LMK whenever you head to a meet, I'll try and bring out the FR-S if I don't have a conflict.

Interesting... Mine is set to balanced and I thought it has plenty of bass down in the sub region... It does seem lacking in fullness/richness of the mid range. Also I have to turn my high frequency down a lot or its way too shrill on some songs. I really want to hear the OEM audio plus system which has the mid range in the dash and back upgraded!

btw I posted in the Texas thread but in case people don't browse, I'm willing to hook up an Austinite with these seats to save me on shipping



They're so comfortable.

That was originally the plan when I took them out of my last car, but I ended up really liking the Monogram seats and I'm too lazy to transfer the heated seat element to the Sparcos.


I was gonna possibly make office chairs out of them, but now I want some car parts so I need some expendable cash

I have never done a seat swap before, I'm assuming I lose my airbag and the airbag light comes on, right?

no idea what the price is on them but I would make some office chairs out of them too

Mine is set to Full, but I've pretty much decided I'm going to switch to Robust. I've tried messing with the eq settings, but I still feel that everything I listen to needs a bit more bass.

The mids and highs sounds great to me, but the bass just sounds too standard on nearly every song.

That's strange that your Balanced has plenty of bass. I wonder how it compares to my Full.

Not sure with side airbags, but for the driver's seat, you wouldn't For the passenger seat, you either have to bypass or transplant the weight sensors into the Sparcos. On my Corolla, I just bypassed the weight sensors. For a while I only had the driver's seat and airbags functioned as normal since there's only an on/off for the airbag in the driver's seat.

Hi Austin 86ers - I just had to share this pic with you. I spent many hours this weekend waxing and detailing.

[Jyn]

I need to clay bar mine so I can get all the gunk from the Twisted Sisters runs off, but I don't have a garage to clay in .

[Semprini]

Speaking of the sisters, who's going on Saturday? I think it would be nice to roll into Medina together. From central Austin, it looks to be about 2h, 20 minutes, but I'd personally rather not gather on 6th street What do you guys think would be a good place to meet up for anyone that wants to drive to Medina together?

[ron_n_tx]

I am thinking about going, but need an idea of what time I can expect to be back here in Round Rock. I committed to attending an event with my wife in the afternoon.

[missbrz]
