Seat off the track? Thats a hard one without seeing it. How did you make that happen?

The heat you may have to live with.
See this thread.

I would just unbolt and take out the seat and and brackets and see if it can be put back in properly.


Steering wheel heat?

Could the steering wheel heat be that small vent under the steering wheel pushing hot air? I believe it was that case for me. Take the vent and rotate it around to close itself.

Thats quite a picture. I have never heard of the seat coming right off the rail. The seem like they are real sturdy. Maybe you can post some pictures of what that looks like so we can get a better idea of what is going on. As far as heat coming from the steering column, it might just be the heat that comes out through the center console, there is a little small rectangular vent located right underneath that steering column in the footwell. It is probably aimed directly towards you and the temp. **** might be turned all the way to hot. Heat can still travel out of the engine bay even though the heater might be off. You just simply turn the temp. **** back over to the cold side.

well the temp **** it always set to the cold side but the ac isnt working it shoot out a lil cold air but is mostly hot air. i have found out that freyon is illegal in the state of wisconsin.

our car has minor issues

1 the seating is outta place
2 our raido doesnt work (check the fuse is still good so i am assuming that the raido console is dead)
3 the heat comming from under the steering colum
4 the fron end suspention is gone (rears have been done by mr. supra)
thats bout is just needs some paint and is ready to be ridden to hel we only have 130k miles on out car but the previous owners havent taen car of the car becdies the interior everthing else is either rusted or broien or is going to be replaced.

U may want to pull the seats to see if theres sumthing that was caught in the tracks. Loose change or just about anything thats hard enough to become jammed and cause the teeth to skip.

Go for the NEO, Its their newest model and is pretty feature packed
