:lol:

Finally found something about that system.. It's even more mad jdm than I had imagined - looks like there's some kind of controller for each seat as well? :shock:

:? WTF?
I now need to get the rest of the gear and get this working :lol:

Vibrating seat massage in time with Barry White's dulcet tones milady? :hurr:

:twisted: Or full on 'brown sound' experience? :lol:


EDIT:
The OEM page for the updated version of it...

Google translate chucked a wobbler - anyone speak japanese? :lol:

That's £900 at today's exchange rate. But that's a bit meaningless without adjusting for inflation.

EDIT EDIT:
Sadly :oops: :facepalm: I found somewhere on the internet that could adjust the Yen for inflation from 1993 to 2014 and then I converted that to GBP today...
Guess what the result was?
Yep - about £900 :lol:

It's a lot of sales spiel.

Can be fitted to any car and removed if you change to another car.
Greater aesthetics because it's all hidden.
The main point they are going for is that it changes how you experience the music by transmitting at a range that the human ear can't detect, but you can feel it through your skin and hair, so you get a more complete, real experience as if you were there in the music.

What system have you got because there are the kinds that have an additional vibrator in the seat base and those that have them built into the speakers. You can pretty much tell that from the pictures though.

Re: 1995 White BB4 Si Vtec - Random jdm bum droppings found

Another nice find with the wiring on this car;
Image
:o :roll:
(Yes, the fuse was still in that and it was just rolling around inside the centre console)

Reason for this was...
Short shifter to go in, from the breaker 8-)

Small changes today.

From this (Momo Fighter with KW steering boss);

To this (Momo Tuner with Daikei steering boss);
Image
Image
(Crap light this afternoon :roll: )


The Fighter wheel is absolutely lovely, feels nicer than the Tuner tbh (the dimpled leather grips are sooo nice) but just doesn't look right in the car IMO.
It would suit a 5th gen with wood trim, or look excellent in an MX-5 @ted ? ;)

Another win was that I always thought the old wheel sat too far out towards the driver, found that was because it had 2 spacer rings between the old wheel and old boss. Much nicer distance now 8-)
