Vu, have you tried using the 2nd hole on front and rear post? I'm fairly happy with seating posture with the 3rd hole front and rear just wanting to sit slightly lower.
I have. It does work, but the 2nd hole in the front leans it too far forward for my tastes and offers a little less thigh support.
Thanks, I'll have to at around with it. Not sure if keeping the front on the 3rd and going to the 2nd on the back would lean the seat back to much for my taste or not, just wanted to make sure I'd still be able to slide the seat forwards and backwards and not have it hit anything...

Chet and Vu. What buckle are you using ?

Ah ok, I got lost in translation, it wasn't my thread it was "hkchung113" thread.
I see what you did now.
I'm ordering my seat belt extender today, and will follow your lead on getting that puppy mounted right!

For continuity, here's what I ordered, and my plan of action based on your success:

http://4extender.com/

this is where i bought mine. works like a charm. took the stock seatbelt clip and cut it right above the bend and then drilled the hole that is used to ziptie the seatbelt wire bigger so itll accept the bolt. that metal is hardened steel of some sort, i had to use a cut off wheel to cut it and went through multpile drill bits to get it to the proper size.

Oh and does your set up still squeeze the buckle against the tranny tunnel to the point that the seat is hard to adjust due to the buckle touching the tranny tunnel.

I'd suggest adjusting the seat to where its comfortable for you the driver whilst maintaining proper visibility over the dash/hood. As for the seat belt buckles, here's a little tip I learned from Joey - use Integra seat belt receptacles - they go straight up & dont bend inward like the S2K. I bought a set of ITR receptacles from him, but the regular Integra receptacles are the same. You can get this from a junkyard rather cheap.

Nope, smooth movement front to back, full range of adjustment available.

Got my sidemount positions perfect tonight.
The seat feels sooo much better, my back does too!
Amazing what a difference few degrees of angle can make!

Got my first drive in the twisties with the Recaro in! Still adjusting to the foreign feel of a new seat. Will take some getting used to, but I already feel more secure in the seating position with the Recaro vs. OEM seat.

Now just waiting for my special seat belt extension to arrive, shipped from NY, arriving in 4 days!

Installed my seat belt extender yesterday. I no longer need to be double jointed to buckle up. Sucks because I was thinking of joining the circus.

Did you modify the stock buckle or did you do something different?
