Ta Seats In!!!

oh crap, i got the Trans AM seats in finally today. looks AWESOME. certainly far more supportive (in the vicinity of 1000% more id say). i dont know if anyone has done it yet but i hooked up the power motor in the driver seat so now i got power driver and manual passenger seats with power lumbar and side bolsters in both. i made a discovery while installing them. the GN and TA seats motors, motor plate mount bracket, and wiring is exactly the same, even down to the colors of the wires! what i did was disconnect the TA motor with mounting plate from the TA tracks and do the same to the GN one and swap them. so now i have a TA driver seat with new TA motors. this makes the install sooooo much easier b/c i was able to plug and play the wiring harness for both TA seats and all i had to splice was the power and ground wire. NOTE: my stock power wire didnt work so i had to run a new one from the fuse panel to the seat wires. heres a tip if you get TA seats: before removing both TA and GN seats move them all the way up as high as they will go. this will make removal of the tracks a hell of a lot easier as you can now get a socket in there. this project took me about 2 days but that was with my mess ups and i had to get new nuts. done again it would take about 3-4 hours i suppose. it is very worth the hassle IMO. you can put manual tracks in the driver seat like ZAM70 did if you prefer both seats to be manual. i wish i coulda taken pics but my bud didnt bring his camera but if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me
