    New Buckets!!!

    so... today for some reason i got the "impulse buy" that i wanted to buy a new Grant steering wheel. so i went to autozone, they only had 3 wheels, and no install kits. then i remembered this place down the street called schucks(sp?) that had a bunch of steering wheels. so i went there, grabbed a cool steering wheel and install kit. then as i was walking to the checkout counter i walked by the big battery stand they had and on top, were 2 racing bucket seats on super-sale! ive seen 'em for sale before for about 100 bux each, and this sign said 'clearance- was 89.98, now 24.97' so i had to grab two of them, along with the covers... so ill be putting these in when i put the stage 3 clutch in!!!








    yea, they are plastic... but they weigh like, 10 pounds each!!!!!!
    dunno how im gunna install them (bracket stuff-wise) but ill figure out a way.

    oh yea, and ill post pix of the steering wheel tomorrow...
    but for now, i think i put it on too tight cuz i cant use my turn signal switch thingy... no good. but i think if i loosed everything up and put a shimmy or something there it will work.

    OH! also, just ordered 2 sets of 4 point 'racing' harnesses, aka seatbelts with 2 shoulders... and 4 of those little padded foam things that go on the shoulder straps for comfort. they look kinda gay so ill prolly flip them so they are just red.
    see...

    Re: New Buckets!!!

    well, its definately different... the sliders dont work so well cuz there are big bolts in the tracks, so i gotta pretty much put it where i want it and keep it there. its kind of a pain to get out of but that is no big deal at all, just gotta get used to it. the only thing i dont really like is that its a SUPER hassel to get my wallet out of my car while im seated. but thats about it. but they look and feel like TEH SEX!!
