993c2s - took out some more of the enemy!
Recently made a a thread where my car (1998 993c2s) weighed in at 2959lbs (RS clutch & flywheel, bbs e88, RS door panels)
Then took out the back seat & rear interior. Car weighed in at 2900.
Installed Recaro Pole Positions weighing 27lbs w/ sliders/brackets and removed the 997 GT3 manual sport seats which weighed 51lbs (less than what I’ve seen listed online). Car weighed in a 2833lbs w/
just over half a tank
Had Danny @ Minicorsa adjust some more things. We raised the car slightly to let the suspension work better. It’s on kw v3. And ready for Buttonwillow w/ Speed District on Nov 30th. Hoping get my time down and break 2 mins. Best being 2:00:9 (cw13) running Re71R tires on the KW v3.
Also 997gt3 seats for sale. Asking 2500

i know, I know.
When I would borrow his 964 w/ pole positions my low back would hurt sometimes and I don’t have any low back problems ever. So was hesitant. Moved the pads around a bit and have been fine. Although nobody has paid replacements. Recaro doesn’t sell them in leather or Alcantara.
