I got some 01 Cobra seats last night, but they were just a little bit (Ok, extremely) uncomfortable... And the lumbar was blowing up the back of the seat, not the front.

So I opened it up, and this is exactly what I found.

Yes, that is a screwdriver. And the bag is no where near where it was supposed to be. All is fixed now, but it was a rough two hours getting home.

Also, those seats look really good in there!

you should change the tan to a darker charcoal color, then have an emblem, like the cobra now, put in, but match it to the exterior color of the car.

Those are pretty rare. Hardly any 99-04 Cobras had the tab interior. Where'd you get them? I still want the Corbeau GTS IIs.

I got them as a straight trade for my old seats from a guy on CAFords. They might be rare, but these ones are in pretty bad shape. The guy attempted to dye the leather black, but just let the dye sit on the leather, which I guess is supposed to be rubbed into the leather with some brush? Anyway, when I had to pull the leather up to get to the screwdriver the dye just flaked off. The suede is actually in great shape.

Today was the day that I decided the TOB squeal needed to disappear. Arin came down to help out and we replaced my clutch cable and installed MM's firewall adjuster and quadrant. It was a pretty easy install (surprisingly), and we waited a lot longer for the delivery man than we spent actually doing the install.

Result?

The engagement feels really smooth, and man it feels good to let off the clutch and not hear that godawful noise of the TOB riding the pressure plate fingers.

Something we did notice, though, is that the passenger side of my motor is much lower than my driver's side. Along with that the engine does make a pretty good thud-thud-thud when I let out the clutch with a little too much gas. I'm thinking that it could be a bad motor mount. Any ideas?

and if you're gonna do motor mounts, might as well get a tubular k...

and if you're changing the k... might as well get coilovers

and if you're doing that, well tubular lowers are probably also necessary
