Just bought a bride Brix seat and rail this arvo, i went into the dealership that i bought my car from, to get the lock nut key (they forgot to give it to me) and i saw a Bride brix seat and rail in the warehouse.

It is not in very good condition but it is complete with rail.

I asked how much they wanted for it and the guy said $100 (i was very surprised, and started to think they didn't know what it was worth) so i started to tell them that it was ripped and was missing some padding and told them i would give them $70, and after a while they agreed.

A Bride Brix seat and rail (the rail is off a s13 so only 3 of the 4 bolts line up) for only $70, im stoked!!!!!

Tell my why Bride seats are so good? Dealers ask prices for relatively shitty second hand ones that would buy you a new recaro or sparco seat, or a pair of cheaper ones like OBX's. Its bizarre. They don't even look to be especially good quality, maybe a bit better than say autotechnica but nothing flash?

Bride are popular cos they are Japanese and so are the seat most commonly found in Modified Jap performance cars.

It's all in the name.

They are no better than recaros or sparcos (except they come in bright red :) )

Actually imho Bride Seats are more suited to the contours of the asian body as they are made mainly for the japanese, if u notice recaros or sparcos are a little wider at the wing area compared to a similarly sized bride....so hence you guys might want to reconsider which seat is actually a better fit......

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
