- Learn how to install aftermarket seats in your car. In this video I install bucket racing seats in my car for more side support, safety, and comfort on the track and on the road. I cover everything you will encounter when installing racing seats from using floor mounting brackets and side mount brackets, how to route the seatbelt (and future harnesses), and more!

After I drive with these seats at a track event and a few days on the street going to be doing a few updates and a live Q&A about the seats on my Instagram so be sure to follow me!!! instagram.com/chrisfixit/
ChrisFix when are you gonna strip the interiour
chris are yoy giong to turbo charge or super charge the stang ! ?
I talk about that in the video!
ChrisFix ok:)
ChrisFix finally
Like so he can do *_How to install a Steering Wheel_*
Savage Nation he did, when be did the recovering of his old one.
Savage Nation thats the most easiest thing to change in your car i guess... I made for my mom a steering wheel from a steering wheel for gaming... Just the steer and the buttons (A,X,Y,B) are for her gps... Phone... Radio... And stuff like that it was fun and hard to make but now she has a nice ass xbox steering wheel :)
and that xbox steering wheel is strong enough for a car crash and has an airbag?
it doesnt has an air bag and idk butthere are a lot of wheels without an airbag xD and idk if its trong enough... my mom drives safe so she wont fly off the road... she only could get hitted by a truck... xD
wow that's a REALLY bad idea. Gaming wheels are made of plastic and not made to withstand actual road driving forces. Car steering wheels have a metal core inside the rim to withstand road forces, but also break away in case of impact. If you love your mom I would put that steering wheel back to stock ASAP.
I don't even own a car.I just love his vids
Me to.
Same
Me too bro, me too
Same I’m 13
Ethan Moyes hi 13 im ThePink Lover
Can't wait for the roll cage
where is the video!?
@@erikelvegard3265 you see rollcage is probably not an easy mod and he wants to do some other mods like gutting the interior before that
@@erikelvegard3265 Ja, roll cage install please!
Still waitin
Still waitin
Wow Bro,
I have no intention of racing or driving on a track. Now that you've shown how to use the stock seat belts, I'm going to replace the worn out seats in my S10 with these seats. Thanks!
Have you bought seats yet?! Hahaha I wanna see !!
@@hairlessape4863 People should know it's pretty impractical, it removes the seat airbags if you have any, makes it much harder to get in and out of, depending on how deep it goes. Also, on average they're pretty snug and made for more athletic builds. All that, plus the costs, and you can see why they're not that common, these seats in the video are $800 each.
@@georgerosebush9754 yeah Chevy s10’s definitely don’t have seat airbags so I don’t think that’s a issue
You actually did the conversion to metric system!
#Respect.
I care about all my subs in the USA and world wide!
thx for the metric system
He da real MVP
E-Reviews check out the channel called repairvehical. his really good mechanic.
I gotta say, your attention to detail and presentation skills are top-notch. This was an epic video.
Thanks a lot!
@@chrisfix it's been 3 years where the cage
@@chrisfix ITS BEEN 3 YEARS
@@chrisfix Wheres the cafe
I think later on you should install the cage
1:46 in the bottom right corner "driftstang takes on a crowd" 😂😂😂

Hey Chris, just wanted to let you know that on the radio today, the hosts were talking about things they've learned from CZcams, and one of the guys had said they watched one of your videos to fix the starter on his truck :) keep up the awesome work buddy!
GoodToMyself yo that's sick!! nice job Chris!
Cole Varden what...
One can always dream.
GoodToMyself for

the back seat are fine the backseat is ok
The backseat is not for driving but if you also want comftable seats at the back you can.”
yeah. xD
Ali Mohammed Dib lifeofboris..nice
He's going to remove the backseats for a roll cage
Please upload more, I need my Chris "Fix"
robo tiger sadly I'm not sure I'm bisexual but I have a girlfriend :) come up with something that is actually an insult
something about being a gay furry, i don't remember it wasn't important :P
same
I love to imagine Chris' neighbor's point of view.
" There's that weird ass kid again always wearing that damn helmet talking to himself and point at some fucking chairs on his driveway. Fucking weirdo...."
Aldrig Sige more like a weird 40 year old.
