My driver's seat is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) heated via natural gas injection... (some sort of methane I think).

It's for the seat belt buzzer - there is a switch in the seat. Your cars are too old to have it.

Seat heaters are easy.
We need a EBAY "classics" forum. So we can show people exactly why they should be careful. B |

QUOTE(James Adams @ Jul 21 2003, 12:49 PM) It's for the seat belt buzzer - there is a switch in the seat. Your cars are too old to have it. good thing, since it would be something I'd wire around... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) just like the seat belt light... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) white (flared '72) one has something the PO did that I thought was cool... he wired a bilge pump behind the gas tank with a switch... makes a GREAT defroster! it took me a while to figure out what it was... since it wasn't on any 914 sites... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) then I traced the wire and found a plain ol' marine pump pulling air from behind the gas take with small hoses leading to the defroster vents... |

I suppose if you put a constant 12v to the wires there, you could have a heated seat.
Without a fuse to the power source, you could have a flaming seat! Woo-hooo! |

i thought that the seat switch wouldnt let you start the car unless the seatbelt was latched for that seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

No heated seats in 914's. Just seat belt buzzers.Car still starts, Just makes an annoying noise. I disconnected mine in 74.

Can O' Sterno under the seat, Baby !!
Then when you need to turn up the heat, just add a little gas like Karl mentioned *ka-whooomp!* *sniff* *sniff* what's that smell ?? |

Heated seats and all... J. 'Bee Keeper' Bowlsby's avatar brings back fond memories of a 1.7 I once knew.

Here is another lie found on e-bay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...6&category=6430 Owner claims: 1. Only 3000 1972 914-4 were ever made. Answer: No. Closer to 10 times that number. 2. Her seats are leather. Answer: No. The seats look like stock vinyl with cloth inserts. 3. The car is a convertable Answer: No. It's a small issue but the car is really a targa top not a convertable. 4. There are clutch problems but the repairs will only be $300. Answer: What-fucking-ever. 5. Rust is superficial. Answer: Except for the parts that are not. Douglas |

They wrote it up like a 71 but quote 72... Gotta love it.
I think it might be somebody I know selling that car. B |
