It's just only 15mm... And they have a shorter seat adjuster bar... I think there may be a small issue with them though so I am going to call about it tomorrow and if there is I'm going to cancel the order before it even leaves Japan... Stay tuned on that though.... As for price... Msrp is 23940yen, which at this very moment is around $304 plus shipping each

New problem with the Evo:

I've recently been experiencing difficulty getting the car to engage in first gear. Most of the time it's after the car has been off for longer than 30 minutes.

I get in the car. Start the car. Put it in first. Rev it up to around 1800k- 2000k rpm and slowly let the clutch out while gradually increasing the throttle.

While doing so the car sounds like it about to stall out. Especially when I got the air con ON.
I manage to get the car moving, then it starts bogging out, stutters and jerks a few times like its about to stall.
After playing with the throttle a bit it finally catches and off I go.

I tried letting the car warm up for a minute or two but thats only on a cold start. Sometimes it feels as if I have to let it warm up every time I get in the car. Even if I went in
7-11 to grab a drink.

Anyone got a clue what could he happening?

Thanks guys. I'll check it out tomoro.
Gotta tighten it up. I gave it some slack last week and may have gave it too much play.

tighten it up? that would cause early engagement. you're adjusting the pedal underneath the steering wheel correct?
