Smile GT2 seats x'mas present or

Hey fellows,

I have the standard seats with yellow stitches. I love the yellow stitches!
I am thinking to get the GT2 leather bucket seats for my tt. But I don't think they are available with yellow stitchings from Sun Coast. Otherwise it's a pretty good deal I think. I don't track my car. But I do go on super crazy twisty mountain roads once a week. My body just rolls too much, Even the sport seats wouldn't be able to hold me well at all.

Short Shifter?
ECU tune?
Capristo valve exhaust system? ( have europipe EP1 already ) Is it louder or sounds better? Maybe I should ask Stef for the EP2?!?!
Aftermarket 19" wheels?

I just got the yellow pinstripes and I think they are alright.

I would say ECU and suspension, the seats are great but if you're not gonna track I dunno if it's worth it, it'll make daily driving more of a PITA.

I went short shifter, and back to standard. I just liked the flow through the gear better with the standard shifter

Tune, and wheels, I had the turbo wheels painted black as well, just never liked the way they looked, switch it up, other than that your car looks great

If you're on stock suspsension and you're doing "super crazy mountain roads" the suspension should be your first mod. You may find that your seats are fine.

I don't think I can help you with the stitching. If it was possible, it would be CRAZY expensive.

+1 for seats, Short Shift Kit, and engine mounts. )

The RS engine mounts replace the standard comfort (hydro-elastic) mounts with a solid rubber mount. Shifting and handling is improved, the engine stays more firmly planted. The average driver wouldn't notice, but an aggressive driver would. Ideal for autocrossing, DE's, and spirited driving.

There are more aggressive versions in the aftermarket scene, the factory RS mounts are about as aggressive as you can get without negative side effects (aftermarket race versions can be too rigid or noisey).

Hey europeancar! Its time to go the tune my friend . Don't waste it! Do a good tune and a clutch at the same time...then worry about seats .
