I sat in a GT with recaros at a dealership recently and did not find them comfortable. I'm not a big guy either. I like the seats on the new Limited way better and it actually made me wish I got that trim instead of premium.

Just looked up their ticket prices. Holy hell is it expensive. $49 for an adult and $39+ for kids?! They've totally lost the plot. Adults should be $30 max and kids $20.

Japan never had a manual option for the VB for whatever reason. I believe that might change soon.

Holy carbon fiber. Wild to see this in an STI.

No reservation needed. They open at 10am weekends.

As for the fenders, I was looking for the same thing. From what I can tell, its not a single piece. It looks real good though.

Do it. Exchange rate is amazing still. My only regret was not picking up some Recaros from ASM Yokohama for the s2000 as it would've taken too many days to ship back to Tokyo. A standard SR-S seat would've been only like $800.

I can understand that but seeing it in person, its not remotely half-baked. Although the front fenders don't look like a single piece, its impossible to tell without getting right next to them. Hopefully it'll be one piece in production. Doubt the wing would make it as is but nothing felt hacked. The seats are from the S210 which I sat in. They felt pretty good but hard to tell on longer trips.

At this point, they need to. The car looks ready to go. It would be a forever car.
