I've heard pretty hefty prices quoted by US members, have you gotten a quote for aus?

Thanks Quack
I would have picked them with out a doubt it I had built the car.
I am looking at a set of GT3 sport buckets which are similar they do recline not that that is of use in a GT4 but that's as close as I can get in a Porsche seat.
I have not been able to soarce a set of GT4 sport buckets.
I will keep on looking.

Can people please let me know what thier delivery kilometres where when they picked them up from the dealership new.
All my previous cars have been around 20 kms.
Is 40 kms an issue?

Average race track length 2.5KM.... maybe your car had a 8 test laps to get warmed up
j/k.... depends where your dealership is and if they sent to somewhere for accessories such as Xpel, Tint.....etc.

This is prior to having it wrapped (Xpel)
It's only been PD and cleaned.
No other accessories fitted yet.
Appearantly up to 60 kms is normal just wondered what other people have picked theirs up with.

My last car Cayman only had 21 kms on it I was surprised to see 40 odd kms on the clock.
It is what it is I suppose .
Like you say by the time I get it home it will have double that.

I find the folding bucket to be more comfortable than the 918 fixed back style, but it is all personal preference.

My car had 31kms on it, but that included about 10kms from the PDI depot they use.

Mine had about 24km on it when I picked it up. It now has over a 1000km


Been vaguely following the run in procedures. Mostly staying under 5k rpm, but had a couple of excursions up to 6-6.5K rpm. In another 250-500km I'll drive it normally.

That is what I would expect and have had in the past on all my other Porsches.
31 kms or 24 kms would be pretty normal low 20s normally.
Not sure why this one has 43.
