Ok, the Porsche Tequipment roll bar does not like my new Rotec's. I heard DAS Sport makes one that works with aftermarket seats.

I am still waiting on a call back from Das sport.

Any other recommendations?

Frank, what problem are you having with the fitment. I'd be more than happy to troubleshoot if possible. You aren't deformed like Paulie are you? If so, then I may not be able to help.

Sounds like Ben wants a punch in the nose. Then Ben will be deformed too.

As to my mis-shapen form, it is not a pretty sight . . . which is why you see me in loose fitting golf shirts and jeans, even in the heat of summer!

The aftermarket seat will not go far enough back (with the Porsche roll bar) for me to even get into the car.

The stock seat, though will go back far enough for me to drive, but not to my ideal position.

I understand the Das Sport bar will allow an aftermarket seat to go back far enough to use my ideal position.

I was just wondering if that is true (Das Sport has STILL not gotten back to me) or if anyone knew of another company that made such a roll bar.

I could be mistaken its been a while since I've had to do the research but I think it might be rennsport that makes a roll bar with a recessed Harness bar that allows the seat to go back a few extra inches. If not I believe Vivid may have something similar as well.

BTW: EVERYONE HERE should stop by our pits. We'll have lots of snacks and drinks and a fancy car to look at, too!

I look forward to seeing everyone I know and meeting everyone I don't!

Of course, there will be naked dancing after dark in our pits!!!

This worked well for me. Passed tech at the mile too. Not bad on install either...

Notice all the space behind the seat that is half way back.

See you on Sat hopefully!!
