so my BF picked this RCI racing bucket up at work



for 15 bucks.

his boss(my step dad) told him told him that he should either get the seat out of the barn or he was going to throw it out. I never asked for it, nor did he, because well.........







it was just so mint.

so I now I got 2 buckets for 15 bucks......... now I have a touch choice on which one is the better choice

the recaro has lumbar support, fully reclinable, and is so mint it is stupid. I was a bit dusty....... but damn I still feel bad for getting it for free.

then again he is running custom seats built buy a guy who does all of the disney rides now...... so this is his left overs from his old GNX.

a little welding rod and flux.......

grandpa,step dad, uncle, bf............. all run one of the biggest welding shops in the s/e

I could probably run recaro rails, but its just as easy for them to make me a mount.

Looks to me like you spent a bunch on the harbor freight jack as well! It's convenient though. Although I still don't dig the rims

actually thats my BFs jack. my step dad has a craftsmen and a 2 post lift for working on cars at home.

my BF just uses the HF jack, and borrows the lift when needed .

they do, for 1/4 the price, I didnt have to wait, and I really dont like the flat black rim. I also enjoy the lip

summit carries a bunch of different styles in low offsets. they even have a easy to use search, unlike jegs. ive given up on jegs....

Diamonds come in other colors its just people are too lazy to ask for the chrome or whatev and all end up with that tired looking matt black.

At sub 300 your wheels are a steal, and they definitely look badass. Ill keep shopping around till i find a decent size for a decent price. I really dont feel like going 5 lug.

yeah I refuse to go 5 lug. I had been holding out because I detest sport max and couldnt jusify spending madd tyte JdM rim money. I was actually talking with my BFs brother and happened to come across these 4 luggers(4x4.5 is what they call them)........

even cheaper than sport max and I got them in like 3 days. they have a 15x8 as well(I didnt even look at the 16s), for a dollar more, but are a -19 offset .