Aldrig Sige He's in his 20s lol
Aldrig Sige lmaooo 😂 never thought of that
I always think of that in his vids 😁 not to be mean or anything but yeah I wonder what his neighbors think too
:D
I changed the playback speed to 0.75 and this man be talking at a regular speed. Now I know why I love the videos, this information feels naturally compressed: zero wasted air. I'm learning so much about cars and I think I'm starting to get a taste for loving your vehicle, even though it's a cheap Honda Jazz 2018, it's mine and I can take care of it. Thank you Chris!
I have no intention of ever doing this and I loved it! I could tell you were very excited to get the new seats! Thanks for another awesome video!
Howdy Chris! Hope the seats are treating you well! Your channel, so far, has saved not only myself, but also my girlfriend over $1,000 this year alone in repair costs. From restoring headlights to changing oil and tires, and so, so much more.
I was wondering if you plan on doing a "super clean your interior" video, since you have one for the exterior and automotive glass (both tactics, by the way, are awesome).
Matt D'Angeli great idea!
Awesome that is what I love hearing! Glad the videos are helpful! I need to find a car with a dirty interior so I can make a video on how to super clean it!
Chris... Other ytbers does vids like this but get a clean car and clean it again
so u dont see a difference
but u loom for filthy cars and clean them or fix them.
ChrisFix if you want too. My 1992 Mazda Miata has a VERY dirty interior such as stains and damp carpets to a crusty steering wheel haha. I live in toms river New Jersey so it's not a far drive and I think my car would be a great car for the video idea of super cleaning an interior! Please email me at ***** or Dm me on Instagram @mazdarati.jp if you'd like to come out and do it!
A good guy for this is Larry at his yputube page Ammonyc.
Do a video on weight reduction?
Yes!
ChrisFix nice! Can't wait, really like your videos!
Don't eat so much and exercise
I would watch the hell out of that video.
also, while i know little about drifting weight bias is as important as reduction and those mustangs are nose heavy. love your channel!
Ive been waiting three years for a roll cage and a 6 point seatbelt for 3 and a half years man!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHh, i love your videos btw
Still waiting ;(
I remember when I was first watching you three years ago wanting my own car, just two days ago I finally got my own and am working on it thank you man your vids have helped me so much
Love the fact that you are a perfectionist
Never clicked on a video faster.
Awesome! New record?
when are you going on the track chrisfix
ChrisFix probably yeah :D ur the only car youtuber i can watch for long. Like this video ur just putting in a couple of race seats but i didn't get bored at all was just exited for 20 minutes. (Y)
I love how excited and passionate you are about cars.
I love who much work you put in and you're a very big inspiration to me because I'm only 9 and you are making me more confident in doing car upgrades when I'm older. I would quite like to have a lot of tips from you as I grow up. Thank you so much ChrisFix.
Please be careful on the internet at your age. You’d be 13 now but you still have to be careful. Thanks.
i like how u have 8 mil subs in the video at 1:44
One day!
xD
lol
YOU DIDNT NOTICE IT WAS 8675309?!?!
wat
Chris .. how about if you transform the interior color to black??? Black and Red would be sick!!!
Can't wait to show us how to do it.
Even if youre not installing racing seats. This is so good to know if you need to replace your seat and/or seat belt. I didn't realize its not difficult if you have the right tool.
I love watching these video's. Being a fellow Chris makes them that much better. Although I'm sure my age is more in line with being a parent. I know it may sound strange but I love the click when the bolt hits the target tightness, when using a torque wrench. I think of it as the sound of success!!
when i saw the fire extinguisher,i thought like "holy crap its NOS".
Buscar mine is
A NOS can wouldve been installed near the center console
Same
you don’t have NOS in the front of the fucking car idiot
llSaltyLemonll Jesus christ it's a joke
Exceptional DIY video. I've been wanting to have racing/buckets seats in my car for a long time and wasn't able to see it for myself until I encountered this video. Definitely learned something as I'm not a DIYer. You make it look so simple and easy especially with the entire walk through, step by step process. Definitely a plus with the narration too.
Why are you the only CZcamsr that can explain so good that even a 14 year old can tune a car with your videos XD
Thanks a lot!
Its so satisfying to see the car grow more and more
Excited to see the roll cage
Which is more satisfying; when Chris says Good or Perfect? This is tearing me apart.
M de Sa gay
should totally do a video on how to clean the interior of your car
What is so awesome is that i went to that store on a trip and got a personal tour of what they do! It was awesome!
