infernosg's S5 N/A Build

infernosg · 02-16-2012, 09:37 AM

I haven't really worked on the car since before the holidays but I'm back into it shortly.

Picked up a OMP WRC seat w/ brackets and a Sparco 345 Steering wheel w/ hub adaptor yesterday. I test fitted the seat in the car and it still seems too high to me. My head is about 3/4" from the headliner so I fear there won't be enough space with a helmet. I plan on cutting out the stock seat mounting locations and mounting the seat directly to the floor. This should get me about 1-1/4" more headroom. Question is, will I screw something up by cutting these out?
