Heated Seats anybody?

[gearheadE30]

Does it still smell new? ;)

Your interior is immaculate...

I'd be afraid to eat off it.

Because I wouldn't want to get it dirty!

[colombacho]

thats puuurrrfect!. I hate people that that have a much better interior than mine, especially a cab interior .

Uhmm ... where do you live? whana ... meet up for a little cruising?

What did the harness/ switches cost and do you have the part numbers ?

Good investment for a car that is only gonna be driven in the summer. :D

Hey, it's human nature to want every little option.. that's the way it is..

[colombacho]

I think it would be dope if there was a folding side mirror option.

I am one of those people that hate to see the windows up on a convertible, regardless of the brand. To me, it looks ridiculous. Oh, and I refuse to put the top up unless I get caught out in the rain.

But when the sun goes down, it can get REALLY chilly. Even with the heat on high, when it's in the 50's, and you're driving 50 (or more), it gets cold.

Now, a flick of the rocker switch and aaahhhhh. Sooo nice and comfy.

Does Stratolounger offer this option? I need one.

Thanks! That's how it started anyway. But since I put an s50 under the hood, I can't stop driving the darned thing. In fact, I took it out today!

February 3rd in the Northeast and we have a 49 degree day? Man, I HAD to go to the store.

But you're right, it's not a daily driver. Although it should be - that car is a whole lot of fun.

James, have you installed the heaters yet?

[AndrewBird]

My comment was directed at James, not you Doug. In a convertible, heated seats just make sense.

Hell, I just bought a pair of seat heaters for my MG, but I drive it year round and the heater sucks ass, so...

[rkettner]

i think some of my heater coils in my seats are broken cause the seat back works but not the seat bottom. do you have any part numbers for the coils in the seats? passenger and driver if they aren't the same?

this has got me thinking.. my ix came with heated non sport seats, so it has the harness and the switches all wired in. i hated the non-sport seats, so swapped them for leather sport seats from my is (sparco's going in the is). If I get the heater coils for the sport seats, i should be able to put them in and use the existing harness/switches correct? let me check realoem on those part #s.

what would top it off would be to have a heated steering wheel. I hate cold fingers. Ther is a guy that did a retro fit of his e46 with a five series heated wheel. i wonder if it can be done to the e30?
