well, i love the new 95 Z28 seats I got off Johnny, but the old ones are a pain in the *** to get out.

They're actually easy as pie to get out. I got the front ones out in 10 minutes. I got the 2 back BOTTOM pieces out in 2 minutes each. But the BACK SEAT has a STUPID torx screw holding the seatbelt onto the seat through the rail (which is attached to the seat) and i don't have a dam torx screwdriver!!!

Now I gotta wait till 5 and then drive to Canadian Tire which will probably be closed by then!

Johnny, just a question, I noticed that the seat belt guides are still on these seats. I think I'll try using my old ones, they look like they'll fit... but how the hell did you get the seatbelts off without taking off the seat belt guides??? Were the belts cut or somethin?

easySPEEDcamaro

ah i forgot to mention, on top of that my battery drained again

it keeps draining!!! i have to boost the dam thing every week.

any ideas why? remember i told you guys that my car kept electricuting me too! i think i have a bad ground or something

You should disconnect your battery while in storage. It will drain no matter what.

I can't actually remember what I did with the seatbelts when I put my 4th gen seats in... maybe IROCKER can give you some insight.

Easy:
Disconnect the battery over winter.
If you have an alarm, run a direct power line to it.
You may also have a short in there, that's unhealthy for the battery. Find it.
What are you doing with the original seats?

easySPEEDcamaro

probably gonna sell the orig seats... they're in brand new condition though lol

davecamaro

easyspeed ill buy the driver side seat off you haha

What happened to the 100% original condiditon, I thought you were going to keep it that way?

easySPEEDcamaro

holy **** is all i have to say.

to get the front seats off: 5-10 minutes each

to get the back bottom pieces off, 5-10 minutes each.

to get the back piece off, 3-4 hours.

why you ask? am i incompetent? no. the seatbelt guides are held in place by a torx screw. not only this, but they are also CEMENTED in for extra firmness. as i was unscrewing the tight *** screw i ended up shredding up the bolt. so then i thought it was hopeless because i couldn't get anything on the screw.

then my big uncle comes along and takes a set of plyers, and after about 1 hour he gets them out. holy cow is all i have to say. i went to homedepot and bought some new screws with a normal top. now i have to go eat christmas dinner and open presents, i really wanted to get the new seats in today!!!

STIFFLER

Well that is you are saying but I think some other guys might think differently... hahahaha

"why you ask? am i incompetent?? hahahahaha
LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... Speedy lift incident... hahahahaha LOL hahahahahahahahaha.. Alcohol Poisoning..... hahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahah...3 clutches..... hahahahahahah
hhahahahahahahahahhah 4-5 hour seat tranplant... well that isn't so funny because you are learning how to work a wrench...


I'm sorry but you set yourself up for that one buddy!

johnyIROC

Sounds like someone is bitter because he missed out on the deal.

IROC_Canuck

yes what did happen to that?

You would be amazed at how easy those bolts come out with air or an electrical impact gun.

STIFFLER

no bitterness here.. I am not that way.. $250 dollars saved towards the miniram... speed first.. interior later unless a good deal is around.. Right James?? haha

easySPEEDcamaro

hah, i tried using my B&D power drill to unscrew the bolts. The bolts wouldn't budge, even when I had the screw halfway out.

On the bright side, I got exactly $250 for christmas. Hahaha, what are the odds, now I can pay off my credit card.

Air tools are a wonderfull thing...I found that out a couple of years ago.....they certainly make almost any job 10x easier.

One thing I have learned over the last couple of years is not to cheep out on tools (not that I am saying you are/did Easy), and if you have the space for a compressor, start saving your pennies for one since it will be well worth it over the long run!

easySPEEDcamaro

Well all the seats are in!!! Wohoo, it took a while but I don't mind the time.

That front driver's seat was a paint in the *** to screw in. Now I know what you're talking about Johnny, the driverside rear bolt is impossible to screw in. I finally found the trick to it after a while, just need to get more tools from my basement.

Just a question, I could only get 1 cover to fit on the front seats. Are there more for the front or anything?

BTW: I hate power seats. Stupid... up down left right forward back.... retarded too complicated. BTW I also noticed one of the power buttons have a broken tab!!! well not really, just the little plastic tab over the REAL metal tab is broken, no biggie!

easySPEEDcamaro

oh an coincidence maybe, but i got exactly $250 for christmas... now i can pay off my credit card debt for the seats!

SBlackfoot

lol Too complicated for ya eh?

How're those plenum and runners coming? Still planning on polishing them up?
