    Thank you for sharing! I may have gone out of order, as I’ve seen these beautiful seats and the car in your first drift competition already. I’m excited to see the progress, since this is over a year ago (edit: a few days from 2 years ago). Eventually I’ll catch up.

    wow i cant believe you didnt go flying out your car, with the seat too, the way that seat was held down. But the pillows take the dog gone cake! amused, shocked and grossed out at the same time heh

    I was also looking tutorials to install seats in my c5 corvette and found your video which is helpful but I will say I am impress the way you put effort to install seat in your car, usually girls don’t put that much efforts to on cars . Also just wondering were you able to install back the targa top as seats look higher in length.

    May I suggest a new thermostat with the 2 tiny added holes that help prevent air pocket when replacing old anti-freeze. Call around to find a NO-FAULT thermostat about $10 ( it remains open when fails later, engine doesn't overheat blowing headgasket ).
