I decided not to sell the car. I decided to daily this car, and sell my eg sedan beater. So, I sourced interior and sold the roll bar and harness. I still have some random interior items missing but it is mostly complete. I do need a headliner which I am hoping will pop up at a local junkyard. The other thing I need to solve is the exhaust. I am too old to daily a loud car. so more to come on that. I am thinking HKS, as it looks good and is quiet.
I will post some pictures soon.
I also want to buy some jdm EF seats...... I am too old for race bucket seats... jeez. lol

I mean the car will be a lot better with an oem driver seat and quiet exhaust. The punishment will be paying for jdm EF9 seats. I think I saw 1600 for front and rear recently.

Why not go with a set of Recaro SPD's?

I think those are a little bulky for a small EF.

Good idea. I've looking around at Recaro LMs and etc. Seems like a similar path pricing wise, which is fine. I don't have IG anymore but is it usedracingparts by chance? I ordered a Recaro SPG proracer from him years ago. It's probably the coolest seat I own.
There's a bunch on ebay as well.
These are really cool:

Yes that is who I was thinking of. I've got a set of black/silver recaros in my gs-r.
