He never gave me his name. :dunno: All I know is he had a black 02 svt (black02focussvt on e-bay). He said he was on here for a little while, but i guess it ended up not really being his thing.
Yeah, that's him. Real nice guy. First time I met him he drove over an hour to my house to help me with my suspension. I got my headlights and grill from him too. Great guy.
 
I just picked up a full set of recaro's yesterday. Great seats. Let me know how that wiring goes, as I will be attempting it as well. :thumbup:

man i wish i could find a place to powdercoat my wheels for 25$, lucky.
Like I said, I have a buddy who works there. He calls me up one day and just tells me to bring my wheels in to get them done, and I told him I just bought these seats, and with the holidays coming around, and needing tires for the wheels..blah blah blah....But then he gives me this speach about how good of a friend I have been towards him in the past and what not, he said he would do them for free, just pay $25 for materials, and he wasn't taking "No" for an answer. And I told him I couldn't do that to him, and I was gonna pay full price, that I didn't want to rip him off or anything. But he kept saying "Im not taking 'No' for an answer, just bring them down". So that's how I got a good deal on those. (It's always good to know people :) )

Well, that being said, You have an SVT right? (edit:I can read....some times I just choose NOT to) Keep an eye on this thread in case I come across something that could help, or if you come across something that could help, please post it here. I'm not sure how you are trying to go about doing this yourself, but I am trying to find the wires/connectors through ford so it would be like they were there from factory (I work at a ford dealer part time, and when I get a minute or two I hop on a computer in the parts department and try to find said wires/connectors). The closest I have come thus far is a page that has pictures of some connectors, BUT, I don't remember what the piece looks like on the seat. How many pins and such.... I think its kind of square, but there are so many options I just stopped there. When I get a chance I'm gonna run up to the storage unit (where I currently have the seats) and take a look at the connectors and figure out which one is for the heated part. Probably wont get a chance to do that until this weekend, because I also work a full time 2nd shift job.

^^Yes, those would be the wheels you sold me :D HOPEFULLY I can get my winter tires on them this year. haha.

Even if I don't get winter tires, I already have a beater that I've been driving around for a while now. Just never took any pics of it, and posted it on here yet. Just got new tires on that thing and I think it should be good for the winter, because I REALLY don't want to drive the SVT around this winter. However, to be on the safe side, I'm planning to get some winter tires for the wheels, and get them on the car asap.

I ordered a piece from my dealership, and it should be here tomorrow (wednesday) so I will have the better part of the 4 day vacation to see what I can come up with. I'm gonna try to order my shift surround + buttons and hope they come in on friday.
