Passenger side still to go in but mega chuffed Superb, this is my ultimate modification. Is the seating position much lower with the pole positions fitted and do you feel that your any further back? They look in great condition, how did you come by them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Nice seats and on my wishlist for some time. an*l mode on they're not Pole Positions. Also noticed you haven't threaded the seatbelt through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came by then by chance, someone had them fitted to their 986, after weeks of talks he decided to sell ! They are the design911 ones if I am not mistaken ! It is a bit lower but not too much ! They are bolted to original Porsche sliders so can be adjusted back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic was taken as soon as it was bolted in, I was too excited to wait ha 😂. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it's ok, but after reading yours.... Is the indy going to fix it or will you do your own? Mine passed, with advisory on number plate light and anti roll bar link rubber. All pipes and underside of the car was virtually corrosion free, apart from the exhaust. The garage owner left it up on the lift so that I could have a proper look underneath, and it was GOOD! (apart from the exhausts) Next job will be replacing the clamps and clamp bolts on said exhaust before they fall off. How can it be so clean everywhere else while the exhaust bolts are almost gone?

Patt Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Belts should be like this (The padding was to stop the rattles plus I found the girls complained the belt cut into their neck due to the lower position): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfirstboxster Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Not in the same league as GT3 seats but I fitted a pair of horns to replace the one weedy working horn and also cleaned out the radiators and condensers ,( which was strangely satisfying ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Laming Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Car booked in for a re-map. Interestingly, Dean at eporch said that it had already had a map in it !! His guys were confident that there was still a performance gain to be had, and if I was not happy with the outcome, they would re-install my old map and refund the cost. Couldnt really drive it much today, as I had to go to work after they had done the map. But, the car does feel a bit livelier off the bottom of the throttle opening, so guessing the torque increase comes in much lower down the rev range. Time will tell, but positive at the moment. A forthcoming track day at Thruxton will give me some answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
