How do you like the new seats?

 

[FlashSVT]

Very comfortable but it's a pain getting in and out.

 

[ygohome]

cool!. This is good idea. Because whenever I have someone in my car and we go to lunch I'm not always able to produce the 2nd gear tire spin trick... maybe after losing 100 lbs this won't be a prob hehe

or maybe i just need to order the kb blower.

Looks very good btw :beer:

Looks great Flash :thumbsup:

It is great when you can drop some weight and look good doing it

How much were those seats if you dont mind me asking. They look like the would hold you in really well.

 

[Got Incon?]

Oh, and what is your build/waistsize for us fat asses.

FlashSVT, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I hate my Corbeaus. I have CR1's and I think they are made from the same material that your seats are made. Everything sticks to the fibers of the cloth on the seats. I mean really sticks. They will pull fibers off Levi jeans. The worst part is that it is almost impossible to vacuum it off completely. I have a Shop Vac and it'll suck the top of of hell and it takes time and a stiff brush to get the seats decent. I wished I had bought "Cobra" brand seats. I like the looks of the CR1's. I have black with red Simpson Harnesses and they look sharp. But, the material and cleaning gives them a big thumbs down in my book. I'm afraid the harsh treatment to clean them will eventually cause them to appear a lot older than they really are. My driver's side alrady looks two years old and they are less than 6 months old.

the setup looks cool. good job.

Have you thought about going with coil overs and maybe a tubular front k member? That should be worth a bit as well.

Very nice, Flash! I like it! How does it feel now with 100 lbs less weight? Can you feel the difference?

Some local enthusiasts are putting together a dyno day in March the 15th. I understand that you might be attending as well? I'll be there. Hope to see ya then......

Later.

Looks sharp

 

[sbc.cobra]

how much does the rear seat delete package cost and where do you get it from?

 

[02cobraguy]

taking out the back seats just leaves that clean look with the carpet there?? Or do you have to order it to be looking like that?

Speaking of that weight, what is it for? Does anyone know, it's mounted in rubber, like some sort of vibration damper, Hmmm.

BBriBro, differential Weight is for reducing Driveline Noise/Vibrations.

Silver03Snake, you are so right. EVERYTHING sticks to these seats.

Forbidden Snake, 100lbs = 1/10th in the 1320' (Not really that noticeable, at least to me anyways. Some say they can feel it.)
