Picked up a new upgrade for the interior off of a guy in Lexington Ky who recently traded in his car for a new STi. He had them on ebay and also on craiglist in lexington. I picked up the 6 month old pair for $400.
They are Sparco Chrono Road seats. ( this pics are somthing I found on the web, but it is the same color and stiching) What is amazing is the seat is taller than I am. If you never seen me, you would understand the significance of that.






So now I will be selling my Flofits that are currently in the car.

Wow, been awhile for an update.

Got it 95% complete and it is out driving around now. It even went to the track and did a best of 12.4 @ 116 on street tires spinning down the 60 foot mark.

Was planning of swapping to a drag tire, but my rear axle seals are leaking. I figure drag radials and the stock 28 spline axles will not play well together. So plan is for a built 35 spline with a wavetrac (Locker diff) and 3.55 gears. The 3.73's with the 27" tall tires have me shifting to fifth at the top of the 1/4. So either 28" tall tires or lower gear. With the torque being north of 500ftlbs at 2200 rpm, 3.55's will be fine.

I did pick up a few more parts: Brembo 4 piston calipers with a 14" rotor for the front and a FR500C suede leather steering wheel made by sparco.

You going to be getting rid of your current front brake set-up then? I know a black Fox up in Ft. Wayne that could use them...

Current brakes will go on the cobra since they have very little mileage on them. The old and busted crap off the cobra will get sold off for cheap.

It is all going to depend on if I like the 10ths on the fox, if its not what I want. Then the brembo's will end up on the cobra.

When your a biggin, you need biggin seats. That is why you don't see fat guys pulling off the EMO look. Because fat people been wearing tight jeans before it was cool.

They are taller then me sitting in them and still fairly wide. A friend who prefers plush interiors was shocked how comfortable they were.
