dude, it's bad news for you knowing me and we are in pretty much the same bay area! i am a crack dealer.

did u see that i just lowered the price on the wing/deck!!!
did you say "track wheels"
i got a set of kinesis k28 for sale.....
i also have 1 set of lightly used mpsc you can play with.
these are GT3 fitment so fits your car perfectly.

ah... 997.1 GT3, i sold my last one two months ago..

anything else you need?

if you are on stock suspension, then you are in luck. my 6gt3 coil overs are coming off and will fit your car as well. tony will take them off and put them on your car ;-)


ooooooh la la....

Mooty, you crack me up. Yes, you are a certified crack dealer. They should lock you up!

How many thousand dollars are you asking for the k28's? Could be interested.

Luckily I already have PSS9's so I don't have to buy all your parts for sale just yet.

I hadn't thought about removing the sliders to lower the seat rather than the bar. Damnit, that would've made more sense. I think it was still pretty low, but there may be another DAS bar in my future. Just not Mooty's

GMG bar provides more than enough clearance. I'm about 6'4. Also, center console delete goes a long way. A MUST for tall drivers.

GMG bar looks great. Definitely provides enough recline. Will have to consider it as well.

Unfortunately, I have a sunroof car so Mooty and Mike's bars won't work But agreed, the red would look great.

Have been thinking about the center console delete, but just haven't pulled the trigger for fear of having to re-route all the seat heater and gear. I think I'm convinced.

I've been lurking a while, absorbing the knowledge of this forum. Threads like these are great for me at 6'6", 230lbs, and in the market for a 996 GT3.

Thanks!

loworbitsi,

Good to see you're paying attention. I can save you a lot of time by going with the Recaro Profi SPG XL's right from the get go. They're literally the only seat that fits my frame and it still barely fits. As for the rollbar, listen to these guys, they're experts.

And one last thing, of all the sports cars I've driven (Corvette, Ferrari, Aston, etc), the 911 is one of the only ones that 'fits' me the best. None are ideal, but it's definitely the best.

Enjoy!

I'm 6', 225lbs and not very flexible. You should've seen me try and get in/out of a Lotus Elise. I swear that candid camera guy was around!

I have the nomex seats and at 6'2" I need to take the bottom seat cushions out to fit in with a helmet on. Not sure if you can do this with the leather seats.
