Hmmm??!? Very nice indeed. I think you have a lot of us thinking now! Me for sure. Let's see: Sharkwerks 3.8 conversion, some new suspension parts, Gt2 seats and a nice roll bar!! Sounds like a great Valentine's gift to myself. Thanks for the post.....I think!!

Looks great! Very helpfull writeup for others to follow, this is why I like this community so much.
Question: Do you have to disconect the battery if all you are doing is running the seat belts through the seat openings, the shop that installed my GT3 race seats omited to do so.

Thanks guys and glad you like the modification. docdan and snowborder54, you guys will love the GT2 seats if you decide to get them - they are very comfortable even for long trips and most importantly great for track!
Fern, I thought about yellow harness but went for OEM red which turns out well. Looks even better in person
No issue there. You will be fine

Very nice project and looks great.
Those GT2 seats are fantastic and beautiful. In my opinion they are a much better choice especially compared to the Sparco DTM seats.
I went through hell with those seats and finally lost a lot of money dealing with them. The fit, the height, the belts and on and on.
Enjoy and good luck.

Looks brilliant Mike! I'm (still) in the middle of a clubsport v GT2 seat decision for my RS, but have to admit leaning toward the GT2 option. You're excellent coverage is helping tip the scales further, and thanks for that!

Another great project and write-up. Thank you!
You stated the GT-2 seats are very comfortable, but do you miss the adjustable recline? How much time have you had in them now? Definitely moving toward purchasing these myself.
Also, what camera/lens? Nice close up shots with flash....

Oh, my digital camera is super cheap .... it's more than 4 years old. It's a Minolta Dimage G 500 5.0 mega pixels. I have to be very patient when I take a picture. It takes a while to focus etc. My wife been bugging me to get a new one .... and a new laptop top lol
