That's funny. I didn't know they made 17" fuchs. Weird.... And yes, your seats have the same consistency of a 1978 Chevy Caprice station wagon 
Come on man, get that thing back up to speed. Your giving the community a bad name!

You're killin' me! ....At least you didnt use a Ford Pinto as a reference...in this economy, pimping myself out to afford a nice set of "leather" Recarros is not feasible...but I'll keep trying

Gotcha. Missed that one. He's certainly throwing around that "kit car" slam a bunch. Ironic considering his car does not have factory interior or wheels 
Yep
Correct, neither Porsche nor Fuchs produced 17" but a few people build them out of factory wheels, and there are the 17" Rota Fuchs copies now.

I was actually thinking 22s...raising it 12 inches and make it look like the rally 959 of yore...

Thanks Caps and Thanks Pipes...
I just had the engine completely rebuilt...kept it pretty much stock with a couple exceptions, hollowed out cat, B&B one in, two out exhaust, Steve Wong chip and K&N filter...will probably go the header and air mass route to gain some more HP and response...
