Let me add a legitimate post to this thread, which I think has the potential to be a great thread.

If you ever want to install a racing seat, or you have to take your seats out, this is a very handy tool to have:

GearWrench 9221 E10 x E12 Torx Double Box Ratcheting Wrench
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HBF5LQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1



There is not a lot of room to get in there with a regular socket wrench, and if you are floor mounting your seat with no slider, there is no way to get a socket wrench at the back two bolts depending on how far forward or back your seat is.

Bonus tool:
The "10" size wrench from this universal metric wrench set also fits those E12 torx seat bolts:

7 Pc Metric Universal Combination Wrench Set
7 Pc Metric Universal Combination Wrench Set



For final tightening, or to break one of these bolts loose, this wrench is a good one, as I don't feel comfortable using the ratcheting version to tighten it down that hard. The torque spec is 65 Nm (48 ft-lb)
