Alright, I'll bite. How did you do the restore? I'd like to work on the seats in my GP, and even the black leather seats I have to go into the Stealth.
I looked up leather restoration/repair and found a place in Nashville that had a good reputation. I didn't do them myself, and I don't know what exactly they did. The cost was $350 for both seats. The driver's bolster was the worst part, but they both had "issues". They had them done in a day and sealed/conditioned them also.
They look really good but for only $250 - $300 plus your time you could have replaced everything with new leather.
...Thats what I was thinking, still look good though and much less hassle.
Oh no, I got a quote and it was almost $900 for new leather, I want quality. And I have seen DIY installs, and well I rather have somebody that knows what they are doing than trying to "wing it" to.Quote:

Alternator is shot, I think I have a cracked exhaust manifold on the rear, and just before I turned the car off I heard a tapping noise, much louder than the lifters. Unfortunately it reminded me of my buddy's Mustang which had a wrist pin tapping. FML
I got rid of some useless junk. Removed clutch vac tank and power steering hard line. They just got in the way and do nothing to make her go faster. No faster, no stay. Now, all useless systems have been removed.
adjusted my headlights, wiped down the interior.
Got the new rubber today.

not knocking you, but those look like cheap ebay tires. What size? what did they run you?
Sumitomo HTR ZII 275/35R/18 Price was under $700 shipped from Tire Rack. Defiantly classified as a summer tire.
I broke it.

Got about half the parts for actually fitting the turbos, still got fuel system upgrades and management.
Installed Ninja Performance fuel pump hotwire kit, routed main power cable from battery, through firewall grommet then under centre console > carpet > rear seats through to pump. Probably one of the best hotwire kits around, 9/10...
2000-mile old Spec 4+ sheared it's rivets, pos.Quote:

bought first gen clear corners and black powder coated dimiond plate floor mats with 3000gt engraved in silver from 3sx, and somehow those two iteims combained were still cheaper then just oem floor mats lol
Finally got back to work on the green 93. Removed ps side skirt and did some sanding. Had a heat stroke and drank some beer.
yes...because beer is the perfect cure for heat-stroke. :confused:Quote:

Weird... I'm running full lean on a 15psi pull in my Soarer, it's leaving my car with a black ass.Quote:

One guy with the same problem got his repaired well after the warranty period, so I have my fingers crossed.Quote:
