From experience I can say that the new buckets seats are way more comfortable then the old 996 ones as I have a 996 GT3 with factory buckets seats covered in fire retardent fabric.

I just came back from Germany where I accompanied my brother to pick-up his Euro spec GT3RS. We drove around southern Germany and Austria for nine days and my back wasn't sore or stiff. If I would have done the same trip in my old bucket seats I would have definately felt my back get slowly going on me.

Personally, I think these seats are worth the extra pennies.

If you remove the center console, there are brackets behind it for you to bold a plate which extends down a bit and you can weld a few nuts behind the plate and bolt the fire extinquisher to the plate. no holes to drill and does not take away floor space.

Do you know how the "back" and "middle" feet are mounted in the rear? They are covered by the carpets which looks nice. Did they weld another plate back there and bolted it on the same as the "front" feet? Or did they drill some holes where you can't see?

doc2s

there are only front and back feet no middle feet. the back feet are bolted to the shock tower.

scss98

OK thanks, so no holes to drill then. Just lift the carpet?

doc2s

yes. remove the cover and there are 3 nuts for each shock.

FYI, according to Donna Amico of PCA-
"the Porsche (GT3-RS) roll bar is not acceptable for racing. It is a “street” roll bar and Porsche never intended it to be a racing roll bar. The tubing dimensions are only part of the problem – it also fails to have the proper bracing for the main hoop. It is not marketed by Porsche as suitable for racing. You will need to install a roll bar that conforms to the rules in Appendix A."

the way the did the main hoop and the tube over tube connection are two reasons i have not installed one in my car.

My GT3 is almost here. I was going to install the P rear rollbar for tracking.
(Not racing), and race seats, 6 pt harness. Do you'all think it's not worth it
to install the rollbar. What do think about tracking the car with race seats/harness
w/o the rollbar?
It would be nice to preserve the rear area for storage ect. But safty comes 1st.

mooty

have the RS bar is better than having none.
with the bar, you can still store plenty of stuff in the back
imo, tracking without bar, harness and proper seat is not a good move.

Get the bar, seats and harnesses if you will track it!!!

rickg87

I know thats the right thing to do

How many have painted and how many have powder coated the RS rear cage., and how did any of you manage with the factory installed felt at the top of the cage main hoop and the black stick on stuff for the belt sections .

The actual Schroth belts supplied for the seats from Porsche do not require the anchor points you have installed. They bolt on right onto the seat belt adaptor.
