[V8] S4 seats vs. V8 seats

[Carter Johnson]

See, my solution was to find a set of S4 seats and
have them re-sprayed/dyed to Tavertine.  I think
that's the easiest solution.  Why S4 seats and not V8
sport seats?  Well, unless I'm wrong (and I may be -
someone correct me), the seat toggles on the V8 sport
seats don't match the 4.2 seat controls.  Yes, it is
just looks, and yes, it matters to me.  Plus, I don't
believe that the S4 seats will cost all that much more
than the V8 sport seats.  And (AND!) the S4 seats look
coooooler.

Of course, this is all a pipe dream.  I'm still trying
to figure out how to keep this thing running.  The new
problem (condition?) is hesitation when first started.
 The car doesn't run well for a few seconds.  Still
leaking oil and steering fluid, needs new front brakes
(I guess that catching the front brakes on fire thing
DID have consequenses) and I've still got to put the
H&R's and Konis in the car, with the B5 S4 wheels. 

Luckily, my new toy (Trek 5000 OCLV all-carbon road
bike with Spynergy SR-3 wheels) is keeping me too busy
to notice all the things the car needs.
