Hello From NY!

BlueSi4 · 26th June 2008, 18:15

Hey everyone, my name is Oriol and I'm currently living in New York. I was born and raised in Barcelona, Spain but moved to the United States about 7 years ago. I'm planning on moving back to Barcelona in a couple of years, well, as soon as I'm done with school, and the car is coming with me haha.
Let me introduce my car...since this is a car forum! For those of you in Spain, my car was featured in Maxi Tuning's Reader Section 10th Year Anniversary Edition.

The 8th is taking over! Do you have your airbag lights on now that you're running those Cobra seats? I must say, they're pretty hot looking.

I've really wanted to put some different seats in, but don't want to sensor all screwed up, and annoying me on the dash.

I just have one Airbag Light on, but I've read that you can either put a resistor in there or some other kind of thing that will prevent that from happening, but to tell you the truth, i'm used to it by now.

And they are Corbeau not Cobra haha

mattsbobo · 29th June 2008, 04:43

^^^My bad about the seats
