    New seat for the 85

    im buying a Kirkey aluminum race seat off a guy i know. He was going to use it in his road race car, but went to a MOMO seat instead. Dont have pics yet but this is about what it looks like. Seat has never been installed, but the top of the seat was clearenced for a roll bar.



    This should help drop about 50#s off the car.

      the padding i can fix.

      as for comfort i have no sound deadening, flowmaster 40's with dumps, no radio, no HVAC, and a loud fuel pump.

                  Lol, believe the correct expression was "Us Viccers are more interested in performance, not fluff :yuck:"

                      I see no reason to not have the best of both worlds. Heavier, comfier seats are just an excuse to have more oomph under the hood :evil:

                        Ain't nothing like driving through town, pulling up next to some rice, dropping the hammer, and smokin' that ass in the utmost comfortable way possible. :slug:

                        My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born.
