For those that have this in their 997 cup, can you post a picture that shows how close seat is to tunnel side , and one that shows how close upper part of seat is to b-pillar and door opening.

the window. The second picture shows the seat all the way back. FWIW, great seat. Way more rigid the than the OE OMP. Also, safer and more comfortable. Good choice: https://i246.photobucket.com/albums/...pseffkybfk.jpg https://i246.photobucket.com/albums/...psikfhls2f.jpg |

Thank you for this. How much space is there between side of the seat and the tunnel?
Since you are talking about installing in a finished interior, I think your best course would be to measure the width of your tunnel and compare that number to the width of a cup tunnel. If the difference is around 2" (1" on either side), you're in business. Unfortunately, I don't know the width of the tunnel and the car is not kept at my place for me to go out and measure, so maybe somebody that has a cup handy can chime in with that number: http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psnennqygr.jpg |
I'm thinking of tossing one of these into my 997 Cup and am 6'3" and maybe about 6'4" or more with the helmet on.
-bmwtye did that seat feel snug at all near the shoulders/arms or upper torso area? I actaully stopped lifting so I would fit into the cars better lol. -dogger15 when you show that second picture of the seat all the way back is it equvilent to putting say an OMP HTE XL or Recaro ProRacer XL all the way back? forwhatever its worth I can stuff myself into the Pro Racer XL and be comfortable for an hour or two pushing hard but the biggest problem is head clearance.... I can never get low enough it seems short of have the actualy seat basically touching the floor/hard mounted. Going up the esses at watkins glen for example, I sometimes have to almost lower my head down to look 'up' the hill if that makes sense. If I have my seat on the standard recaro sliders and mounts going through the bus stop can sometimes 'ring the bell'. Sorry for bumping an old thread but rather than make a new one figured I'd just ask here. |

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback guys... Im gonna give it a shot and see how it fits.

Bumping an old thread. What was the verdict on P1300s fitting into a full interior 997? Was it possible to clear the door and center console?

Per dogger15, this seat is doable in a 997 chassis. I’m going with this seat myself.
