Fred's got his first track event for the RS coming up later this week so it was time to get her a bit more "ready".
First things first is the RSS bolt-in roll bar. Out come the seats...
In goes the roll bar, which fits nicely I might add
Then we start prepping the 6-point Schroth harnesses
Then the SharkWerks fire extinguisher bracket/kit:
First mounted to the seat:
Seat installed:
Both back in:
Fire extinguisher mounted up:
And finished....
We also decided to do a quick suspension upgrade (a really good idea for any MK1 or 2 GT3/RS actually) in the form of the RSS bumpsteer/toe-steer kit. On lowered Porsches with a factory toe steer link, the limited adjustment results in incorrect toe geometry. This part replaces the OEM part with a fully adjustable unit, allowing the toe to be adjusted to factory specifications.
The inner, neoprene bushing is also replaced with a steel monoball, which reduces dynamic changes in rear toe and further tightens up the car's handling.
Factory lower link:
In goes the RSS bump-steer/toe-steer kit:
Have fun at the track

I had the pleasure of following Fred for a ways at TH on Friday... when he got on it - the howling sound that I heard was unlike anything I had EVER heard from a Porsche. It was incredible. A beautiful car that attacks ALL the senses!
