Gorgeous Seats.

Is it possible to buy some race seats and fit universal runners underneath them to fit to the car floor rails?

Statüs seat installed.

I had to review the system of fixing what I had done for each other.

It is really beautiful and the position is more typical sport. The only problem, the shape of the top stack is maintained in line with the change of speed, ie the arm abuts against. I have not rolled but tested statically. I will test all of this on the road.

The seats look really narrow, are they tight or uncomfortable in any way?

You might be able to get rid of the airbag light by sticking a resistor in the connector where the airbag wiring plugged in (The one you had to disconnect when you pulled your OEM seat). When I put a Recaro Pole Position bucket into my STi, I used a 3.3-ohm resistor, which is pretty common practice for Subarus. Dunno if it's the same for an Aston, but I can't imagine it'd be much different. I got a pack of 5 resistors for $0.50... plus $4 shipping haha.

The resistor will trick the computer into thinking the airbag is still there. In the event of an accident, a signal will be sent through that wire. But it'll just hit the resistor and not go anywhere (airbag is gone so there's nothing to receive the signal). So the only downside is that you're lacking an airbag now.

Thanks Telum,
Mike will take care of at the end of the month.

Here are the times in 3rd gear.


For comparison,
120-140: V12=2.8 / SLS=2.5 / Turbo S=2.3 / R8V10=2.6 / Ferrari 599=2.3 / Diablo Blanco=1.5
080-120: V12=2.9 / SLS=2.4 / Turbo S=2.2 / R8V10=2.8 / Ferrari 599=2.4/ Diablo Blanco=2.9 (even if it is displayed 3sec. I had to refuel the car was heavy)
