Goodies for GT3.
Very close on a deal for a black GT3. Need some advice though on accessories. 1st, I need a good seat that will look great in the car, but also function as a seat for the track with harnesses. Euro seats suck for me and are really uncomfortable. Suggestions?
2nd, rims. I want to black it out like darth vader! I was thinking about getting the stock rims painted black and then picking up some CCW's for track days. Any suggestions in this area?
3rd, half cage or bar. I need something that provides safety, enables harness use but not so restrictive that I can't let my seat back. I'm 6'2" and need the leg space.
Any other "must haves" for the GT3? Man, I can't wait! It is truly a purist car without the roof and traction control...very raw. It will be 90% street, so I'm not doing any suspension work, etc. Thanks guys!!!

Rog, I love it! You're the only guy I know that will have a GT3 as a DD and a C2 as a track car.
But then again you can move your C2 around the track faster than most
We'll chat more offline when your car arrives......

Roger,
Good choice on your new car.
1. Seats: I had a set of Recaro SRDs in a BMW I owned a couple of years ago. They were comfortable on the street and good support for my skinny butt on the track. You might look at some of the seats Recaro offers.
2. Shoot me an email. I might have a set of Kinesis K28s to unload if you are interested.
3. Couple of options here but most of them cost an arm and a leg for us to get shipped here. The easiest solution is the Tequipment bar. The next option would be to get a local place, I think you use Autometrics, to make a bar for you. They could do one that would be better than the Tequipment one, be similar in price and save you the cost associated with shipping some of the good ones across the country.

The only suspension bit I would get is tarrett or TRG rear toe arm. For seats I would go with sport seat and not a bucket. Too bad recaro sporster CS doesn't have sub belt hole like the speed S. As for wheels, look around a bunch of guys are unloading them at reasonable prices.

996 car is a totally different gearbox, unfortunately.

Congrads on the new 3,
