Sliders. I simply wouldn't be able to get in or out of the car if I couldn't move the halo seat back.

R.

 

Sliders in the 911 with the halo seat, hard mounted in the spec car with the seatback brace...

 

Mounted to the Floor to get the seat lower.

 

Sliders. Both tracks lock.

 

Sliders, but the crappy sparco/corbeau sliders that you can pull apart (completely) with your hands. I'd like to mount em up on some 996 sliders.

 

My side: fixed.

Passenger side: slider.

 

Sparcos bolted to the floor, both sides. I tried Sparco sliders, but they made the seat too tall and they seemed really wobbly compared to direct floor mount.

 

OK, I'll drive your car.
When?

 

Fixed to the floor.

 

Sliders - it is a 2 driver car. I remove the butt cushion to gain 1" for me and to raise my Dad so he is high enough to comfortable see out.

Originally I have my Racetech 4009 Hans seat mounted with a sparco slider...the passenger seat is fixed.....I thought it felt a little loose then I watched my videos and the seat is swinging all over the place

Look at the difference between drivers seat HANS extension and the passenger....I'm getting 4-5" of sway vs less than 1 on the passenger...& the passenger is about 50lbs heavier than me....

Needless to say I took out the slider and went with a fixed mount....MUCH better now!

 

I have a set of BK fixed seat mounts for the GT3 seat if anyone is interested.
Good for more headroom and to save weight.

I remove the butt cushion too and now i'm buying a new (smaller) helmet to fit! Couldn't reach the pedals with the floor mount; guess i have a long torso.

 

A quick question for the people with halo seats.......

Wouldn't having a removable steering wheel eliminate the problem of ingress/egress with a fixed seat?

 

In the 911 I can get in and out without moving the Halo seat and without taking the wheel off. (with helmet and hans in tow) I don't have nascar bars, if I did it would be impossible to do without removing the wheel. I had to rework the window net mount to get it out of the way as well.

I'm a bit nervous about depending on a slider to work to get out of a car on fire. They don't work that well just sitting in the pits, upsidedown or after a whack? sketchy at best. If you're taller than 6' the seat might be far enough back, to give you enough room, or you could recline the seat a bit if it works with your driving position.

 

A race seat on sliders? What's wrong with you?
