> [@JClark](#): > > The stock seats are definitely not comfy! Mine or yours? I keep the stock passenger seat in for the wifey since she likes the heated seats. But if it were up to me I’d drop 60lbs off and throw my other Recaro PP in. I will say that I was surprised at how comfortable the Recaro was once I installed it…then I was kicking myself for waiting so long to make the switch. ---

I’m not 64 years old, so I’ll take going fast instead of being comfortable. ;D BMWs are luxury cars, they are race cars weighed down with lots of comfort garbage. Remove it, and have fun. ---

That’s just me tho. 😃 I’m not knocking modern technology (or early 90’s technology…gotta love the NSX), but for the most part, modern cars are fcking pigs. My goal with my car was to make my own version of a modern day AC Cobra (powerful short wheelbase roadster). And to some extent it is luxurious when compared to a cobra…I’ve got wipers, I’ve got a top I can put up (although it is a manual top), I’ve got a radio, I’ve got a heater, defroster…the list goes on and on ;D ---

> [@Vovchandr](#): > > Sounds like an R32 Skyline right there. Don’t you ever compare my car to a R32! 🙂 Everyone has their own goals. I can appreciate the person who wants a stripped out car for AutoX. For me, I will probably only want a car with boltons that retains majority of the original car’s functionality. No lips/body kits or anything like that. It needs to look/feel/seem like it’s original self as much as possible. That’s just how I like things. Everyone is diff. 🙂 ---

not to mention you can easily get 150-200lbs out of the rear of these cars which pushes the weight balance from slightly favoring the rear (49/51) to damn near neutral. completely transforms the character of the car, and aside from the sound of every little thing the tires pick up hitting the wheel well sheet metal, i effin love it. ---

oh, and dont get me wrong, i get sick of it after a while, but when i do i just throw the rear seats back in and youd never know all the carpet/sound deadening was gone, and it takes all of a minute or two 🙂 ---
