I am quite impressed with the e diff on the 135 as it doesn't appear to give up much to LSD equipped cars. Not sure if I would change it out until I hear of some demonstrable time advantages. |

You know that was I was paying myself out, and I hope you were not serious . Well, at least everyone else seems to have got that and had a laugh.

They look very nice but yeah, they don't look like any recaros or sparcos that I've seen. I want to get a pair of fixed back buckets too. I was thinking of maybe the Sparco Evo or Pro 2000.

Doesn't seem to be on the Recaro site even for OEM. The beauty of these seat is it still comes with the airbag, carbon construction and it still reclines forward so there is access to the rear seat. Heard they are very hard to get in and out of though.

I can only imagine how much that will cost... A fixed bucket without all the extras in carbon costs about $2500+ each and the BMWP recaros with airbag, reclining etc cost about $2000+ each. I reckon for those, you'd be looking at at least $6-7k per seat if you're lucky lol.
They do look great with heaps of support and all those functions however they might not shave off too much weight. I sat in some BMWP ones at the last dyno day at Advan and they (Recaro Sportster CS) didn't impress me too much. They look amazing but they seemed less comfortable than the M Sports and didn't seem that much more supportive because of the lack of adjustable lateral support. Also, they were too wide for me, not just around the trunk but also the shoulders. Might be different when driving around though. Do you know how much your seats weigh? Also, where did you find them?

I found a bit of info.
http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...saletequipment These are fibreglass versions with a carbon fibre surface and weigh 39lbs each. They also cost $7,000 per seat. I'm not sure if the ones you posted are full carbon throughout but if that's the cost for just fibreglass, it's possible that the carbon ones might cost upwards of $10,000 each... |

- just like renovating the fibro house, much easier approval process compare to demolishing it and build a new one

Here is the other site selling the seat: http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p97064.htm The problem I would say would be the electronics and seat belt point compatibility. However, someone is trying to adopt it into their R8. It is not available at the moment for the 991 GT3 at the moment in the US, due to change in US legislation change, and they are currently developing a new seat and be expected to be available in about a years time.
