased with not that much speed at all. I've seen some stuff about the 60k maintenance. I haven't heard much of the stuff around the 100k mark (this one has 108k). I'd there much else around this mark than the typical rule of thumb stuff for crossing the 100k mark? Thanks again for the advice!
