your mistress sir, is a mean 'lil slut! nice recaros btw, I just had my factory ones refurbished and added red stitching, but it's definately not the same as brand new ones.

What did it cost you to have them refurbished? If this style is going away, I'll likely be looking into the same thing several years from now, because I don't like the new style at all.
Oh, nothing special there, just an ebay vendor. They still have them available.Grandavi;1925771 said:

this is true... however there are much more important things for me to focus on than matching seatsGrimJack;1924048 said:
last time I checked, paint/body work is REALLY expensive, and I estimated my suspension, wheels and tires will be 3.5k minimum... and I'm already throwing $$ at the drivetrain gotta say though, that is a good deal... for some reason the local vendor was pricing passenger seats for $100 extra :-/
There is a 'passenger' model available, and the difference as far as I could see was an extra mount that allows 5 point harnesses instead of just 4. If that's what they were selling, it's more money from everyone else as well.
No clue why Recaro would call it a passenger model, though.

1300 CAD, but he did the e-brake boot and dyed my shiftboot, but the leather was old so I ditched it anyway. Oh and the re-stitching the recaro buckets red was illegal because of copy right infringement but he did it under the table not through his business as a favour. It's not much cheaper then racing buckets, but once you get shipping and duty here plus your new seat-belts and then having to change the brackets to mount them inside. I just wanted it done with. Although brand new would of been awesome.

Tried out claybar on the weekend for the first time ever... stuff is amazing. Unbelievable how little effort it is to use, and what a huge difference it makes.
Canadian Tire... just picked up the Meguires stuff, which I thought was a bunch of clay, but turns out to be two small packages of clay plus a spraybottle of their detailing finish that you use as lube for the clay.
I'll be looking for some other kind to buy next time - I'd rather buy separates.

Yeah, it's hard to find clay bar stuff separate from the spray. Probably because some moron would use it without and ruin his paint...
GrimJack, I love your car and all of the attention to detail you put into it with all the new Toyota parts and such. It's always exciting when you have a new update.
On a side note with the clay bar, do you know if it would be safe to use on my original paint? Its in very good shape for its age, but does have a few fine spider web cracks.

Clay bar won't damage glossy paint so long as it's well lubricated (giggidy), it's why they're so amazing
eshine.ca is good too, I've ordered from them in the past. They have some really good cheap microfiber towels too.
Dave, engine bay looks great as usual!

Wow Grim an Amazing build as always! Love the colour, it's been far to long since I've looked at a Supra and I'm glad your build was the first one I looked at.
