so i'm a noob when it comes to DIY...

i have a '97 240sx (kouki) with the stock leather seats (cream)...they're ripping and not the most comfortable or track-ideal seats.

i always see ppl talking about rails and this and that - what do i actually need to do to swap the stock seats (or at least the drivers) with a racing seat?

can anybody recommend a decently priced setup? red seat would be preferable, just bcuz it would look good on the black exterior...not really a big deal though...

also have the same question about steering wheels - do you have to change the hub to swap the wheel with an aftermarket one?

assuming i don't have any special tools (other than a typical toolbox), will i be able to swap seats and/or steering wheels myself (while doing a decent job)?

thnx!!!!

googled for 2 seconds:http://www.modacar.com/product...ASPAR/Steering wheels you need to change the hub, to replace the seats you can use a regular tool box, its only 4 bolts for each seat. But for the steering wheel you need to get a hub puller i think its called, you can rent them at autozone or anywhere like that and its simple to use.
