Power seat and gauges question

JiMi_DRiX · July 2nd, 2008, 04:23 PM

I'm looking for white gauge inserts that look like the ones the Cobra's have without having to buy an entire cluster, and ones that dont have that cheesy font and layout. I found this set at AmericanMuscle.com, is this the best I can do?

They look good, but whats up with the color changing and stuff? Does anyone have this set?

I also need help with my driver side power seat. Since I bought the car, it's the only thing that doesnt work right. It wont move front to back, and will barely move up and down. (luckily its right where I need it to barely reach the clutch!) I took the seat out once, and messed with it, and it seemed to work almost perfect after I unbolted the seat, but would stop almost as if the motor was getting hot and needed a short break to cool off. I had a problem however that the seat tracks became "off", and I had to take apart and reposition one of the sliders to get it to bolt back down to the floor on both sides. Then after that, it wasnt working again. You can sort of hear/feel the motor wanting to go, but it wont. the track seemed clean, and I wd40'd it a little too.

As far as the seat rack goes, my car had the exact same problem. I had to push the seat while using it underpower to be able to move it, big pain in the ass. So i ditched it, and put in a manual seat rack that was from the passenger side of a V6. works a lot better now.

not a bad idea. does yours still have the power lumbar support in it?

you can probly get a newer seat track from a junk yard for around 30 bucks. That's what I paid for one when mine went out. The bitch was that it was the wiring and not the motor, luckily I took that home along with the seat track. They go on Ebay for 80-120 bucks.
