- Can a proper JDM fixed back seat make you drive faster? Today we're going to find out!
We imported some expensive seats from Japan, then compared them with some we found on Facebook Marketplace, with a racing expert also weighing in to give their opinion.
Along the way, one car will modified with loads of cash, and the other one will be modified with parts found from dumpster diving, recyclers, second hand parts or the cheapest parts we can find.
Thank you to Import Monster for importing the seats from Japan for us

Thank you to our expert Josh Buchan for being our expert in this episode

Marty just drastically improved his power to weight just by vacuuming the carpet
The Suzuki is shaping up nicely! But the Peugbro has a soft spot in everyone's heart simply because it's just thrash and everyone can relate being poor AF trying to mod a car. Loving this series guys, keep up the good work!
I usually back the underdog but when it's a Peugeot I have zero interest 😂
I'd love to see at the end of the series a comparison of the cost for the Swift in total compared to your other builds! At this rate, it's gonna be more than the Fairlady!
I'd like to see the end of this series too.
at this point already you can buy at least 2 unmod swifts for the modded swift money, or a heapload of peogpoops
They keep mentioning swift's racing achievements. I remember peugeot crushing rallies.
@@m2ger8 Peugeot was a legend back then
Agreed, this would be very interesting
A pet peeve of mine is when stock seats with rails attached is compared to a fixed back seat with no rail. Put the bloody rail on the fixed back seat before you weigh it or take the rail off the stock seat.
Tru
That's just what I was going to say. Compare apples to apples...
glad i wasnt the only one who noticed!
total B***Sh** comparison. How much of the weight is in the metal rails????
"Cat-fur flavoured chairs of winning"
-Marty FTW, 2023
These 206 seats are actually really comfy and give a good amount of support. For 100bucks a pair a complete steal. Had them in a nice red 206cc rc edition. Still miss that thing, but is really not the car to have when you have a family...
yep, they say 4 seats but it's more 2 and a half
@@kermitahnenerbe3722 Yeah, those back seats in a 206cc would only fit a small child, without a seat - that however would be illegal in my home country of germany, which makes them basically pointless except for tossing a backpack on them...
The folding roof never had any issues, which always makes me giggle when I see much more expensive cars that have issues with them.
The 2l 16V engine was fun to rev, only really coming to live above 3000rpm. However the (original) really low profile wheels were a noisy uncomfortable pain to drive, so I stuck to the cheap alloys I originally got for winters...
It really is funny to me that in australia a standard 206 is a rare care to have, while they are still very common over here. And even good ones are rather cheap.
Yeah these seats are mad
@@maltesartor711 France here, 206cc are cheap. you wait winter for better price
BRIDE still gonna be far better for go-fasty stuff. For me I found the 180 seat didn't have quite enough side support, have to "tuck the elbow".
Hi Martin, Hi Moog, I did a bit of my own Cash vs trash from your exhaust episode, my exhaust system was completely rotted away so I took Marty’s route and built my own system using scrap pipe I test drove it and the results were phanominal, thank you guys for all your car knowledge and awesome videos, one of your biggest fans from Toronto Canada.
Hell yeah, homie! Great to see people getting out there, and working on their cars.
_Phanominal_
@@samteks125 Sensational
Those RC seats are a piece of art
Probably the best value he couldve gotten, however they still sit too high
They are so comfy
Yeah especially for a 20 year old Peugeot, or any hatchback really, wouldn't think they would have been that nice. You could put them into new car and they wouldve looked the part imo
@@Vespastendert +1, after a 12 hours road trip pretty sure with the bride your back and butt are gonna be painful lol
Actualy the rc seats is the thing the every 206 owner is hunting for😁
Marty’s a legend for keeping muffy’s hair on the seat!
I thought it was Bella
@@2qwik4u I would imagine that muffy is a cat like a skippy is a kenguru
$5000 is a hard sell unless you have money to burn or a purpose built race car. Quite curious to see what Marty would build if he had Moog's budget, seems like Marty usually has to make the most of what can be found or fabricated. The difference in resources and adaptability is making me root for the Peugeot more every episode - hope you can pull it off Marty!
don't forget eventually the seats can come out and go into some other car, so it could be a pretty long-term investment
Also there's no way they're road-legal, I don't even think you can get them engineered.
@@eTiMaGo Makes sense if they are a life long investment.
@@ChristopherHallett So only OEM swaps are legal? I've been trying to find an answer
Just buy one for 2500?
I'm loving the Peugbro, great series boys!
I still wish he got the GTI...
