I got mine yesterday...

But has anybody noticed that the teeths are uniformly chips on one side. Is this intentional. I never seen a maxima flywheel before so can;t tell whether this is how its suppose to be or not.

The teeth aren't chipped, Fidanza cuts the teeth at an angle to make it easier for the starter teeth to mesh.

Those look very nice Matt.

How much do seats like that go for?
Are you still going go use your stock seatbelt system?

That's correct.
I've got a set of 4pt harnesses in the garage, but haven't had time to install them yet. when I do, I'll make them removable, as I don't expect everyone getting in the car to feel like dealing with them... although for how I drive, they should be wearing something better than the factory belts.

how are you going to make them removable? i thought you bolt them to the frame of the car.

I have a few tricks up my sleeve.


The ones I bought are permanent bolt-in type, but I'll send one back and get a removeable one for the passenger seat. it's got an extra set of buckles on it so that they can be removed without unbolting the whole thing.

I'm not going to put a cage in it... unless they make me.


Aasco and Fidanza flywheels are just about the same.. differences are trivial.


the seats took some getting used to, but are extremely comfy on long drives. the suspension kinda beats on you in the factory seats, but in these you're supported so well that the only thing NOT supported are my man-*****..
even my huge gut is supported now that I've got the 4 pt harness in on my side.

just curious, how are those seats when dealing with shoulder movement? with some of the seats i've sat in, some give more shoulder range of movement, while some just won't let you budge.
