Man, that would be weak sauce if your filter even blocked out the red x. Cause that's all I'm seeing.

My apologies in advance for the preachiness...

Please, please don't run the harnesses through those holes in the back, unless you are really short. The angle of the harness would run 90 degrees from the hole to your shoulders, and and in an accident, could cause a compression fracture in your spine (ask me how I know

).

Our filter blocks it before it even attempts to load the site, so yes... it does technically block the red X because it does not even accept the source link as a valid address.

They are vintage Recaros, in like new condition, the exact same seat as used in the Porsche 911 ST

Those are nice. I say, your can will appreciate the money you don't earn in a sale.

Yeah, I have a thread going on Pelican Parts - dudes are saying they are worth a lot, and to be patient. Looks like I can sell them for a nice price, buy some replicas, and have cash left over. Plus, somebody's cool 911 project will get the right seats.

Rukh · « **Reply #9 on:** February 04, 2009, 09:42:37 AM »

If that's the route you want to go. Personally, I'd keep the seats and make all the 911 geeks jealous.

greggearhead · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2009, 02:03:32 PM »

While that would be cool, they are worth more than my GTI & NSUs put together. Ahem.

Rukh · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2009, 02:27:34 PM »

My recommendation remains the same - unless you aren't planning on making the NSU into more than a 5 out of 10 car.

The Asshole · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2009, 03:08:45 PM »

those are very nice. I'll give you a half eaten bologna sandwhich for 'em.

nvm just ate it...... install them into your nsu.

LOS · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2009, 03:12:34 PM »

Sell em man, makes too much sense. You would have enough money to fund all the other stuff!

Precisely. If I can sell them and finance a lot of build project(s) - then I will do that. As I can still get awesome replica seats that will make most of the 911 guys drool, plus pay for some wheels and engine stuff that will make it more fun.

Or you could just keep them, and work a few more hours and get all of that shit anyways.... rare parts are hard to come across.... money is money.... you can make more of it

Although.... I will admit.... in the late 90's and early 2000's, that money is money saying was eaiser to justify than it is today... so do what makes you happy

This.

Barry · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2009, 09:50:05 PM »

yeah.... its a hard concept to grasp when one is borderline broke, which I am sure many of us are....

Why do you think the GTI still has the small dent in the hood, and stock lips on the RM's?

LOS · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2009, 09:54:53 PM »

Yes rare parts are hard to come by, but its not like its a stock seat from the nsu or something that belongs in it from an aftermarket manuf. Its a rare part that is going to lose money the more he uses it. It would be stupid to just let it sit in the garage collecting dust and using them will deteriorate them. So my option is sell. Not like you can put it on the car and it will be in the same condition years later.

Rukh · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:07:33 PM »

I see your point, Los. But they're just too damn COOL to just up and sell.

How'd you come across them, anyway Gregger?

You mean you can be something other than broke? That's silly talk.

You really wanna know? Craigslist. Some 16yo kid was going to put them in a 280Z and changed his mind. No kidding.

Barry · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:18:37 PM »

I'm looking for the 16 yo kid with a set of 15" LM's that he wants to throw away because they have gay bolts around the outside of the rim...

I don't think I'll ever find that douche

Rukh · « **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:18:58 PM »

I hate you. Don't tell me how much you got them for, as I will then have to kill you with my new gun.

Rukh · « **Reply #24 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:19:28 PM »

15" LMs?
