    Got the exact same seat in my 135. I love it. I've tried a few others, and a friend has the fia poles. I like the abe so much more. These are great for daily use. Not once have I wanted to have the stock seat back in. Drove my car from texas to wisconsin no problem. Easy to get in and out too. Also 6'3 and about the same weight.

    Dig the seats, look great. Digging the plan for rear seat delet including the plan for red and black like the M1 clone.

    At 10:54--55 you say "I just like no roll at all" What exactly have you changed on the front suspension to achieve that? I am going to change out some suspension parts to achieve that myself. I am hoping you can give me some ideas. Thank you in advance and I really appreciate your spot on content.
    Thx,

    Always wanted some Recaro PPs in my M3 but think I'm going with the Cobra Nogaros instead. Even here the seat belt receptacle seems annoying to deal with. I wish they just made it like the Porsche carbon buckets where it's a cutout.

    I'd recommend a 981 cayman S 6spd if you can find one. imo not too old not too new and tons of aftermarket parts from soul exhaust and other companies.

    Get into a Porsche 991.1 , Turbo S for mods, fast street car or. 991.1 GT3 as track focused car you can street drive. I looked at a 991.2 Turbo S that was moded making over 800 to the wheels but, ultimately decided on a new stock 992. The not GT cars all have twin turbos, even the base 911 so modifying for street/speed is easier. You could also go for a car that can be heavily modified to be improved, a (982) 718 Porsche Cayman with the turbocharged 4cyl. Can easily modify beyond 400/500 HP and a lot of work can be done to the chassis for handling. Able to build a really potent street and track weapon. The Cayman being mid engine layout (as opposed to 911 rear engine) the Caymans naturally handle well due to mid engine, balance and weight distribution.

    Have you seen the Recaro Classic Pole Positions with the houndstooth inserts? I feel like those would look really unique and compliment the e92 and the 1M clone

    Seats look awesome! What are you thoughts on the r888 for a daily driver (a car that might get caught out in the rain)? I need some new fronts and would like to do 265/35 r888’s but am a bit hesitant due to the fact the car is a dd and could easily be caught in conditions with pooling water.

    I mean who is adjusting their seat every time you enter your car? Shouldn’t it always be one seating position anyways? I went with sportster gt instead of pole position but found that I have never adjusted the position lol

      @@BlakesGarage That is probably quite true. In all honesty I do not have experience with either. I currently have an auto solutions ssk. I suppose I was just thinking about the price difference between the two. It seems like he has a pretty substantial budget and is only putting the highest quality stuff on which is awesome so yeah in that case good recommendation with CAE
