Managed to get hold of a cheap set of monoco seats of ebay and thought id toy with the idea of doing something wacky and different..now that my front bumper is no more so i decided to added some massaging motors within the actual seat.
A bonus of this was that the donor chair massager that i bought also had a heater element in it. warm me bum up on them cold mornings

I did hit a few snags on the way i.e the wires to the top motors need to be extended.
Cost of Mod - Just a tad over £10

Here is the seats once i had stripped it all down





Here is what the seat massager looked like. i could have just fitted the covers over the top, but then it would have buldged out and looked horrible!




Here is what the massager is capable of doing




i then completely gutted the seat massager and manage to salvage the motors and heater elements from it




after carefully marking out where i wanted the motors, i marked out how much foam i needed to cut away. After i was happy with the depth i then held it in place using some velcro strips





All that was left to do now was to put the covers back on!

Lovely.... is there anything you can't do?

...and this seat massager. Is it a sign of getting old.

If it works I'll be interested, but only if it can induce a coma

thanks matey
i love my monocos! just working on the inside of the car now. got a red/black steering on the way and need to do some major rewiring for my 2 amps, front compos, and other gadgets. ordered some new battery terminals so i can run the power straight from the battery rather then tapping into the wires from behind the headunit

both driver and passenger seats have massagers in now and both work a treat!

this is the progress so far!
