So am I going to see this when we meet up for the wheels! I so wish I had a project wagon! What kind of blow off valve are you running

yes, you'll be seeing this avant when i stop by to sell you the wheels. i'm not running a blow off valve nor i ever will. it has a stock bypass valve. the sound that you hear in one of the vids is the wastegate.

i'm going to eventually swap out my grey interior to black interior and why not start with a nice set of black UrS4 seats. these are very nice just like my 93 had. i bought these last night. thats the rear seat bottom that you see in the bottom of this pic.

Thank you Jesse for helping me remove the old seats and installing the new to me black UrS4 seats.




the old seats removed and i was pretty shocked that it was pretty darn clean under the seats.




both seats now installed and let me tell you these seat feel way more supportive then the ones i took out! i spent a little time cleaning them up but i need to clean them up more. i'm thinking now i want to just get black seats and rock the 2 tone look for awhile. the black seats in my old UrS4 are nicer then these and i'm tempted to steal them back lol

A company called "Leatherique" sells a great product, leather conditionner  that you spread on the leather for a few days till the leather is saturated, then a leather cleaner that removes all the crap brought to the surface by the conditionner and then a leather dye in black and voila the seats look new.
It really makes the leather nice and soft again, it feeds the cowhide.
Looking good, the 2 tone will be Ok but make sure you replace the rear seats, if not it will look junky.
Nice ride
