In Chapter 1, I wrote about my replica Sparco Fighter. Well, although I enjoyed relatively good headroom, as time goes on, the seats emit some weird squeaking plastic shrieking sound. Initially I thought it was due to the rails but it turns out to be the seat itself. I went to ask a few people and got a good lecture from someone about the replica seat. Apparently, these replica seats are a serious danger hazard to anyone who decides to sit on it. The risk is multiplied when you belongs to the heavier group. Due to the poor quality, the seat might snap on impact and the sharp edges of the seat may just impale your vital organs in an accident.
So, I decided to get the seat out of my car and look for a long term solution. At the end of the day, I got myself a SSCUS Viper. Well, I use it with the SSCUS rails and brackets and feel rather uncomfortable as the headroom is now reduced (as compared to earlier). In other words, I'm sitting closer to the roof as opposed to away from it. Dang, defeats the purpose.Mind you, the SSCUS subframe which I use is supposed to be made lower.
So I took out the SSCUS subframe and use my previously customized bracket. Viola. Problem solved.
