Racing seat recommendation
I am modifying a 944S for track use and will install a racing seat. I am short (5'4") and have always felt that I had to sit too close to the dash with the stock seats. I would appreciate recommendations on a racing seat that would be most comfortable for someone my size.

There are several manufacturers that make good race seats:

If you can't find anything "off the shelf" that works for you, here is a suggestion. What I have done, for myself and customers, is make a custom seat. It is not as difficult as it sounds.
Take a standard bare fiberglass shell seat, mount it to a base or track, then use a foam kit like this (https://www.truechoice.com/prodinfo....ber=DMS%201040) When the foam has hardened, lay up a layer of glass or carbon, cover with nomex cloth...and you have a comfortable custom seat.
