Daily driver with GT3 seat

NEVER thought I would be doing this but will be switching back in my OEM drivers seat at the weekend. Using the GT3 seat as a daily driver has trapped a nerve in my back again, and I am not a fat bastard (just ugly !) as I run 25 miles a week, I have wide hips and am 6 6. Its a case of sitting in the seat, which locks me in and then twisting my legs and my hips then don't twist, my Ferrari racing seats are far more accomadative

Sorry only had one (cos of the kids) and I sold it to somebody at the office. OEM reinstall took me about 2 hours but thank the lord I labelled all the connectors correctly on the original way out. Now its super comfy but like riding in a sedan, the GT3 seat and OEM are like night and day with nothing in between

Aftermarket Recaro....perhaps....or perhaps the new GT2 seats OEM (expensive....but they look amazingly good and probably are a bit more roomy...rumor is that North American GT2 seats will be bigger then European seats....fwiw). I'd email Gert at Carnewal.com.....site sponsor I think too.

I loved my GT3 seats, they were great, but you have to be the right size or they are going to be real uncomfortable. I drove my car as a daily driver for over a year and no problems and took it on a couple of 3 hour trips!!!
