Really nice 7G, great job.
Well one of the great perks in working in a race shop is that you get some sweet hookups and deals. I got these near mint Evo 8 Recaros for a insane deal...and now they are both in -G-rim.
These seats truly enhance the driving position and feel of the car...I Heart them!

very nice and i have to agree. i love the recaros in my car too, they really do enhance it
Dear Kevin,
One day soon I will have my masters and I'll be able to pull in some dough, until then, I'll just sit back and live vicariously through your mods... whilst hating and being UBER jealous.
Looks sick man. Glorious upgrade from the S seats, yes?

Oh geez John...I am envious of your 7g
The "S" (stock) seats are utter garbage compared to the Evo Recaros.....no comparison at all.
The Recaros really and honestly give a car a much more better feel. They are way lighter compared to the stock seats. Seating position definitely gives more driver to car connection.
My arm and hand postion is 100x's more better for the shifter and steering as also my legs and feet for the pedals.
Not to mention these seats look dead sexy in the 7g

Awsome writeup man. Very inspiring to see such a transformation take place. Keep up the good work. I think its time to ge outside and work on my G.
Nice job, did you ever figure out if the rear seats fit? And was it just a change of the rail?
looking good g-rim.. If you come across another set, let me know :) Ill make a trip up there for those....

How much are you willing to spend bro? I know a couple guys selling their Evo seats.

on second thought.. I see a few going on ebay for about 400.00.... I got other plans for the 7g first, but Iam still interested in the exhaust setup from xtreme.
Do they only work from the cat back or do they do downpipes too?

Well yesterday my boy Mike who owns a white 7g currently rolling with 19's and just 5 speed swapped, went out to the salvage yard yesterday to pick up a few little things for our 7g's and maybe find something cool. Well we came across a 94 7g I believe and we were taking random parts off it and unknowingly realized something different from its side view mirrors. Denver (Qnzmostwanted) is the only other person that has owned a 7g that had mentioned these mirrors and up till yesterday NEVER seen this part on a 7g. Either he was pulling my leg or this is some super rare USDM 7g part.
Well..the part Denver had on his old 7g was non power folding mirrors. I thought these never existed...till yesterday. Apparently a very tiny milli percent of 7g's in 94 were imported from Japan. Why do I say this..because the 7g we pulled these mirrors off of had a VIN# starting with a J which means it was built in Japan. There were other things about this 7g which would indicate it was "higher quality" since it was built in Japan, like the dash board. The dash was MINT and my boy can vouch for me also. No fading and no seperation of the material in ANY part of the dash...it looked brand spanking new!!
ANYWAYS...these are authentic Non Power JDM folding mirrors for the 7g :mrgreen: 8-)
USDM "fixed" side mirror assembly (TOP) vs. JDM non power folding side mirror assembly (BOTTOM)
JDM (Left) USDM (Right)
Mirror installed on the car
Mirror folded
The JDM folding mirrors have a different shape than the USDM and actually "flow" better with the 7g's curved body shape.
The mirror is definitely smaller than the USDM mirror assembly...so I would say I lost about 15-20% visual coverage from the USDM mirror was was wider.

So i'm wondering where you got the upper control arms from. needing a pair myself.
Yup, I snagged those non-power folding mirrors from a j-yard in Virginia. I like the shape of them much better then USDM.
They look cool painted.

7g for life!
Lawrence...my fiance bought those forged aluminum control arms for my birthday. I know they run for around $400
I just applied some plastic polish on mine for now...I am thinking of getting my car painted sometime soon. I am thinking it may be a xmas gift from my family this year.
