Seats are in!
I ended up buying a hardware kit/shelf off eBay and found GT350 rear seats in NorCal and fortunately had a nearby friend drop them off in Santa Barbara.
Only $750 all in and stitching aside the best match for R front seats. If I really want to go nuts I’m sure an upholsterer...
My son does as well...though it is silly to drive a car quite literally less than 500 feet between our house and the school.
I'm not even sure the R splitter will make it though...
Gold star for you!!!
Was hoping someone knew of a decent substitute. It isn't an exact match but probably the closest that exists. Worst case, should be able to order these new since current production.
Thanks a bunch!
Oh, I am, but GT350 rear seats had white stitching so still wouldn't match. But, for cars with Recaros the material/pattern does seem to be the closest match. Now I get what you are saying, but car would not want to lose R fronts. But, I have seen zero for sale in my searches thus far between...
I know all the S550 belts/hardware/seats will all fit - but curious if any non-GT350s came with a somewhat similar cloth seat with suede Insert like the R has.
I've resigned to the fact that red stitching is not in the cards but hopefully can get close on materials.
After a few years off I'm back in the GT350 game...and moving up to an R which is exciting.
But, really want to add rear seats so wife and kid can both ride along once in a while. Car is a 2017, so in theory the Ford Performance kit would have been great but AFAIK those are unobtanium at this...
Well, that didn't take long...
AC went out again on the 25th. Fortunately, SoCal was in the midst of a record breaking heat wave so it was really easy to tell in 100 degree weather. I didn't notice in the morning on the way to work - thank God I have a short commute cause it was painfully...
Well, my car is back and AC is working, but all they did was recharge it. I can't imagine a car losing refrigerant in 1 year/7K miles without a leak.
I'm assuming it will eventually fail again and they can actually fix it then...
My AC went out without any signs of warning last Thursday. I was out of town all weekend but it didn't magically fix itself so dropped it off at the dealership last night. Awaiting word on exact issue but will keep you guys posted.
I shifted once, screwed up turn 1 trying to downshift properly, and gave up on shifting. I'd have to be a much better driver to hit the top of 3rd soon enough to make shifting worth it. By the time I approached the rev limiter I would have to brake a couple seconds later anyway.
Really loved...
Short answer is yes.
You don't have much time to mount equipment so as soon as you get a free moment in the pit garage get to work. The day is jam packed so you will only have short windows of time to change mounting locations, etc.
Just did the 1-day school on Monday and we wrapped up about 4:30. Airport was only a 30 min drive so even with gassing up rental car before returning I had plenty of time before a 7:25pm flight.
Airport is west of SLC so I can't imagine there is ever much traffic between the track and the...
Registered for April 1st & 2nd this morning and finally finished booking flights, hotel, and rental car.
2 months from today I'll be tearing around UMC - hope to see some of you there!
