Some of the Porsche owners may know our seat,at all shows and occasions I have been asked for seats for the 914 to fit the rear original padding.
Well the prototyp is made and we are working on the production model,it will have more ,or actual real side support,using the original mounting and tilting mechanism and a integrated headrest.As said ,the prototyp is been made,so no pictures are available at this point,the side will resemble the Rallye ST.
The seat called "LeMans" in memories of the 914/6 GT of Ballot Lena ,will be available at the beginning of next year in leatherette/basket weave,leatherette/corduroy or in leather/ corduroy and leather with perforated leather.
Pricerange will be according to the Nürburgring.
The Nürburgring and Rallye ST fit only without the rear padding or with alterations to it.We hope to meet most of the needs of the 914 comunity.
For questions call 702 353 7175 ,GTSinLV@aol.comor go toGTS gran turismo sports

Hi All,
Finally we are ready to take orders again, it's been too long for our taste.
All new steel tube frame seats are now powder coated and have additional safety features which are required by the PCA and SCCA like all seats have openings in the seating and in the side of the frame for routing of the seatbelts through the seat-even the LeMans and Nurburgring models.
The LeMans will be a bit wider-still snug but to accomodate more drivers and the headrest will be shorter and less forwarding-Thanks to recommendation from 914ern-but all dimensions stay the same and look wise apart from the headrest the same as the previous models.
Now can the Rallye and the Sebring mounted on the stock tilting /slider bracket of the 914 without modification.
The Rallye has a more classic sideline and a deeper seating position.
We also have 2 more new seats the Avus-looks like a Nurburgring but has the dimensions like the Rallye-fit's as well the 914 sliders and the TransAm which will be a steering wheel problem in the 914's.
Prices stay either the same or will be a bit lower but that will be determined once production here in Texas has started-Yes most seats will be Made In the USA and all others like the ST and RSR are Made in Germany-nothing more from Italy except leather and some leatherettes.
Will post pictures of all seats once we have made all models.
Thank you all for your interest and trust.
