I suspect you'd like your Sport Seats even more if you clean them.

Hey, I drove my car twice this week already!

But seriously, you really should read up on Leatherique. It's expensive leather-care product, but you're clearly comfortable spending money on the car.

I'll get a pic of how tore up my stock seats for you, they have cut my arm a few times already. One of the reasons for replacing them.

Yes racing seats, no not adjustable (that's why I said I hope I don't regret the choice above). I have not used the seat warmers in the 5 years that I have owned the car, just not needed in Texas. I put my order in on the super secret/private GTM Flux Capacitor Group Buy and am just waiting for a few cast parts to be made...

Yes, I plan on adding a full harness but that is after the power adder. Hopefully at that point the car will see more track than street. Either that or it will be a garage queen.

Because some people don't want to fly all lover the place when taking a turn.........


I will say though the sedan seats have decent bolstering, just not great.

That's exactly the purpose my sport seats serve. Fully adjustable side bolsters which make sure I don't move around in my seat at all when taking a turn lol and I can't say anything bad about the Sport seats..

I have the sports seats as well and while they are good they surely could be better when doing things like autocross.

Bummer. Sea level, too, I'm assuming. What tires? Are you messing with tire pressure? Did you empty the junk in the trunk? Did you have a passenger?

You know, as long as you had fun, any street sedan running under 14 by someone new to the strip... that's pretty good, in my book. Cut yourself some slack.

Didnt even check the tire pressure. Stock tires (40k miles on them).

Empty trunk and no passenger (last time I had full trunk).

So I was technically lighter and had more hp/tq than last time (only intake, RHFC,catback).

Still dissapointed so idk what is to blame besides bad launch and maybe tires.