My aunt had a red car sitting in her ranch so I decided to look at it and it was a Mazda rx7 gsl, it broken down and needs new seats I’m looking at vids to fix the car and this helped me so much thank you man for posting this type of videos
any one notice the 8.6 million subs when he show the video of buying racing seats
I saw
ATFASTR_67 and coilovers equals next video :)
It's 867-5309. like the song
He is from the future that's why!
ATFASTR_67 I did
You just can't beat the genuine excitement in his voice. So awesome to watch
ChrisFix the only channel I can watch starting at installing a racing seat to ending up at Joanns Fabric like I need more customization.
Hey dude I just wanna say, your videos are so clean and organized and you can really tell u truly lmk what you’re talking about
Chris, I love your videos. You always take things beyond the basics but with good explanations.
it's so exciting to see this stang step by step becomes a monster
Best teacher on CZcams for automotive projects! Keep up the great work Chris!
Wow 2m Congratulations
Old subscriber here...
Greatest King i do
Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it and thanks for the long term support!
ChrisFix i love how you've gained millions of subs & you still respond to each and every subscriber #respect
ChrisFix my first video was how to change front and rear brake pads and rotor and since then thanks to that super educational and well spoken video.
i change brakes on all my families cars.. just did my moms brakes 2 days ago
Greatest King same here
I'm learning so much watching these videos, they're excellent! Thank you!
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you’re learning a lot!
Up to the best
Chris: “ it’s the reverse of what we just did”
Me: *sells the seats and dies*
Ricky Anderson I. Don’t get it
@@juanafaded3737 r/wooosh!
@donutdoode69 no
@Ali Mohammed Dib yes it is
The thing I love about him is after three years HE STILL LIKES COMMENTS WHAT A LEGEND!!
No he doesn’t it’s sad bro
Anyone else notice at 1:45 he changed his Subscribers to "8675309". Just like the song we all love.
KurtVagnor I saw other people point out the 8 million but you're right, that is awesome hahaha
Haha, yeah. I noticed people were not quite catching what the full joke was. Had to point it out
what song?
William Corcoran. 8675309/Jenny
ralph longo look at up next videos lol at 1.43
I haven't watched the whole thing but I know it's gonna be a good video Chris :D
Thanks man!
ChrisFix You have no idea how long I kept checking my phone for this video Chris lol finally :)
ChrisFix your vids is always so good
KILLA same lol
This is gonna be the roughest part when I buy a project car because I'm 6ft 9 and I've yet to find a sedan or coupe I can drive comfortably. Also thx for givin me something to watch while I'm stuck inside, you're keeping me sane!
i saw the exhaust video first i must say those wheels are adding soo much looks amazing
I think so too!
Change the steering wheel
Javier Jose Fernandez he made is own costom wheel with genuine leather
Javier Jose Fernandez He has an Nrg
That editing is spot on
Thank you so much for including the metric measurements!
Man your just simply the best ChrisFix
great video! supporter from brazil !
Thanks for the support all the way from Brazil!
of course! thanks for replying! keep up the good work!
gabriel silva hue
i Love how much time you put into Your videos ❤👍
+NC3! Thanks!
you made my day ✌👍
NC3! Right
Im a kid and i didn’t know what i wanted to be when i grew up, then i found him and the first video i watched from him was fixing the mustang’s/driftstang’s fuel pump, and i knew instantly what I wanted to be when i grew up, thank you Chrisfix.
This was so satisfying to watch, great job my dude :D
Get a new steering wheel
I thought the same thing too and I scrolled down and saw your comment lol
Garchompy _ I recommend a Momo or grip royal
He bought one, but he is installing it when he haves a roll cage.
Garchompy _ he has a quick release racing wheel he is going to install
At this point he can swap the steering wheel at the track, and back again.
THANKYOU FOR ADDING KILOGRAMS
Thanks Chris for the installation guide it helped me a lot 😼
im not really into cars. I mean im not even 18 . But you make me like jdm more and more. Keep up the good work
9:28 *You know what I like more than materialistic Things?? KNOWLEDGE!!!*
Which is why I make these videos! Knowledge shared to millions of people around the world!!!!
:D
Lamborghinis on my Lamborghini shelf.
lol
the camera angles this guy gets are perfect everytime
For god sake Chris! Do some weight reduction in that mustang!!!
YES!!! Stay tuned!
perfect
ChrisFix is it possible to have a six point harness with a roll cage while still keeping the back seats available for passengers? Or no, once you add a roll cage the car can only hold 2 people.
Leslie H. its possible but it depends on the car and also the welding roll cage design.
