I can see this being a concern if your buying pays like engine internals or suspension but how could they screw up shipping a seat. Normally I wouldn't look abroad as I like to support the local economy but at 50% off its hard to resist.

Didn't look, but you sure the stuff isn't just left-over, out of date safety equipment?

The poles are very good at doing things in a not legitimate fashion. It would not be unheard of to have switched tags showing current dates on older stock...

This was my suspicion... Im actually polish (born in Poland) and ive been baack to the homeland several times... they can be very sketchy in their business practices... I contacted the seller last week and asked about the stock and the was told that its a 2015 seat, so its basically 1 year old... I think i might just order it direct from sparco and have piece of mind.

If I wait till January do i get a 2016 label sticker which would make it good till 2021?

Also I have very little insight on seat mounts... are you guys running custom mounts or buying those L brackets from sparco/recaro?

Negatory, the hammer should be an indicator of how it went down
Used a small gasket scraper and hammer... wire wheel to clean it up.

Looks about the same with dry ice...let it sit, smack it with a hammer. Get those nice chunks all the same.

The stuff on the firewall was super brittle, I'm guessing from extreme heat cycling... the stuff around the shifter was more of a PITA. The drivers side floor was THE WORST.
Live in Michigan and was mid 40s yesterday.

Are you guys running keyless ignition? Anyone have a schematic of how to wire up keyless? Also any schematics on emergency cutoff switch?

Inside is done, waiting on seat to come in... then it goes for cage. Not quite sure what to do with the open ends of the heater core lines... the outlet part looks like it goes into the head do I'm not sure if it's ok just to block it off... any input?



Outlet goes here





Outket line terminates to hard line





This was where the inlet line came from.

possibly just plumb a loop from outlet to inlet. The LS guys have been doing that for ages.

I was thinking that but I'd like to eliminate the line if it is unnecessary.
I be my eve people have removed it so I'm wondering how they did it.

On my LS you have to loop it. If you block it, the motor overheats. But then again its like 3 inches of hose and 2 hose clamps.
