Random thought... anyone ever made chairs from a set of S4 seats?
Not even sure where I'd begin to use the search function to find this one. Has anyone ever made up a set of chairs for their house from a set of UrS4 seats? I've got a passenger seat sitting in my basement right now all cleaned up, just need to grab the drivers seat out of the car and clean it up. Sat in the passenger seat last night... and oh does that feel nice!
Couldn't be that hard... make up a frame (need to figure out optimal height), mount the seat, supply 12v for things like recline. Hmm... heated seats? hehe.
Now I just need to figure out how to make a love seat from the rear bench.

I did that with the power front seat from a Buick LeSabre...
It was very comfortable, actually. Stupid looking, but comfortable. I used rocking chair legs (or whatever the curved part is called) to make it a rocker. It eventually broke (I'm not at liberty to say how). You will need a bigass power supply to power the motors.
Needless to say the Buick seat was very much of a college dorm room kind of style, but the Audi seat could potentially look decent. But it's still going to look like a car seat.

Ya... not much you can do about looking like a car seat...
And as for power... I'm thinking smallish 12v battery with a trickle charger. Would hardly ever need to be on. I was cycling the seat with a small motorcycle battery the other day when I was cleaning it. Might take a tad more juice when someone was in it... but you wouldn't need a full size car battery.
Would definitely suit my lifestyle though... I spend way too much time with cars. They'd make great conversation pieces too. hehe. And as for the love seat from the rear bench... I had good luck with the black leather interior on my 90q when it came to that department *wink*... so I imagine a black leather sofa sort of setup could work out quite well. hehe
