Bride Zeta III install

SD 05 STi · 12-11-2006, 09:50 PM

Here's a request for aftermarket seat installation.

I recently purchased a Zeta III seat and am looking for instructions as to how people have done theirs, but I couldn't really find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

On a scale of 1-10, how hard would this install be?

Pics would be great.

Thanks.

this is for an '05 btw.

3/10

the hardest part is getting the stock seat out of the car without scratching anything

and attach the seatbelt clip to the bride bracket before you put the seat on, it will make things alot easier

It is not that bad. Me and my friend installed the evo recaro in about 4hours. Hardest part is to pull the seat sensor on the passenger side (maybe I am doing it wrong though).
(4/10)

alright cool. how many sensors are there? i actually ended up finding a write up for an '06 install after i posted this, and it had 4 sensors (yellow clips) at the bottom of the seat. does that '05 have this as well? the only ones i could think of were the airbag sensor, and the seatbelt sensor.

also, how does the seatbelt attach to the bride? do i simply unbolt the seatbelt from the stock seat, and take that entire assembly (belt and bracket) and attach it to the Bride? is there a hole on the seat for it?

sorry for all the questions.

thanks.

I did a full interior swap alone in 2 hours, swapping seats takes does not take long at all...

For an 06, I think they have other wires to worry about, but for an 05 its cake.

Like Renee said, watch out because it very easy to scratch up the panels.
