Mmmm, it would be shame to get them in 'n find out they're so heavy that they accelerate quicker than your Mini now.

What seat frames did you use? I was planning on buying some of those universal slider ones and getting them to fit my application. The passenger seat has a bad switch and honestly they weigh too much so alot of the electrics are coming out in favor of manual sliding action! I'll be keeping the electric recline as I'm not sure there is a way to change those to manual. I know the manual versions have a knob on the side for recline functions but I don't know how to convert these ones to accept them. Any ideas?

Great Porsche seats you have by the way! :shifty:

I run 914 Seats in mine. They look like they belong there. Everyone seems to like them too. I'll post up pictures if I can get my camera to stop being stupid.
