Hopefully I will be doing some HPDE with my local PCA club this spring / summer since I'll be in fellowship and have slightly more free time.

First impression of the GT2 sport seats:

They sit higher up than my usual driving position with the comfort seats, but the amount of reclination is the same though. It's definitely harder to get in and out given the height of the side bolsters but overall the seat feels the right size for me. Comparing them to the GT-R Black Edition Recaro seats, these are actually wider and more comfortable. In the GTR seat, I feel that my thighs were pushed together but I can move them freely in the GT2 seat. Overall, I am happy with my choice of these seats. They are a great compromise between street and track use. I'll go to some PCA driving class next spring to test them out.

Weather sucks here, so bear with me for now:



Need to go back to the dealer to get the belts installed correctly tomorrow though.

Look forward to seeing you on the track. I have bk fire extinguisher mount in front of my GT2 seats but haven't bought a fire extinguisher yet. Can you tell me where you got yours? What kind?

That's the H3R Halguard HG250B model.Bought mine with the underseat mount from Rennline. The quality of the Rennline piece is really amazing!

All you need is a 17mm wrench to do the seat belts.
I changed mine to go through the top harness guides.
im going to change them back to the over-the-seat style as its easier to grab thea belt andin will be a pain getting anything into the rear area with the belt in the way .....

Beautiful car KEV! Kind of amazing that I'd been shopping and brainstorming what to do to our new Targa interior only to come across this thread where you've done most of my wishlist!

Thanks for the pointer to Exclusive Options, now I've got even more choices to make.

Of course with the new year calls for new picture. here's the current evolution of my C4S. There are some rear end work in the works so it'll be a continuous all throughout next year it seems.

Your car looks awesome. I really enjoy seeing its evolution, It gets better and better.

I've kept my car completely stock for over 6 years, but now I'm getting the itch to do some modding. Your car is a poster child and inspiration for me.

Love the car think it looks amazing.

Can I ask what happened to your original lights and wheels? Do you still have them and if so are you interested in moving them on?

Thanks
