David,

Those seats look awesome !

Not too sure about the seatbelts, though...

Is that the only option with the GT3 seats ?

I'm sure they are great for the track, but the look like they would be a pain in the a$$ for daily driving.

Nick

Sorry to bring up an older thread but those seats look amazing! Are they a direct fit into the 986 or were custom seat sliders required?

Those belts are only used for autocross. They are not in the way when I'm driving on the street. The back parts sit behind the seats, and the lap belts unclip. I use the stock belts for street driving.

They are a direct fit. No additional brackets needed. I just unboxed them and bolted them right in.

David, the seats look fantastic. Love the bi-color theme you have going. Let us know how comfortable they are for rides 30mins and longer.

David how much does that car trailer cost?

Also since you dont plan on selling your boxster soon you could sell your old seats kinda cheap, put that money in a money market or mutal fund making 5-10-15% a year and make some good money if you would have just kept those seats in your basement for 2-3 years

Those seats look great! Would you mind answering a couple of questions?
1) Did you need to unhook the seatbelts, and if you did, how did you keep the airbag light off?
2) Any idea on the weight savings over the stockers?
3) Cloth vs leather: during auto-X, do you get any sliding around on the leather?
Thanks

The seats are way more comfortable than the stock seats. Since I just traded the Boxster in, I put the stock seats back in. My back was killing me sitting in those. The GT3 seats are harder to get in and out of, but way more comfortable.

I don't remember the exact cost, but it was a little over $10k.

I'm glad I didn't sell the old seats. I just put them back in the other night so I could trade it in.

You reuse all the stock seatbelt parts. No airbag light at all. Just unbolt the parts from the stock seats and bolt them to the new seats. The harnesses for just for racing. With the harnesses on, I never had any issues with sliding around on the track. You are strapped in and can't move. Was nice to not have to worry about trying to keep your body from moving. Made it so you just had to concentrate on driving.
