heinzboehmer's 2002 Topaz 6MT Coupe

Trade off with the front handle is you lose the ability to mount a fire extinguisher under the front of the seat-- if you care.

We gonna walk down to .. electric avenue .. and then we’ll make you sliders.

I’m just here waiting for Heinz to come around

Any body got a set of manual sliders to weight? I can weight some electric ones for comparison.

[Bry5on]

It’s literally the location where weight matters the least too. I’m betting less than half a pound difference.

Instead of the channel locks, use a ratcheting 8mm box end wrench on the allen socket. ***I assume its an 8mm, if its 7mm, then switch to 7mm wrench, etc

Agreed, would be nice to have the actual data too.

The real cost of power is speed of back seat access.

I'm pretty sure I can package a fire extinguisher and the slider handle, there's a ton it space under there. I'll mess around with the CAD later to make sure.

And I'm immune to your peer pressure, Bryson. It really is just a preference thing, I like having the manual sliders. E82 has manual seats too and I've had no desire to change that.

One bonus that comes from being stubborn is that if I can package everything for the manual sliders, it should work for the electric ones as well.
