yea i wanted michelins, they had a pair on an unsold 04 GT3 that the dealer offered to swap for me, but i didn't want one year old tires.

anyway, michelin cups or PS2s go on as soon as these get worn out.

GREAT looking car. Some photos in the daylight would be good.

Are you going to thread the stock 3-point belts through the holes in the GT3 seats? That seems to be the Euro-way to do it.

The boat with my GT3 is supposed to dock at Baltimore tomorrow. Maybe yours is on it too, although I note that your onvesl date is earlier than mine.

1. i will take some daylight outside 'arsty pose' photos soon haha, right now the sun sets at like 5 PM here

2. i told my dealer to string the 3points through BOTH holes, but they didn't listen, they said they'd do it next time i take it back (to get fire extinguisher installed and some other small things done.)

3. i sure hope my car arrives in baltimore soon, it going to be a great month, sensory overload, hope it doesnt snow anymore

PS. the onvesl dates are not accurate at all.

good luck with yours

cheers

Hey Moogle,
Congratulations!!! Beautiful car.
Mine's due in San Diego on 11/19. I plan to test port security and see how close I can get.
Would love to see some daytime pics.

Moogle,

That's an incorrect seat/belt installation. The original belts MUST pass through the shoulder hole of the seatback that are closest to the B pillar. See attached pic of my Clubsport Mk.1

The Schrot harness pads are optional and I do suggest you get them for at least the drivers side.

Congrats to the car!

Ciao,

Johannes E.

yea, i told the dealer to string them through BOTH holes, i was very explicit. in fact i expected it. ... and they didn't do it.

but i wasn't about to refuse delivery because of that, the next time its in their shop (probably a week or two, to get the fire extinguisher installed) , this issue will be remedied.

i use the 6point harness all the time anyway, feels 'proper'

Is the ClubSport a GT3 option on the Windows sticker?

NJ-GT,

Can't be factory Clubsport with the Tequipment rollbar and leather seats. I think Moogle is gradually turning his new baby in to a Clubsport look-a-like.

Ciao,

I hear that the new Pirelli Corsa "System" is a better tyre package than the pilot sport cups, with acceptable performance in rainy conditions, as opposed to the PSC's abyssmal performnace in the wet.

Moogle - the P Zero Corsa "System"...original fit on the 360CS and GT3RS is NOT an R compound tire...

The equivalent Pirelli - ie R-compound - to the MPSC are the P Zero Corsas.

If there is a problem -- it is..... those Pirelli's don't appear to be the " Corsa System" tires, based upon the tread pattren I can see.

In any event, congrats on the new car, Tom. Drive it in good health!
