GT3 Seat Question

Can someone answer a few questions pertaining to GT3 seats for me?

1.Do the seats slide far enough forward to put a child in a forward facing baby seat in the rear?
2. Could a small adult slide through in a pinch if they had to?

Thanks!
Jake

Unless the car is a cab, the rear seats will be pretty much unusable with the GT3 seats.

That's what I thought. Thanks. I'm having problems finding decent subframe brackets for seats other than GT3 though. Everyone's subframes are crappy steel that bends very easily.

I think I'll end up putting the stock seat back in the passenger side and just using the Cobra Imola II seat on the driver side. At least with the stock seat, I'll be able to get to the rear seats. I just need to find a better subframe for the Cobra on the driver side. My current subframe barely goes far enough forward to reach the pedals and its about 1/4" too high.

I'd like to get a GT3 subframe for the Cobra seat but I'll bet its over $500.

You definately cannot get a child seat in once they are installed. You can consider pemanently installing them before the GT-3 seat goes in and just leaving the child seat installed. Access to the rear is quite limited but I've had a large child get through normally and once back there, they had plenty of room. Forget an adult unless they are under 5 foot and 100 lbs.

I have these already. It's the subframe below these that is the problem.

Unless the GT-3 I saw yesterday had something really special about it (and as was my understanding anyway regarding rear seats in the GT-3) there are no rear seats in the GT-3. It looks as though there are or could be from a casual observation, but there aren't. As a matter of fact, again referring to the one I saw yesterday, there is an ugly yellow sign on the front seat backs (sign facing rearward) saying that passengers should not sit in the back.
