Latest Purchase - audionut405 - 02-25-2008

Well, SL8RZZX3 and I went and picked up these bad boys yesterday. A fellow Fanatic had'em up for sale, so we made the 17 hour drive (including stops) to Brighton, Michigan.
From the ad, I thought they had just been reupholstered...turns out they are Katzkins :D Nice thick leather! Even has FOCUS embossed in the backrests.

Gonna look sick in the black focus!!!

Beautifull seats.
They are ofter for sale in the US but it's too pricy to get them shipped in Canada.
I'd love to put my hands on a set of leather seats with blue inserts.
They will loog good in your car. B)

Still pilling up parts , I'm building my spare motor and transmission and will drop the whole thing with the PWSC attached to it in my Blue ZX3.
I should have all the parts before mid April.
I have 70% of the parts in.( Limited Slip Differentiel , 4.06 gear, J.E Pistons , Rings , Flywheel ) are arrived , still missing Eagle rods , Clevite bearings , ARP Head & main cap bolts , Head gasket , exh. gasket.
Still don't know what to do with the head and cams , Ford Racing head or have my stock spare one ported + misc stuff ..
The "snout" of the PowerWorks Supercharger has to be sent out to MassiveSpeed Performance to have the shaft machined to be able to swap pullies , I'll be running the +3LBS Pulley ( 14PSI ) to start with.
It's a long project.


Sorry to highjack the thread... :(

Latest Purchase - Tantrik ZX3 - 02-26-2008

They look sick . Great buy


Latest Purchase - ZX3_2NV - 02-26-2008

great buy any problems bring them across the border


Latest Purchase - Flofocus - 02-26-2008

very nice, I called them to get a kit for my back seat and they wont do seperates...you have to buy the whole kit. :( So...if the money is there this year, i will buy their whole kit and sell the fronts for some cash once I finish them.

NefCanuck - I don't think they are heated. I checked the wire harness and on the passenger side there is only a wire for the seat belt reminder; however, the drivers side has the seat belt reminder AND a wire with a yellow chip attached to it. Not sure what it's for. Also I can't see any heat coils or anything.

ZX3_2NV: I did get pinched at the border. Only because I had gave them a low-ball bulls%@# bill of sale. They seen the leather seats and knew I didn't pay $150 for them. So after they gave me the run around for awhile, I ended up paying only $37 in duties and I was sent on my way.

Thanks for the comments guys!!!
