Have decided to make my car a full track car over the next few years and get a vert for the street. Now that I have a truck to pull the car to the track I've stepped it up a notch with a proper track seat.

After sitting in a pair in my buddy's turbo C4 I went with the Ultashield Pro Roadrace 17" seat w/ 20 degree layback. To mount them I chose the Hardbar seat mount kit by Gary Hoffman as it's the best out there.

After a little tweaking I got it just right tonight and hooked up all my harnesses.

Here's some pics... VIR should be a blast next weekend with the stock seat gone, 50 more rwhp from the cam, and a new set of Kumho V710s.

Bring back video of your fastest laps. Do you have a camera and mount? What is your fastest lap on full at VIR? We need a base time to see how much you pick up. I just bought some V710's also. Can't wait for the Chin and Viper Days events!

I do, but I let my dad borrow it to tape his laps and never took it out of his car, I'll swap it out for some footage. I really don't know what my fastest lap is, the only event I've ever been timed at was Viperdays in 2004 and I ran a 2:15 w/ 370 rwhp, Kumho Ecsta MX street tires, and a stock seat and seatbelt. Other than that who knows.

What wheels did you put the 710s on? Ever get the trans and dif coolers etc done?

I put the V710's on stock wheels. No, I am still gathering all I need to install the coolers.

With the upgrades you've done, you should knock off 5-6 seconds.

^ I'm most excited about having a real seat that I fit in... I'm now low enough to be able to properly heel/toe w/o my knees hitting the wheel, and I can see out the windshield when looking to the right w/o having to look down below the rearview mirror. Seems being tall isn't optimal when it comes to racing/tracking cars.

Now I don't have to spend the effort fighting myself in the car etc.... can focus on driving and driving fast. The cam and the new tires are just icing on the cake.