In a 2 door like the Mustang, it'd be pretty much impossible. In a four door though, it'd definitely be doable
Love your vids you should do one that includes the airbag sensor and wire
You teach me so much I love your videos I still watch them to this day do another series❤️
That’s awesome. Check out the new BMW endurance race car series: czcams.com/play/PLvKbarVtwhUtEqA_EvSQyauv9gyI3WjNH.html
@@chrisfix NO WAY NO WAY OMG YESSSS NO WAYYY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Your "AWW MAN" makes my day :D
2:15 anyone else see the sad face on the seat?
lol
It looks like it want a hug.
REAL ATM HACK A SMALL LOAN OF A BILLION DOLLARS!
haha!!!
Agent Tickle OH I see
great job man, I needed this video so much.
Man I genuinely love your vids!
ChrisFix is love, ChrisFix is life!
I've been patiently waiting a month for this video!
Mann your editting is too good..i love that you dont over do it
He has inspired me so much to drift that I am going go karting for 4 hours just to practice drifting for later years
Get a racing steering wheel
No.
22SV. why would he get a new steering wheel when he just made his new again
22SV He has an Nrg
k5aholic 87 Because it doesn't match the look of the seats and it's probably a disadvantage in trying to do smooth transitions I rather get a Nardi steering wheel I think it would match the stang nicely.
DANK MEMES No its because the wheel has no airbags so he wants to take his car on a trailer to the track incase of an accident driving the car to the track
#respectforcanadachrisfix
Thanks for converting to the metric system!
No problem!
Man! Chris loves that Craftsman swivel ratchet
Very informative, clear, and concise video. Thanks
Your editing is awesome Chris, keep up the great work! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thanks a lot
notification squad where you at??
#ChrisFixDriftTeam
I just realised your videos are perfect for wrapping your head around how to do things like this. For example a 13 year old who happens to aspire to do this one day, they would have no idea how to do this without any prior knowledge or experience with tools or bolts. But with these videos they would be able to understand how to do it without that prior experience.
Or middle aged women who have never touched tools before…
You know, i just got myself a car, i'm a little too tall for, so my "headroom" is way to small, i can't sit straight upright..
I already set the height of the stock seat to the lowest possible setting, but it's still an inch or so too high for me...
So i spent a lot of time looking for possible solutions to gain some space between my head and the ceiling and the best solution i came up with, would be exchanging the height-adjustable stock seat with a rigid seat, to gain the height, the "height-adjustable-part" takes away..
pretty much the same, what you did...
My biggest issue: i only got very little knowledge about cars, so a spend a lot of time looking, for a way, to implement it right... without success, until i found your video!
Dude, you literally covered everything up, i needed to know!
And with that floor mount bracket, apart from other measurements, you can mount pretty much any car seat in that car right?
2 Million subs! Congrats!!!!
I'm so glad you are going full roll cage with 6 point harnesses. That is the best setup. Very safe and smart. Also please *use a HANS Device when drifting with a helmet and the harnesses. You don't want to break your neck like Dale Earnhardt :(*
Yes! I want to do it right not only for my own safety but to show everyone the right way to do it... I already got this neck-restraint: amzn.to/2r5Ky8i
This. I see way too many racing seat/harness installs with no rollover protection of any kind. That's just asking for a broken neck in a crash.
ChrisFix Awesome! I see way too many people using 4-Point Harnesses with Harness Bars (no full cage) without a HANS device. That is a death trap. I'm glad you are going with the safest setup; being a role model to people about safety equipment. By the way, love the videos; they are such high quality and informative. Keep it up!
These videos are very satisfying
All of this is very good because when I grow up I am getting a Toyota ae86 trueno for a drift club and I will do all of this on it
best youtube for cars.keep it up chris
Thanks a lot!
Hurry up and upload a track video! Like if you cant wait to see a drift vid!
Once the coilovers go in!
Awesome man! Keep up the great work! Cant wait for more!
ChrisFix And you did it :)
I love you're video so much Chrisfix
this is literally my favorite channel xxx

Chrisfix: buys new 1300$ racing seats...breaks them right away
Chris, where did you get the fire extinguisher and bracket setup from? I want to put one on my truck, but I don't want to have to bolt into the plastic on the wall behind my seat.
Here you go: (link to the extinguisher is in the description and I show how to install it in the video) czcams.com/video/jPfM3NpRAfQ/video.html
