OK. I was following this thread in the Garage and there was no definitive answer as to what seats will pass the new rules for the ant-submarine strap. It seems like a lot of people are going to have to replace their existing seats. I thought it might be a good thing to have one place for the "official" list.
Question #1: Do you still need a new seat if you use a six point belt instead of a five point? Question #2: What seats are both approved and fit the 914? |

Anyone running a Kirkey Intermediate Road Racing seat? If so any likes or dislikes?

Anyone running a Kirkey Intermediate Road Racing seat? If so any likes or dislikes? (IMG:http://www.kirkeyracing.com/images/Thumbnails/47%20SERIES%20-%20RIGHT_Medium.JPG) I am having Kirkeys installed later this month. A friend has them in his 911 and I found them very comfortable and supportive. More comfort to me than, say, Sparco Evo "largeass" models. I am a bit "wide" and will run one sixe for me and a narrower one for the passenger seat. I am worried that the size of the sidebolster may necessitate a switch to a removeable steering wheel though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

The steering wheel clearance is an issue getting in and out, I have to push the seat all the way back. It's mounted to the sliders so my wife can drive it. Solid, good seat, you can spend more and get more, but this one is real good. |
