I can just put a horn button on the dash, it doesn't have to be on the wheel, so if I can't make it work to my satisfaction, that's what I'll do.

When I lived in Hawaii, I had an old 240z that needed a horn to pass inspection. I bolted a squeeze bulb bicycle horn to the side view mirror to pass!

That's excellent. I think that actually WOULD meet the letter of the law lmao.

And for posterity's sake, if you need to wire up the stock horns, it's the GREEN wire on the GREY harness.

Very nice setup!

Welp, today I ordered a couple things..

1) Fast Intentions CBE non-resonated with customized post-muffler treatment (rather than blingy tips I'll have straight pipe I can wrap)

2) Kirkey 47 series Intermediate Road Race seat. Kirkey Racing - Browse Products

Interesting. I've gone back and forth on whether to use metal seats like that before, I still haven't ordered one way or the other and won't for a couple more months probably. What's the mounting plan?

Dropping the seat off with the car @ the cage builder. He's to make a mounting platform for the seat and brace it to the cage.

It's going to take 3 f'ing weeks to get the seat (supposedly) so I'm going to have to delay delivering to the builder, unless he thinks he can get started with the work before the seat gets in and just leave the areas around the driver until the end.

Oh, and the seat weighs like 14 pounds and is a full tilt road racing seat. I don't care for the overpriced and overweight 'composite' seats that usually get put in Z's. The real superlight seats (carbon backed) are way, way outside my price range, so this is a good compromise I think.

Alternatively, you can get a planted or that other brand of seat bracket (I can't remember, it's a small mom & pop that supposedly makes a superior product) and just drill and mount the aluminum seat to it yourself. Just gotta be sure you brace to the cage.

Thanks man. Nowhere near the level of awesome as yours...yet? :P

I have SO much work to do and SO little time to do it in. :(

Supposed to go to the cage guy in 2 weeks. Still have to pull dash and delete A/C as well as clean up the wiring harness situation so he has room to work.

I really don't want to cut the harnesses, so I'm going to have to get creative...

Once you start cutting out the factory wiring, it's very liberating :)

I don't know why I have such a mental block for it.

I've already done stuff that is irreversible without spending thousands... what's one more thing? Sigh...

Mike 02-01-2013 09:49 AM

I do too. I just have my loose ends coiled and tucked away. I'm just afraid if I cut something off, there is going to be a wire that is looped in a circuit with something important that will be cut.

Sh0velMan 02-01-2013 09:50 AM

Exactly.
