My '88 911 has original electric non-sport seats with 3 point lap belts and I'm hoping I can get some advice on upgrading to something that will hold me in better and accommodate 5 or 6 point belts. I have a harness bar (thanks Carl!) in anticipation of the new setup, but after a bunch of research I think I have more questions than when I started.
Would a sport seat like the Recaro Speed, which reclines, prohibit me from entering certain events? I like the idea of still being able stow stuff behind for the occasional sunset/back country/101 cruise. I drive it to work 1-2 days/wk too.
Or could a racing seat like the Pole Position be mounted on sliders so that it could move forward far enough to allow the same access to the rear as a reclining seat?
Does anyone know how much the Speed weighs? I can't seem to find it anywhere. The Pole Position is listed at 15.4 lbs but I don't think that includes the mounting hardware.
Also, my coupe has a sunroof and I *barely* fit with a helmet. Would either of these two seats allow more headroom?
Thanks for any suggestions and tips--and thanks to Keith, Yoichi and Gary at Saturday's AX who were kind enough to let me sit in their seats to get a feel for fit.
