We're know for having two extremes down here, boiling hot summers 40°C (104°F) and beyond and
winter it drops below 0°C (32°F). But for winter as long as the heater works it all good.

You guys get snow in some places right? That must be hell in the two door convertible.

I don't think many people drive a 2 door RWD sports car in the snow. I know I don't and we only get the very occasional snow in the winter (plenty of rain though).

I prefer to modernise the other way...
Update the powertrain + brakes to remove weak points and add a Link G4+ Black Extreme ECU with launch control, traction control and all the logging/monitoring functions for track use
Might remove the head unit and run a basic amp under the seats with AUX as that's all I ever use/care about.

Get plenty of snow here. No one drives their rwd performance cars in winter. We get whats referred to as a winter beater. For some it really is a crappy beat car. Others can go a little more upscale. Mine is a higher mileage but decent awd sports sedan.

I don't have heated seats, but I do have summers that will go 12 rounds with yours. Unless I leave it baking with the top down, leather is survivable in that kind of heat.
