911 Carrera RallyCross Project

We took the car up to the Sno*Drift rally in Lewiston, Michigan this past weekend. Well, my friend Ray did. I drove the van. It was the cars first long distance run so we were a little apprehensive but we needn't have been. The car performed flawlessley and was a big hit.

As seems to be my style lately parts keep showing up that I don't have time to install as it's wheel season. Here's some nice Corbeau harnesses for instance:




and what's this?




Seats!




One skinny for me and one medium for a passenger. As you can appreciate, I managed to find time to install the driver's seat at least.

Sliders mounted to the bottom of the seat




Adapter test fitted:




and bolted to the sliders:




Et voila:



We still have to install the crotch strap but the final position needs to be dialed in better first and that may depend on the steering wheel. And we gave to do the other side too of course. Not a great weight saving but I can already feel how well this seat and belts will hold the driver in place. OE driver's seat with sliders was 33lbs. The Corbeaus are 25lbs and 26 lbs similarly equiped.

Anyone want a nice pair of OE seats?




Feeling very pleased with myself I took the car home in anticipation of doing some ice racing at the weekend but the event was cancelled due to snow! yes, really. Never mind, there's a rallycross this weekend and those guys don't cancel for anything. Press On Regardless.
