You need new rails with any after market seat for the Supra,

the main reason is the seatbelt buckle(what the belt clicks into) is attached to the actual seat so if you remove your seat you need some form of arm or piece of metal to bolt the buckle to.

 

I wouldnt advise a custom fabricated job due to safety, and instead I would get the Bride RO rails because they will be tested to a certain level of safety standard just incase your where in an accident, last thing you want is the seat belt not to work as per design

 

 

Also the seat bolts will not line up, after market to standard rails

 

Bride Rails for 2 you are talking roughly 300 euro shipped to Ireland, rails are about 80-120 euro rest is shipping

 

The cheapest I found was 300 euro for 2 shipped to Ireland via Yahoo Auctions, if you find anything cheaper let me know please ;)

Just so people know Knight Racer have decided they cannot come to the meet now as they have a few other shows also coming up in the immediate future and would be causing big mileage on the gtr which is for sale.

 

Anyone who was going to collect something from them at that weekend please contact me for details on delivery.

I am trying to get down to this for either sat or sun. I am still debating as my engine stuck a couple of valves open due to dirt getting into the buckets so don't know if I want to risk a long trip to end up driving home with 4/5 cylinders if it happens again.

really wanna make this one though so here's hoping...

Absolutely shattered just in the door. So many highlights of the weekend for me.

 

Ianoc's gtr is just unnatural, won 2 of 5 awards today, well deserved too . Thanks Ian for coming down, the car is a serious attention magnet and it's not hard to see why. Imo the nicest all round skyline in the country.

 

Chiefgroover "had to" bring his r35 !

Couldnt believe he drove all the way from Northern Ireland for this weekend after a stag do yesterday.

 

Couldnt get over his generosity this morning, he must have brought at least 20-25 people for spins in the r35. Epic is the only word for this machine and it's not a word I'd use lightly. Cant say much more about it just that I'll try selling my soul to the deil during the week to get the funds to buy one, lol.

 

To each and every person that made the weekend what it was from every corner of the island, thanks a million for coming along. It's all well and good organising stuff but if people dont put in the effort to come then it's fuck all good at the end of the day.

 

An absolutely massive personal thank you from to Wesley Keating of WKD Imports for his permission to use his premises for the full weekend. Couldnt fault anything except the weather and that was only for a small bit today.Think the differs were especially happy with the opportunity to cause some wreck, cheers to Andrew, Blaine and Clive for providing lots of entertainment aswell as Dan Moorehead and a few others. Names escaping me with tiredness at the moment.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and thanks also the invitees outside Supra Skyline circle for making the trip and spicing up the standard of machinery.
