These seem to be hard to come by at the moment. The Brey Krause are around but 5 weeks to get here and almost $700 just in shipping!


TPC Harness bar




4 Point




Pole Position


He mate, I have only ever had the TPC harness bar.

Originally i ran it with stock seat. Now i have a Recaro Pol Position ABE. Which is better for plugging in the stock seat belt when not at track, than the old Pole Position was.

Are you in Brisbane or Goldy?

I am in Brisbane. I've I've looking at the TPC but seems as if stock is non existent at the moment. Earlier in the thread when you said 4 Point i thought you were referring to a cage and that you swapped the harness bar out for it.

What mounting points are you using for the lap belts.

I have the folding LWBS in mine so should be all good!

Sorry for confusion.

My race mechanic custom made some loops that bolted into factory belt locations. The belts just clip on and off easily when streeting.

(Vince Markov at Rencal motors. )

Do you have a pic of your beast?
Did it come with the LWBS or did you fit them later?

LWBS from factory as an option. I have it listed on CarSales but am about to take it down. I'll keep it as a Targa toy now instead.

Ahh. *That’s* how a used tire should look .

Even with negative 4 camber, it looks like you’re still getting a little more wear on the outside than on the inside!

I see your car has LWBS and you have the rear seats. Did your car come with the rear seats or did you add them?
I saw that if you ordered LWBS in the T it deleted the rear seats.

Have you used the rear seats (meaning having someone sit in the back)? I would love to get these, but I need to have a usable rear seat as my daughter uses it all the time. This is one of the reasons I bought a 911 - more usable means able to drive it more.
How is the access to the rear seat? Do the LWBS fold forward enough for easy rear seat access?

You car looks stellar!

GTS comes stock with rear seats. I assume he added those carbon buckets separately as the are not an oem option on a 991 gts...

He said they were a factory option on his 991.2 GTS.
I found a brochure from 2018 or 2019 that shows them as being an option

Perhaps it was an option in the Australian market.

There were 2 sets of buckets offered on the 991.

LWBS - Light Weight Buckets. These don't fold. Offered on the GT cars and T. Available US and RoW.

P03 Sport bucket seats - Folding Sport Buckets. These are the 991 version of the 997 GT2 bucket seat. Not configurable in the US. The rest of world could get them on the GTS (and GT cars, etc).

With the folding bucket seats the rear seats are just as usable as they are with regular seats.

I love the new levels of turn in. I was a little concerned at first -4 would be too much, but it seems perfect. A Good year RS has little cuts on the outer edge, so its actually worn quite well. They weren’t any more pronounced than that from new. I should get another track day from them.

OS Giken


Finally full Mechanical diff. The E-Diff over heats and can’t handle hard tracking.

$20k wasn't cheap but your GTS looks f-g amazing now IMHO.

I too have a white GTS, albeit a 2015 NA. I've been playing with the thought of getting an Akrapovic titanium exhaust for the GT3 and replacing my GTS rear bumper with a GT3 rear bumper. Have been playing with this idea since I bought my GTS but then the 911R came out and so I got second thoughts as I didn't want my 911 to look like a copycat.

Seeing yours made me want to pursue that idea again. I'm stuck at what to do with the parking sensors as GT3s don't have them but I would truly want to keep on my 911.

Anyhow, congrats. 3 months from now you'll forget about the $20k but you'll smile every time you walk to your 911. That matters
