Aftermarket bucket seats
I'm looking at making my 991.1 gt3 more of a safe DE toy, pulling the stock lwb seats, and bagging them for later resale to cut down on wear/tear. Have any of you guys done this and if so how heavy are the stock seats vs what you installed (seats, mounts, belts, hardware) I'm assuming I'll have an airbag warning light if I remove the stock seats? If so can this be defeated or switched off by a dealer? I have heard of some cars deploying all the bags or doing funky stuff when the airbag system has been tampered with. I don't want to create another unsafe situation, by trying to add more safety to the car. Yes I'll be installing a proper harness bar, belts w/ sub, and buying a Hans. My other thought was a used Cup car, but that's a whole other can of worms. |
I pulled stock seats and installed
Recaro Profi's - Leather sides and bolsters Cantrell Roll Bar 6 pt Shroths Dummy Seatbelt inserts of the retained 3pts for the street. The airbag light cannot be turned off. |
How heavy are the stock lwb seats/rails? Can the dummy seat belt buckle be purchased anywhere? Thx for the info |

I asked 311RS if they do in fact have a way to defeat the airbag light and they told me they don't. There is only one person who has claimed they can defeat the airbag light, but it has to be done in-house. He is actually a member here, Sprchng. He posted it in this thread here: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9958...2-project.html

Perfect thx guys. Please tell me there is just an airbag light and no chimps/bell sounds, after the factory seats are removed. |
^ no chime just light

Would black electrical tape work here? Or are other function alarms in the same space?

Just finished mounting the Recaro Profi SPG seat with BBi seat base and Schroth 6 point camlock harness on my GT3.
I had read many post regarding delete airbag light after installing aftermarket seat/harness and would like to know if anyone had found the correct resistor instead of using black tape:icon501: Any advice is appreciated. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...8931486105.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...8e41703b48.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...4543c6778a.jpg |
