Finally have some pics of it...I drove to New Hamshire from NY (6hrs) in it and I can honestly say it doesn't feel to good on your lower back , but who cares when it really holds you in while doing autox... And a pic of yours truly next to my ride:

how well is the left side "shoulder bolster" (dont know the technical term) clearance to the door? Any chance you could measure the distance between each end? I love how clean ur zenki front w/ lip looks in white!!!

It's about 23inches across....My only complaint is that the sparco mounts make the seat a little high...when I had my helmet on for autox my head would occasionally hit the roof....I'll prolly just do some cutting and welding and drop it down an inch or 2.....Thanks for the lip comments....Zenki's always look hotter with lips. I don't know if you guys can tell in pic or not but I opened the 2 vents to allow more airflow....I don't know if it works better or not but it looks better to me rather than having the "fake" black vents...

The left shoulder doesn't hit anything....although it's freakin' close...also don't plan on trying to get behind the seat without a little work....I still have a slightly hard time getting behind there even with the seat all the way forward....

the venting looks hot, as long as air is getting into your bay, it's working, noticable or not. im sure you have plenty mods getting it all out.

Well my mod list is kinda short right now:Injen intakeSSA catbackJDM VLSD w/Nismo gearing (4.4:1) and 5 bolt axlesSuspension Techniques sway barsStainless Steel clutchlinesBrembo Xdrilled and slotted front rotorsTanabe griptech springsOBX short throw shifter (Cheap and it works great for me)Z32 fuel filterMy future mods (parts I already have and just haven't put them on yet due to 60hr work weeks and night school):SR20det redtopZ32 MAFS w/tomei adaptor (already on harness)Hybrid FMICKoyo Aluminum RadKiwi Stainless Steel Header (Bottom mount)Greddy Turbo ExtensionGreddy downpipeCatco hi-flow catApex'i Power intakeMines tuned ECUBlitz BOVGreddy turbo timerTurbo X's engineering MBCExedy Stage 1 clutchI'm not gonna mention what internal stuff I have done to the engine, I'd rather keep it a secret for now as the engine isn't running in my car for now...I'm currently designing some chassis parts for my car with hopes that they will work out good ( night school is a welding class so I'm using that to help design some good custom parts). Also looking into designing a good roll cage where people can sit in the back if needed (even tho sitting in the back of an s13 is like being tortured.).......

NIce....I'm too broke for Sparco. I swapped seats recently as well. I specifically looked for a low rail so that I'd have helmet clearance and I love it. Looks like you got a pretty stout zenki .

I think I saw your thread on your seat...It was the momo one right? If so it was kickass!! The only way I got a sparco was a friend sold it to me for $300.00, he had it in his civic and just didn't like the way it felt he said....My zenki only has 72,4xx miles on it....a fellow NICO guy sold it to me for 3k with 55,xxx miles on it.