@@creevey82 if he'd gotten the GTI......the swift wouldn't stand a chance
Who the hell buys 5000$ seats fuck that then put em in Suzuki who mods a Suzuki is that a thing it's a girl car
Awesome series! Still the best offroading channel on CZcams!
Greetings from the Netherlands
jaman helemaal mee eens.
I from the Nederland tho i drive gti 206 i love this
Heuuuj! Holland! 🎉
Roken is dodelijk!
@@samteks125 Peugeot bestuurders zijn ook dodelijk
Love the series but I would like if they finally acknowledged the 206 and Peugeot racing pedigree
I thought Moog was going to say like 1,200$ or 2,700$ for those seats, but 5,000$ damn, that's a lot of money!
Not that shocking for a pair
@@cheeseontoastbrah Yeah dipends on the use too, track or daily street legal.
I did the same as Marty on my first car, I managed to snag a whole wrecked shell of a ST165 GT-Four, and I transplanted the interior of that, into my base celica, and even wired up the adjustable bolsters and lumbar support in them. I loved those seats, some of the most comfortable, most grippiest seats I've ever had the pleasure of sinking my arse into.
I want a friendship like these two have.
i'll be you friend :)
Those 206 seats are in really good condition! Nice guy matt for doing you a deal.
Peugeot 206 has an incredible amount of motorsport heritage. It has won 3 WRC manufacturers championships and 2 drivers world championship titles. The Suzuki Swift also competed in WRC, but did not even win a single WRC rally, not to mention a title.
Just wondering what the stock seats of each car weighed…. Did Marty lose any weight or gain? And how much weight was saved on the Swift?
They did say it was a weight gain but never mentioned by how much. For the Peugbro, for clarification.
Good point. We’ll make an update on this
@@mightycarmods also you didn't weigh the rails with Bride seats so wasn't the best comparison. Would be interesting to know what the final weight gain\loss for both cars is.
Slight cheat - but I'll forgive it... Martys seats weighed with the runners etc, Moogs seats bare with the rails added later (out of the box)...
Didnt weigh moogs seats with the rails on, and wouldve been good to know martys stock seat weight. 😂
Seat companies need more Josh's doing these videos. I've never wanted to upgrade my seats more than I do now, lol.
The mismatched headlights on the Suzuki would drive me insane! I would absolutely need to correct that once I spotted it.....I'm actually surprised I didn't spot it myself until Marty pointed it out hahaha
same
The fact that Marty pointed out the Suzuki has a black eye at 0:30 is something I cannot unsee.
At the end of the series I want to see Marty and Moog sell their cars and see who lost the most money. Maybe that’s an idea for another series: how to mod a car to maximize profit when flipping it.
that'd be cool, but i also have a supercharged swift sport that i wanna donate to Moog as i don't have space for it anymore as i did want to convert it to RWD as a track skid pig
While you're donating free cars, I happen to know a guy that can house them 😏
really enjoying the new music that you are using for this series, it fits the MCM formula that you guys have crafted and perfected. the car content is 10/10 as always, no notes lol.
I can't be the only one appreciating that Marty gets one take to discuss his trash and Moog's is full camera roll, voice over production mint! 👌
Moog likes a lil bit of flair and dramatic-ness haha
I think you nailed it. For most the stock upgrade is a better idea, unless you're going to like on the track. And ultimately like the point you're making have fun, but be safe.
Plus on a daily driver I think those $5000 seats may get old.
I think upgrading to a better OEM seat is definitely the way to go for a road car with occasional use for track days.
But why is Moog making fun of the Peugeots „missing“ racing pedigree? The 206 faired pretty well in the World Rally Championship.
Yup....the 206 has far bigger racing pedigree than the swift can even dream of. Biggest achievement of the Swift was winning the JUNIOR WRC....with S1600 class cars
You can compare those seats obviously they are from different worlds, but at least Moog should put the rails on when weighing them so you get an accurate weight. Good work boys, awesome content as always
Keep up the amazing work guys! We're all excited for the end of this great series, car vs car!
Excellent series guys I always look forward to the next episode, cheers.
Drove a 206 GTi Sydney-Yamba for a wedding years ago. We were supposed to take my wife's Golf, but it was at the dealer waiting for a warranty replacement engine. Anyhow, it was a really comfortable trip, stiff suspension and rough roads notwithstanding.
so long as you keep the original seats for when you sell the car the brides can go in any future project + new rails of course.
This is a surprise.. They're right, it's the "trash" on this one. Marty got a killer deal. (just say no to Toxoplasmosis).
Those Bride seats, we'll be seein' them in future projects, for sure.
