make sure about the rail thing. I have and hf and always wanted the si seats. I found some mint (and I mean mint!) si seats from some guy for 100 bucks shipped. I then went to the junkyard and got some si rails, guess what, nothing fit. The si rails would fit to the seat, but one of the holes in the back wouldn't line up to the floor. I tried modifying my old hf rails, that didn't work out to well. Im gonna have to end up bolting a 1 and 1 half inch high block of metal to the floor and attach the seat to that. Then im gonna have to drill a hole and attach some si seat belt clips so I have seat belts. (hf's had the seat belt clip on the rail, and they wont swap over to the si rails.) Anyways, just make sure you do all the measuring right or you'll be stuck without a passenger seat like me and a pissed off girlfriend. 
hehe. Agreed. I can't wait to move back to Cali!

yeah they fit, im using my old rails and im putting them on the ex seats. or i mean i did put them on, just cleaning the car now. all of the bolts fit in the same spot (for the seats) and it looks nice. and ill be doing the tranny swap this weekend if all goes well with the weather and other stuff. he hee.
