My dad is at Roebling this weekend club racing with PCA in his SP3 classed 944S2 which we just recently swapped a short 5th gear into the LSD transaxle. He said it's awesome now and keeps pulls down the straights in 5th. I can't wait to drive it later on at a DE.

Looking forward to seeing your testing results on the Tarmac II's!
yeah mine was very "smartly" modified. 2500lbs, big brake, good shocks, 305's in the back, 285s in the front, short gears and drove it with my wallet strapped to the dash as a reality check !

Once you add in the sliders, bases and seats...........

same weight as stock

very disappointing. But I have to loose weight to get into a regular SPG again...THEN we can use the brackets that allow the seat to DROP DOWNB between the mounts to the FLOOR.

Until then I'm eating veggies and drinkin water.

The car now is 2650.00 on the scales. With the SPG Recaro's it would be 2600 even.

The seats look great and was hoping they weighed less than oem so I could add to my wish list. I like the sound of those spgs!

Planning on selling your stock seats by chance?

Let me know

Awesome build BTW. Inspirational to see someone do the mods that matter most, but the ones that not everyone will do!

So will already produced Yellows become "Blacks" in a sense?
