Same with me. When weather breaks in a few months..

Do you know how to remove the valve cover properly or should I buy a spare to have you do?

Should I just bring you the whole car with a spare cover gasket and we'll just rip it off, spray it, then put it back on? Then that way we can replace the gasket too.. Because you said that powder-coating doesn't need to fully dry, just be dry to the touch then it's good to go, right? How much for two powder-coat layers? I have an idea.. lol As in, one coat of one color, then another of another color, including removal and installation.. And this includes sandblasting too, correct? Mine has some gunk buildup by the spark plug holes that nothing I've done seems to clean up..

So who's selling those black SS leathers on Craigslist? Just standard seats, not Recaros I'm guessing - right? If they are Recaros - sold. Buying them for my girlfriend. lol

Also, looking to trade my chrome IRL wheels. 17x7, +42 offset, clears factory Brembos. Anyone..?

Dunno who is selling them, but I was considering buying them. They are just standard SS black leather. Not Recaros. I got some pics sent to me, Im considering them if they arent too beat, since my stock cloth seats are dieing after 100,000 miles.

Just look around and find some Ion/Cobalt Recaros. Seriously. I got mine a few years back (when they were hard to come by) for 400 fronts and rears. They bolt right in. They're very comfortable. And they don't wear out after a week like those bogus eBay ones. Plus, the seat rails are already there and the same.. You could probably get them now for 300..

Try $500 + shipping for a set that's not beat to total ****. Been looking for track seats for a while. You're better off going quality aftermarket if you can find something you like.