/)_-) Go look up how toxoplasmosis is transmitted before posting something misinformed like that…
You tried to be edgy and got cut up in the process.
Yo the music in this video was dope. Particularly during the seat install. Nice work MCM.
I reckon those carbon BRIDEs are going into the 180 after this series haha
Loving this series!
Great video. I did something similar to Marty with my Mk2 Golf with R32 conversion. It's a road car for occasional track use and I upgraded the seats by swapping my rubbish GTI seats with VW Corrado VR6 seats. They have much bigger bolsters and side supports and sit lower, plus are direct bolt in fit. But... they're leather so you slide around in them. So need to get them re-trimmed to get the best out of them. Mine cost me £100, so similar to Marty's.
I love that a cat loved that seat! 😢 rest in peace little friend! Good show gentlemen!
Boys I love your content! Recently realised that I've been watching you from day one, I was a teenager at that time and didn't even have a car at the time, but still enjoyed the content. Recommended you to all my friends. Truly the best offroading channel here, that My Lambo content is bollocks
i also love the reality of car content, 90% of this channel is yeah i could get a loan and do that, unlike some other channels just showing off what they can afford to do cause they have a youtube income to keep the unrealistic dream going
Quickly becoming a new fave from you guys, everytime I get the notification everything gets dropped
Love how passionate josh is about racing
Loving this series guys!
I love how you do all the music in this!
Not a full on seat, but my cat loved sleeping on a child's booster seat that I had lying around after it was no longer needed. It was like a little mini racing bucket in some senses. LOL
I did a seat upgrade in my old commodore I went from standard Spac seats front and rear to a full Caprice interior. It have me a luxury feeling without the price tag of a Caprice
This is the video I've been waiting for thinking about investing in some *Ricaro seats* 👏👏
Covering all the basis! Love it
Loving this series of vids
Those GTI 180 Seats are made by Recaro, so either way it's a massive win
As a Peugeot driver and enthusiast, I love that the GTi seats are getting a great use and that they are in the Peugbro
I had a 207 RC... had a slightly updated version of martys seats... and they were epic...
Twisty mountain roads in France made them feel so supportive.
I have the gti 180 peugbro and before I had the 1.4 206 and the difference in the seats are mega I couldn't belive the difference
I'd always wanted a set of Recaro SR3's for my JZZ30 Soarer Twin turbo. I saved and got a pair. For me, it was the style I was always after. I guess if you don't mind cheaper seats that's fine but for me, it's somewhere you spend alot of time, and want comfort as well as safety. Recaro being such a well known brand.
I totally agree, depending on the level of car you are planning on. The seats should definitely reflect that.
I love this series it's awesome ❤
Everything you guys are doing are cool for many years. You're not CZcamsrs, you've always been creatures. Not many of us wanted a Pug 206. Cheaper-ish insurance on P plates. Some OG MCM music in the Pug on a "trash" sound system would be an absolute classic. ½ spec to sexy on a P plate. Many can relate.
This series is EPIC!!!
I reckon you boys hit the nail on the head. Safety is the paramount factor, of course, but budget is what's going to keep you grounded. Everyone wants a caged out race car with 5-points, but some of us are just Puge Bros and can't afford it.
My USDM SAAB 9⁵ Dame era Sportcombi had all the Aero bits but the seats, badge, and suspension.
I bought a rot box Aero 9⁵ and swapped the upgraded seats to mine, and bought new Aero suspension since the USDM 9⁵ Dame era had all had the Aero motors from 06 to 10. The upgraded factory seats are legit a great way to go!
My seats from the donor were mint. The body was done, but I harvested everything but the metal body panels. Well worth the interior upgrade!
For something streetable, Trash makes more sense here. if it was track only, sure, get the race seats.
The other downside of the race seats is if you're going on long trip on potentially bumpy roads, which seat do you want under you?
Trash wins this round! My heart aches that Marty didn’t get a Renault Clio Sport or Megane Sport. That would’ve beat the Swift, hands down.
Love the channel, it’s fantastic. You guys freakin rock!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Loving this build off 🤘🏻
My first hatch was 180gti when I was a youth,loved it at the time
Glad you'll do an update on the original seat weight, was pretty bummed out you missed to put that in
I remember back in the day GTI 180's were all over the place where I live in the UK. I had a 106 1.4 phase1 XSI was rapid after replacing the broken gearbox with a Citron AX GT one. The TU engine is so tuneable, think Talbot Samba Rallye.
I enjoy this new content. Please add more.
