muscle50 has them in black cloth. they are a bit more firm than they might look, but still pretty comfortable. they hug you right in. i wanted this style of seat… i definitely didn’t want a knockoff cheapo seat, but anything beyond this starts to get VERY pricey imo ---

just out of curiousity, how much are these? how much cheaper are the cloth versions? ---

the cloth ones are about $500 less for the pair. my seats, harnesses, and brackets retail for about $1600. i got them significantly cheaper ---

Was digging through my gigantic folder of fbody pics and found this. I can’t tell if the carbon is actually covering the minitub or is the minitub itself and riveted in place. Either way it serves as some sweet motivation. ![http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d50/Shockwave179/carbonminitub1.jpg?t=1226259276](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d50/Shockwave179/carbonminitub1.jpg?t=1226259276) ---

It’s a carbon minitub, pretty common these days. ---

after many many weeks of holding off on pulling the trigger on fuel system…i think i’m actually swaying my decision… i think for now we are going to just run another twin walbro 342 intank setup, this time have the second one on a HOBBS switch. i thought running the magnaflow inline pump with a sump would simplify things, but i turns out it was the other way around. there were so many variables i’ve been contemplating, and it seems too much a PITA when i can just do the tried and true setup. best part about it is i’m going to save about 600$+ in fuel stuff. 🙂 i can always sump the tank and do the other setup down the road… but twin intanks should be good for just over 1000rwhp. so ill probably order the fuel stuff tomorrow, along with my 335/35/17 hoosiers and 285/40/17 nittos, and ratech 12bolt rebuild kit tomorrow… shooting to get my car ready for the buffalo world of wheels show for the first time since i’ve owned it, dynotuned and all [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turby-winter-08-09-rebuild-almost-done-pics-post-424/57248.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turby-winter-08-09-rebuild-almost-done-pics-post-424/57248.md?page=5)
