Re: Swapping out passenger bucket for standard seat
I feel bad for my hasty response, suggesting you swap her out.... After further reflection... perhaps if you attach a picture of the pinched legs... we would be able to provide a more objective solution...

My 20st work colleague never complains when he sits in the front seat of my car (because he cant fit in the back)

Re: Swapping out passenger bucket for standard seat
Not like an Aussie to worry about his woman's comfort in his car, put a mattress in your Avant, that will keep her quiet

Re: Swapping out passenger bucket for standard seat
1. buy Rs4
2. make her sit in the seat for a couple of weeks...I bet she will get over it real quick
3. if she does continue to put up a fuss, start seeking a swap+cash with someone with comfort seats
The B6/7 S4 came with the Recaro comfort seats that we have in the RS4. No white piping is the only difference really. The RS4 comforts say 'RS4' on the back rest, whereas the B67 S4 seats say 'RECARO'.
Someone will pay $4000+comforts for buckets over here. In Australia, that would probably mean 5000-7000 AUD. That's what I'd do if I were you.
Reality? She will likely learn to like the buckets so this will all be for naught.

Re: Swapping out passenger bucket for standard seat
Five easy steps bud.
1 - Get her to waddle into the bedroom and grab the plank you strap on your ass when its her birthday and you have to do your duty
2 - Get a sturdy bench for her to perch on when she gets back - she clearly gonna need a rest after this much exercise
3 - After an hour and she caught her breath get those swinging hipncankles chugging on over to the nearest bathroom to fetch the vaseline
4 - maybe put a half dozen sammiches (I believe you lot prefer vegimite) by the bench for her next rest - she must be pooped
5 - apply a generous coating of vaseline on the seats and the doorframe, maybe on her ass too if you got a big enough tub, get her ready, and in one swift movement with the plank you can lever her in there !!
She should now be fully in the car and ready for a spin in one of the great driving machines that your Holden and Ute driving neighbours wont understand does have an interior that includes plastic, but for once unlike a wheelie bin lid styled in crayon by a playgroup !! Pure win !!
Oh and you might wanna keep some of the sammiches spare to tempt her back out the car when you finished down at weightwatchers !!
Good luck buddy.

Re: Swapping out passenger bucket for standard seat
Quite possibly. More noise less backchat kind of idea. That is not an open door for tubertons to take refuse in my car.coffey555 wrote:He does, you just can't hear him over the induction noise!
Op, get an induction kit and a milly and the only whine you hear will be the engine.
