woops, sorry for the double post...hate when that happens

 

Hey check out a push button starter from JC Whitney, about $70. but a nice trick if you are going all out. It lights up in various colors too. I am looking for a set of seats too even though mine are in good shape. I will watch your posts

 

i forget to say that someone here said once check e-bay every once in a while they have some going through

 

Hope you're related to Bill Gates

New Recaro seats run $700 per seat. They don't list brackets specifically for a 280ZX, but brackets for a 240Z run $195, I think that's per side. If you want options such as fold-down armrests, those are about $150 per seat per side (l and r). You can find more at http://www.nascarplace.com/recaro/catalog.htm. Recaro makes really nice looking and fitting seats, but a full set for my 280 would cost more than twice what I paid for the car. That's too rich for my blood.

 

good lord...700 clams a seat?

ummm, i think i like the ebay option quite a bit better all of a sudden...i dont wanna be cheap with this car, but i don't think i can justify 1400 bucks just for seats for a while. by the way, what all is involved in installing a push button starter? that sounds pretty cool, if it lights up blue (might be kinda obvious what my color scheme's gonna be, huh?). ok, i gotta stop talkin about this, cause evrytime i do, i get all impatient. wish me luck!

Re: good lord...700 clams a seat?

Don't forget about all the really fun stuff... like fixing rust, having a better ride, brakes, and even getting it to run (if needed)! All the add-on's are great, but I would recommend saving some coin for really necessary items first.

I only say this because I am in the process w/ a 73 240. I've had it too months and I'm just now getting to something fun... installing the stereo.

P.S. - I got a pair of Miata seats for $120.00, they (well the one that's in) fit great and didn't cost more than the car!

Anyway, Have Fun!
