I'm getting my Cantrell Motorsport roll bar tomorrow (finally - 11 days shipping to FL via YRC). I also ordered a left hand and right hand sub bar mounts from him (http://cantrellmotorsport.com/produc...ub-belt-mount/. I'm going to document the installation of the rollbar and the sub bar. Shouldn't be too bad.
I dont necessarily have the leg problem as I lock my seat belt tight against me (doesn't let me slide forward). but I did have the problem that my leg was rubbing against the speaker on driver door aggressively. It was like a cheese grater to my knee, I now have a nice burn mark from it. This might not happen to you. I have very long legs and they are bending even when seat all way back.

I had this happen to me once on my 997.1 RS until I got a roll bar / 6-point. I wear a race suit, so I didn't experience this issue in the 991.

It was so hot this weekend!!! How could you do it? I was sweating in shorts and a t-shirt.

P.S.
I love the decals you have on your car. They looked great

Haha, nicely done. Told my friend that the red Noble? Would go off or spin. Right again.

Small suggestion, i think you Are too friendly / accomodating when pointing by and getting off line. Cars coming up might be caught off guard (even worse a red misted Car may just fly by without Point by) and your picking throwing up crap and you might get out of your rythm and surprise yourself. Lifting just enough to let a car on the straights once the are passing is nice but lifting too much in the corner may catch someone off guard as well.

Good point, Peter. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. Good observation and I understand what you mean.

Another awesome vid, hope you guys had fun this weekend. I know that I did . The disappointing part is that the weekends have to come to an end and everyone needs to return back to their daily routines.

I do have a 2015 with bucket seats. There are others here that have experience already with aftermarket seats. They factory buckets are hans compatible and I have getting my Cantrell Rollbar in today (after 11 days of transport). I also ordered a pair of the new sub-bars from Cantrell.
