I spent the morning looking at various parts for the Cayman. Just about the time I was ready to quit I came across a set of Sport Buckets. I've got to start a crack habit. It would have to be cheaper!

This brings the count to 4 sets of seats in the basement. I guess I could mount them all in a row and show old racing films in the basement.

I should have the buckets and LCAs installed for OVR's Mid-Ohio event next weekend.

Are these the new Porsche sport buckets with the side airbags? Now you have to decide which set to bring down to the Dragon!

Pete,

Yes, the new sport buckets with airbags. I will most likely try making the trip with these. It will be the acid test for my latest Ti additions to my spine!

The other sets are 996 GT3 seats, 2010 GT3 sport adaptive seats and a set of Sparco Monza seats.

Needless to say the wife is not happy about her space.

I broke out my Dragon mug for coffee today. Looking forward to the trip.

Alan: did you find a set used or did you just buy from the dealer?

Thats a great idea, perfect it you buy a popcorm machine with the next set of seats!

Can you elaborate on your seat collection ?? Are you looking for mainly track, track and daily driving or mostly driving some trac ?? Love to hear your conclusions when you return.

I know the feeling, i have a set of GTS classics Lemans seats in my man room and a pair of GT3 RS.2 Sport buckets... running out of space.

What was wrong with the seats you had? Or do you just like collecting seats?

Stick with the seats! BTW are you preparing the car for track use! Seems to me the sport seats are great for street use.:cheers:

Just got back from Mid-Ohio with NASA for the weekend helping a couple of friends. I saw a few Caymans and a silver 06 go to a new owner.

I'm prepping the car for light track duty. I want to keep this car streetable. It is way too much fun as a dailey driver to relegate it to track only.

Alan, are these heated? Or you no longer care for heat?

My thought process is to find a set of seats for the track that I can put in and take out without issue. The sport buckets would be a close fit with no airbag issues. The 996 GT3 seats would work well for track but I'd have to deal with the airbag reset. The adaptive sport seats would make a set of nice daily drivers.

I see myself keeping the sport buckets and maybe the adaptive sport seats. If that is the case then I'll sell the 996 GT3 seats, the Sparco seats and the manual seats that came in the car.

I don't believe the sport buckets are heated. I didn't think to ask. Since they will only be in for warm weather I'm not too concerned.

Sounds like a good plan; sport buckets for track and adaptive sport seats for the seat. You should buy Durametric's 6.0 so you can reset the CEL which will probably get occasionally.
