I have been watching you build your car for sometime now. It is going to be awesome. The pic with different wheels makes it look too cool. I gotta get me a set of those TT II`s.

Re: *** Project Update, >Seats< *** (groovyjay)
NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! What brand and model do you have? How do they fit? How much did they cost. Do the seats adjust back and forth? Would you do the same thing again? Would you do anything differnt? This is just what I need!

Re: *** Project Update, >Seats< *** (69stingray)
69stingray: Thanks. They feel great, even better than I imagined. Yes they slide Fore/Aft. There's holes to run 4 point harness. This seat also features a lumbar adjustment system, they are pure competion with luxury feeling!

71stingraybigblock: Thanks man, as for the prices and info follow he link above.:cheers:
Eddie 96: Thanks Eddie for the kind words :cheers:
Taijutsu: Thanks man. The seats are Sparco Milano's. They were around 1300$ us each, yes they move back and forward. They are very tight fit (we all know how much room C3 interior has :lol: ), but they fit in. I wouldn't change these seats for anything else. Just follow the link above for more details. :cheers:
SmokedTires: Thanks Mike :cheers:
81vette: Thanks, yes I think they are bit heavier than stock ones, too bad I've already sold my old seats and didn't put them on scale to find out how much they weight. :cheers:
Armstrong: thanks. I actually had my stock seats restored one year before I took the car apart, they were in mint condition when I sold them last year. :cheers:
69stingray: See the reply above :cheers:

Re: *** Project Update, >Seats< *** (groovyjay)
Just a little update:
*I moved to England for next 9 months, so I won't be able to work on the car for next two months, so no new updates either :(
As for the seats, I did try them in with the adjustable seat brackets, and they gave me so more room on the shoulder area, since they lifted the seat 1.25" up. So this is definately a good thing. I can only move the seat back and forth approx. 2.5", but that more then I need, but still nice thing to have. So take care you all, and talk to you guys and gals some more soon :cheers:
