These seats do come with their own heat switch; however, the heated seat button on the dash isn’t used anymore, it’s a rocker switch on the seat itself, below the seat cushion and requires extra wiring, but I got it to work with no issues

yes! It’s called ASM by schroth, anti-submarining. The black square patch you see in the rear picture has extra material sewn together that will elongate more than the other side in a crash, allowing the shoulders to subtly turn in a way that prevents submarining or slipping downwards in the...

For the seat or the harness? I didn’t document my progress when installing either, but I can provide a step-by-step walkthrough with pictures if you want. if you meant just for the harness, here are the instructions from schroth for the ford focus gen3; there are some subtle differences when...

installed schroth quick fit pro harness for ford focus g3. Nice option for those that want a harness without a full roll cage or harness bar. I referenced these sites while researching: -CivicX HPDE Harness -CivicX 4-Point Harness without Bar -CivicX 4-point harness for track days or more seat...

no, not a pain to take off seat position sensor. It’s 2 x 10 mm bolts, one to take the bracket off from seat (helps to unclip/move aside the big side trim piece that has the seat adjustment buttons, that’s the side the sensor is on), then the other bolt that attaches sensor to bracket. The pain...

For the driver side: in case you still get the SRS light from using the 2.2 ohm resistor to defeat the side airbag, you might also have to plug in the seat belt buckle wire and also the seat position sensor. I plugged both of those in along with my SRS delete wire and I don’t have the SRS light on

I haven’t done any road trips or anything, just a 30 min test drive after install and work commute (20 mins one way). The seat’s comfortable and supportive, especially during spirited cornering. Much more than the stock seat. I feel like a race car driver and I love it. I’m a set-and-forget seat...

Thanks! I’ll check that out. Currently the seat belt doesn’t ride up on my neck, but I’m planning to remove the adapter frame attached to the seat rail to lower the seat a bit, by about an inch, I might need it then. Also, I picked this up a couple months ago, thought you might like this:

Recaro SRS ASM Limited installed. Recaro has a seat rail package for FL5 that I used, it’s an adapter frame that attaches to seat, then the rail attaches to the adapter frame. Purchased everything from @lmtlsauto (thanks Luigi!). Ordered beginning of May, arrived beginning of January. No SRS...

Passenger seat height is not adjustable

Installed SiriMoto clutch damper delete + JSR Engines clutch slave cylinder w/ clutch delay valve delete I’m much happier with the more direct clutch engagement feel now. Also installed FL5 steering wheel trim; 👎 to piano black and also the mirror-like bottom trim that would sometimes...

I’m currently using this to mount my phone during track time: Headrest Phone/Tablet Mount will swap to this one when I install the Recaro coming in a couple months: Single side headrest phone/tablet mount Incoming Recaro:

This was Monday night (9/30) Swapped out OEM front and rear brake pads with Paragon P3 front and rear. OEM front pads still had decent life left, about twice the thickness of wear indicator mark, although inner pads were wearing faster than outer; but rear pads were almost at wear indicator...

Coolant temp gauge hit 5 bars toward end of last session at track day on 9/8 at Streets of Willow clockwise—happens at 1m02s into the posted lap video. 7 laps in of my 6th and final 20-minute session of the day at about 2:30 PM, outside temperature was showing 106°F on the instrument cluster...

I have weather tech, fitment and quality are very good. I also like that there’s the option to get the full coverage kit:

I do this, I mix 91 with 101 to get 93 at the Sunol Super Stop gas station in NorCal. I use this website to determine how much to mix: 93 Octane Mix Calculator I checked with the attendant to make sure that the 101 is unleaded, make sure you do the same (pretty sure it will be unleaded though)...

I made the purchase for a seat + rail from a vendor called LMTLS auto, they have driver and passenger recaro seat brackets for FL5, which I’m assuming is a direct fit for us. Here is link to their recaro section they said 6 month turnaround time, I preordered/special order

Nice find! I’m considering going with this. Also, they have a red one that might match all you red interior owners

Do itttt. No fab necessary, no CEL with those bad boys

I did the same thing. For others wanting to do the same, it is not a 100% drop in; there will be a gap between the bottom of this shift knob and the ITS lock nut; either go aftermarket lock nut + retaining clip, or if you’re weird about keeping it OEM (🙋‍♂️ me), will have to get FK8 lock nut and...
