Hey, this car was up for sale here in Vancouver. Thought I saw this posted somewhere in the forum.

Yes it was, its just the guy listed that as a mod and kimona was very interested in that mod. Thought this was interesting... and very doable. so we should do similar things.

From what I hear corvette seats are shitty, but IDK. Wouldn't it be cheaper to do aftermarkets or is it the electric your interested in?

I just thought it was an interesting and clever mod... that someone may want to think about. There have been numerous complaints about the seats in the Yaris (and back ache) in another section of our forum. It doesn't have to be Corvette seats.

well i sit quite comfortably in the seats on the yaris. Its all about how you position it. if you place them upright in a correct manner then you 1) have more control of the car in turns 2) back wont hurt after long drive. But i woulnd't mind bucket seats or something else <3

If I could find TC seats for cheap I wouldn't mind doing that.

Corvette electric seats in an Echo ??!! Hummmm I'm not sure, it seems very very low, uncomfortable? Sorry, I prefer the seats in my Yaris, especially that the "RS" has ergonomic seats with better lumbar and lateral support than other versions. :biggrin:

Nice, the seats would probably cost more than the car.

I think I remember hearing that the seats in the Enzo cost 50K each. Thats as much as the whole Corvette.

Yes, agreed! :thumbsup:
On the other hand, installing racing seats have a cool factor, but you will have to sacrifice comfort for more support. :wink:

I'm really interested in this, if in fact you do sit lower. I duno, I like being low.

What do you mean by this being easy to do? Is it somehow a direct bolt in? All the seat swaps I've seen required big bulky brackets and screwed up the automatic air bag sensor thing.
