take like 100 pics of the seat in different light and send them to them. im sorry but a light grey colour doesnt look black unless your taking the pic in almost darkness with no flash.

explain all the difference in the seat you got and the one they advertised, then say your part of a car club and alot of its members were thinking of buying the seats but were worried about the quality. so you went ahead and bought a set to recommend to everyone. because of them sending you the wrong product and there refusal to remedy the system that you are going to suggest that everyone avoid there company at all costs. that they send you the wrong product then call you a liar. then say your going to the better business bureau and reporting them. then if they agree to replace the set get in a good old yelling match. if they hangup call back and continue your abuse until you feel better.

did you buy these on ebay? if so email paypal and say they mislabelled there product, sent you something that is completely different and inferior to what they described in the ad you and they are refusing to do anything about it.

say you bought these http://cgi.ebay.ca/NRG-EVO-RACING-SEATS ... 2998wt_732" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

there completely different seats.

edit. i just read this on that ebay page for the seat you said you bought. a little misleading if you ask me...
BLACK W/ WHITE STITCH (CLOTH MATERIAL)
NO "NRG" LOGO ON SEAT AS PICTURED
then they sent you these http://cgi.ebay.ca/PAIR-NRG-EVO-RACING- ... 338wt_1164" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


in the pic they displayed theres 5 stitch lines in the back rest, the one you received has 4 lines...

Mike came over and we got some stuff done. The lift was great.. I would not want to imagine what a tranny swap would be like with out it.

Just some simple before and after shots.

nice clean flywheel, and wow, my clutch disk looks EXACTLY like that one.

Trans swap without a lift is easier out the top taking the motor with it....

Tranny, clutch and drivers seat are in. The clutch holds great!!! Car is pretty quick so far. On my crap tune no less. 0 Boost creep. Tru-boost saying that my gate is holding at 7.64psi. Will get a vid up soon. Can't wait for a bigger exhaust and a good tune.

definitely take pics of the touch screen unit, I'd love one but I don't know whether a carputer or straight-up GPS/Music player is just as good (other than no internet). What's the system you've got coming?

I installed the eonon d2208
low res pics can be found here:

I went with this model because I was planning on installing a magden obd2 unit found here:
http://magden-auto.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It works with the touch screen.
Sadly they will no longer be making it and it's $600+. Not sure If I'm going to do it or not.

They are much larger than my old one.

Let us know how you like the CS bar compared to the other one. Back in my day, people used to say there was a big difference between the CS bar and the cheap eBay ones. I went straight to the CS bar and loved it, and REALLY miss it when I did my ZE swap until we figured out how to get it to clear the IM.
