where are you talking about?

they fit perfectly in the back, and also on the outer sides (near the doors)

the only hole they dont fit into is the one near the tunnel in the middle, and thats because that not a seatbelt hole...

thats for the stock seat bracket, the stock seatbelts clips are mounted on the actual brackets themselves.

the tunnel holes in the middle are hte ones i was talking about, where I originally had it bolted in with regular bolts. We got the eye bolts to fit in them.

im sure you noticed it but the original bolt that goes there is small, then gets bigger. My friend gary came up with the idea of retapping it with the right size tap and cleaning the threads. So we tapped it with a 7/16th bit with fine threads i think that was it, and he got it working!

we attempted to get it to work before doing that for a while too lol, then he just came up with the idea out of no where!

heres a pic

i wont be converting back to my stock seats unless its like a temporary thing, but i can still use the 4 bolts. If you do it the way i had it the first time it will pinch your clip so it might knida mess it up so try not to tighten it too much

I don't ever plan on selling it because I plan on using it as a track car, hopefully not the daily soon lol. I have too much pride to give it up, and the car itself was a graduation gift from my lovely parents, so if I was going to get rid of it I'd give it back to them.

haha I am pretty fortunate! I love my parents!

I think the next thing we're doing is installing a walbro 255 lph fuel pump, then... its tune time! I just got new NGK Iridium 1 step colder spark plugs, 4 quarts of royal purple 5w-30 oil, and that will be put in about a week before retune.

After retune I am going to be trying to sell my seats so I can get Bride low max bucket seats.

^^ thank you curtis!

the positive and negative are waterproof, right now I have them disconnected because if I left it hooked up it would be easy for someone to fry my electrical system. The kill switch is hooked up though, part of the reason I got it was so I can run my car at the track to pass tech
