• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Not quite this easy, if only!
Had to fab custom mounting brackets and weld them to the floor. Then drill holes through the floor and drop bolts through the floor of the car and bolt them in from underneath from the sheet metal pan(there's some extra metal welded in for added security).

Did you have to rewire them ? Are they heated ? Mine are not heated.

If you do not mind me asking how much would seats like that run at a JY ?

For the heated and cooled seats, in the STS the factory setup works through the climate control head unit. It sends a serial data message to the control module in the seat. There's no simple way to fake that, so the heating/cooling elements are wired directly to switches, each with it's own power/ground. You don't have the ability to control fan speed, or temperature of the heaters, but they work.

Seats will run about a grand for fronts and rears... if you manage to find a set.
 


Re: 99 GTP, First pics

Those gauges are tight, what kind are they and where did you get them, also what kind of bulbs?
 
Re: 99 GTP, First pics

They are on ebay, black indigo gauges, it says the price is $339 but it's 40, they just mistyped the price when renewing it, so if you want them, you'll have to give them a call so you don't spend all that money
 


Re: 99 GTP, First pics

and for an update on the work we did before the car became mine.. little late but here you go. Right rear caliper bracket was bent and PEP BOYS told me to replace the whole rear brake system, so at first we didn't want to but i ended up doing it anyways. so here is some pics of the installation of the breaks

stock left brakes

some of the new parts





New Rotor and Caliper on

All done


The side that was bent, new everything for the right rear..


Then when I finally got home down south, Diode finally got my LED's in, put those suckers in




Then last thing was the needles :) Got them from same friend who put brakes on for me, CodyAK

 


Re: 99 GTP, First pics

Were they hard to install or fairly simple?

Re: 99 GTP, First pics

So... the seats came with the car?

Last time I heard they're not a direct swap.
 
Re: 99 GTP, First pics

pretty easy, comes with a ground and power wire so just wire the power for best resuts and action, to the power wire to the actually gauges, it comes with a switch you can put wherever you want, and then just ground it wherever you want, i never used the E brake so i grounded it t the top of the metal part of the brake
