Hey, a lot of you guys saw my car's interior..natural brown and metro blue carpet....

Say I want to get 5/6 point, a B&K harness bar, and seats (natural brown?)....as a system: does anyone know of a good option that folds so I can use the back seat...odd question, I know.... Sparco Milano in brown like a natural brown? Etc.

Figured I ask you guys. sean_996 and I talked and his bar idea makes a lot of sense...I just don't want to ruin the car's interior with discordance if avoidable.

If only GT3 seats folded......they come in OEM leather.

Jeff, what are you going to use the rear seat for? Once you put any seat in with harnesses, the harnesses must hook up to something. So once you put a rollbar in it's useless anyway :/ Unless you get a removable harness bar.

GT3 seats in natural brown would be gorgeous!

+1 Removable harness bar which I think autopower has one.


Or get the Das bar, it's gret quality, and you can still access the back seats as it leaves the majority of the torso up area clear in the back. I probably would have liked it better than the GMG bar I have except you have to drill holes for it, and it's not as pretty.

I am for the removable...what Sean_996 and I had decided on ....we all think alike. I am thinking custom fabrication to make a 2 hour removal 2 minutes.....really. Instant track car from dd....

Spoke to the local PCA shop (got advice from a 6so'er).....Recaro makes a folding seat. The real question is can they do "natural" brown for less than the US deficit....

I have a 7yo and 4yo who love to ride in dad's car....I have driven with all four of us to "grandma's" house over 25 x....

The AvicD3 is wired to play video from an ipod...and it does. They watch "cars" or the like....

Well just a "thought". We could also consider Chin events or NASA events or PCA races. would be great if even once or twice a year we pick some awesome event like a VIR and meet up!!

Again, was great seeing all you guys!! I am still looking for a new front splitter!! I am sure this would have taken my 2:11 lap to sub 10 if I had one on!!

Tom. At least 15 seconds.. ;-)


My front splitter is an Ebay copy cat.....was under 300....then shipping about 350. MA Shaw had some OEM quality ones too, more "flexible" but they were 700.....fyi only. The shop in Seatle (Sunset? could get them too....about 750). I used SEM chip guard in satin black...I never painted the bottom of the car....figured it was 10 bucks for the can and I'd be banging on the spoiler a lot.... Best.


I vote for VIR as an annual event! Zone2... Maybe a fall event too....

I'm in for a Chin or NASA event.


Watkins is a grip though, about the same as a trip to Road America, tough choice.
