P&J, thank you, and welcome to Rennlist!

I've actually met you a couple of times at NJMP (uh, though I forgot your name). In fact, it was through you that I learned (last fall) that Spyders can be tracked topless with PCA as long as you have harnesses and arm straps. That's when my search for Spyders began heating up! Previously, I had been putting off buying a Spyder using various excuses. As you can see, I have you to thank for many reasons!!

I hope you find Rennlist to your liking. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Yes, you've definitely helped me and I thank you.

Strange thing is, last time I was at NJMP (late August) the track workers required ALL Boxsters to run with the top down - with or without harnesses and arm straps. They cited some NJ law that it's required. We all thought that was pretty strange, especially since I had been there in July when tops were required UP.

Well, I wasn't complaining and loved it! But some people didn't feel the same way (didn't like it).. Let us know what NJMP says on Friday, as I won't be able to make it... Due to my crazy work schedule, no DE's for me until mid-October. October is when my Spyder will debut on the track. Can't wait!!

Beautiful car... Congrats !

I love those seats, too.
Just curious, are these seats available as an option in the new 2013 Boxster ??

Heard back from Suncoast and she said that all wheel caps are interchangeable. FYI.

Thank you, George! The GT2 sport bucket seats are available as an option on 981... in other countries. Last I checked, they were not yet available in USA. Eduardo (z356) would be the perfect person to ask about this. Hopefully he'll chime in.