I'm loving the series , Marty's budget guy vs moog mr fancy 😂😂😂 leave it all on the track u guys
i just got my peugeot 107 back from the fabricator and now it gat a FIA approved cage ;) it also have a FIA approved fixed back and it is not that expensive. i drive B-ZERO. a Scandinavian "KEI CAR" cup.
Another great video guys.
The Suzuki gotta keep that black eye! It gives the car some character :D
I enjoy these videos a lot. Would be nice to see CASH vs TRASH engine upgrades.
At this price point (for the cars), Trash has to win this round.
I used a cheap $50 Magna seat for a driving simulator for years, super uncomfortable, but damn was it fun.
My '67 Nova had bench seats in the front. Those were... fun.
The Peugeot seat has the mounting rails on it doesn’t it? You should have put the bride mounting rails on the scale for a fair measure between the two
Was that race guys surname bucket?😂 Perfect for this comparison, those Bride seats are amazing. if bought just one you would have to put it in my living room, luckily I have an old Civic Type R with excellent reccaros built-in.👍 I wonder if you have to delete the airbags or have they got connections?
Good to see, been calling out from the beginning that the pug should get the gti 180 seats. Retail for quite a bit more in the UK mind
love the tune lads
you might not know this but Peugeot 206 also has race winning pedigree not as a tack car but as a rally car its had 24 wins an 65 podiums in the WRC wining the constructor championship between 2000 an 2002 and how many has the Suzuki won in the WRC oh wait it won nothing
I'm so sad I sold my 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport a couple of years ago! Good vid guys!
Enjoying this series, shame you couldn’t get a GTI to compare as the Swift is the sports version where the 206 is a bog standard car.
Can’t wait for the next instalment.🙂👍🏻
Ages ago I bought a cheap set of GT seats for a poverty spec diesel Golf III. They really changed the feel. Only gripe was the lack of heating elements. Though the originals weren't exactly good either.
4:20 I love when my seats come with airbag’s pre attached
I love it when Moog does the Nigel Thornberry voice.
Here's a challenge idea:
In the final race Marty drives the Swift and Moog drives the 206. The winning car must be sold. So the harder you want to keep your "beloved" car the harder you have to push the opponents car.
We'll find out which car is objectively the best, plus a lucky new owner gets to keep the better car and we could always give some of the proceeds to charity.
Moog you cheated, you have to add the seat rail to your weight 😛
I Love the Recaro seats that came in my 2014 Fiesta ST3, Theyre great and heated. Heavy, But nice seats for sure.
Martys seats re-covered in black alcantara - still less than 1000 bucks, race car look & feel and cat-hair free 😁 RIP Bella...
Great series 😁
Those GTI 180 seats were frickin awesome!
Never seen that mustache on the Peugeot before, now I can’t unsee it😂👍
Cat fur flavored. Chairs of winning. 😂 I almost died. 🤣🤘
I love these guys, what breaks my heart is that I own a Peugeot!
Maniac!
Sorry to hear that.
So did I. At least I had loads of fun... Either when driving down country lanes or when doing the million fixes I had to do... Because french... I still regret selling my 106 (profile pic)
Drove through Wollongong, might have even spent the night(can't remember) nice place. Seem to remember a crazy hair pin filled road down out of the hills to the city.
It would be nice seeing you guys discuss the fact that the bride seats just made the swift not street legal 😂 Loving the videos as always
Why wouldn't it be street legal? What awful laws do they have where you live?
in QLD they be fine til you need to modify for a harness then just slap the mod plate in and you be fine
Love the Bride old school gradient pattern seat. But I still think Martin's Peugeot going to rip on the Swift. I'll take innovation over spending money any day the week.
i love going on the cheap too, but the poobro isn't gonna beat the swifts stock time attack at the end of the series lol
it probably won't due to the garbage suspension he was forced to go with
@@yobama8344 Would've actually been pretty interesting to see them do the opposite, cheap car with expensive parts and vice versa. Don't think the poobro would've had a chance without some serious help!
I love your videos so much I wish I could subscribe 10 times!!
The RC seats qre very snug. My favourites are from a 405 gtx. Comfortable but very supportive.
Its interesting that they didnt buy a gti 180. But it wouldnt have been much of a competition then as the 180 would have been significantly faster
ghi 180 would crush the swift... even the lower spec gti would kill the swift... superior chassis period. using the absolute base model not really a fair fight, but reckon the dynamics might just see the Peugeot beat the swift... would be sweet irony after its been bagged constantly
Can't wait to see the price difference at the end hahaha
19:42 an interior ep would be awesome to see.
Marty can strip the pug to bare metal whilst Moog must replace any trim peices with lighter weight parts
Go team baguette
