I went with a new set of CCWs and love them, but the new OZs are a great value. For the price and piece of mind you get buying NEW track wheels it is prob one of the best deals out there.

M3 guys who remember Roadfly are a rare breed these days!!! Used to be my favorite board.

I don't think so, but was on a lot of the other BMW boards. I'll check out the Sparco Ergo.

Do any aftermarket race seats bolt to the factory sliders with side mounts or do you have to take the entire stock system out and use aftermarket mounts/sliders etc?

Brey Krause has everything u need for mounting

CosmosMpower

Looks like they have a few different options. Does everyone side mount buckets or bottom mount? Are there any aftermarket seats that can bolt to factory slider similar to how GT2 buckets are a 4 bolt install?

bk mount to tub. use oem 996 or 997 (996 is more readily avail) slider. whatever side mounts you want. custom fab to make it all work

Really prefer a known bolt in solution

The easiest solution is to buy a pair of 996 GT3 seats, which come up for sale all the time. I had them. Better are the GT2 seats, but they are harder to find and double the price. Both use the stock sliders. As for wheels, I had used CCWs, used Fikses and used 996 GT3 wheels (for snow tires), now all sold. The diff doesn't blow up, it just stops limiting the slip. The one absolute need is alignment; rotate the front struts to get 2-3 degrees negative camber. You already have split lower control arms in front if you want more. Lots of choices for roll bars and harnesses. Finally, you may decide that the suspension is just too soft. If so, Damptronic B16. Don't go with much stiffer springs if you don't want to hate the car on the street. On the coolant fittings, I tracked my car for almost 7 years and had one small coolant leak. A gusher is not inevitable. I did replace the coolant with Water Wetter.

So you ran it without welding or pinning water pipes and never had a problem besides a small leak?

What's a good price for used gt3 seats?

Terry L

I don't want to be branded as asocial but yes. I did run Water Wetter. I bought and sold my GT3 seats for like $2200, but the market may have changed. Sold my GT2 seats for $5000 and I sold too cheap.

FYI I bought a set of 6gt3 seats for $3000 not long ago.

Just to be clear, I pinned the lines in my new car while the engine was out and I would recommend the same to all. It's just that I don't see it as must do right now.

My coolant lines blew on my way home from a PCA DE. Lucky it didn't happen on the track i'd just been on a few hours before. Your coolant lines may never blow. Conversely, you can take a chance of never killing the guy behind you on the track, or spending a delightful early morning on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Your choice.

Do the .2 gt3 have the coolant line issues also
