Last season I went to a drift event, went off track, flew through the air sideways and landed awkwardly on my seat and broke it, and almost my back while im at it, so to everyone I recomend get proper seat or at least a harness and a harness bar, it hurts lol. :lol: What happened is I though the recliner broke, but I actually snapped some welds in the frame of the seat, wow. Anyway I left it outside my hosue for half a year and this is what happened, an angry squirrel family nested on it and fed off nissan foam and cloth. ![http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03967.jpg](http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03967.jpg) Taking a closer look, when the seat snapped under me, the welds actually snapped, if the back support actually slipped back the bottom mounts could stab through your back… lol ![http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03968.jpg](http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03968.jpg) and some more… ![http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03965.jpg](http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03965.jpg) with a light push the whole rear part of the seat came out of the holes where the welds snapped and twisted out of place under my weight at track… ![http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03970.jpg](http://xs71.xs.to/pics/06103/dsc03970.jpg) lol, i even made a video cause I was bored… [http://24.137.215.78/MOV03969.zip](http://24.137.215.78/MOV03969.zip) right click save-as or save link as in firefox and yeah there were no squirrels, i just got bored and took it apart out of curiousity what broke, i have the top part that zips and and the foam no rips its in ok condition, 10 bucks obo… 1. ---

This is why I will always stress having an FIA approved Seat if you go the after market route or even decide you want a bucket for track use… Glad to hear your okay thou 😉 ---

actually, that is VERY common with 89 s13 seats i’ve owned many pairs and 90% of them have had that happen, and i DONT beat on them at all lol, it’s mostly because the seat is only held up right by one side of the seat the other side is a simple hinge so all the of the job of keepint the back upright is done by the side with the recline mechanism… so if your not a tiny guy like me any sort of real weight on them could cause this. . good to see nissan cared so much for our saftey with these… ---
