Changing seats - Sacrilege?

[gingernuts]

Just bought a pair of recaro touring car style seats for the race car, but considering using them in the CSL to reduce the wear on the orginals and for a bit of extra comfort, and for the harness loops for the trip.

However, is it sacrilege to change the inteior on a cesil. Kinda feels like it would be a bit wrong to change anything and to "muck around' with it.

Thoughts?

I put a bucket seat in mine.
Just be sure and keep the original ones.

Have you got a picture of yours in situ?

think these may look slightly out of place, butits more about having the harnesses in properly and being safe and comfortable. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/8346_450145131746542_693519236_n.jpg

they do look a bit aggressive and may not work with seatbelts due to the high sides

i have a Recaro Profi SPG XL on drivers side and love it

[chicken]

not sure I would use those on a road car, "eared" seats, reduced visibility and no longer allowed on tourist days at the ring

profi spg's are awesome,

[gingernuts]

They are primarily for the race car so needed head protection. I have the schroth quick release harnesses in the csl so no worry about seat belts. But if they aren't allowed at the ring that's made the decision for me

Here's some pics,
I made my own floor mount as you can see so please don't laugh :hahaha:

Think I asked this question before but I cant quite remember, Shimmy you are pretty tall. With the Profi SPG does the seat sit any lower or indeed does it sit a little higher ???

My standard seat is in its lowest position and whilst it is fine I would like to sit a little lower...

[gingernuts]

I find this too. I'm only 6ft but i do like to sit a bit lower. Got mine on the lowest setting and its still not enough

I had profi spgxl Without runner first and it was very very low (even I looked short in the car)

Now with runner it is still lower than OeM seats.

I wont do harnesses without a roll cage

I'm fitting gt3. Seats to mine so as can use the schroth clip in harness set,
There are conflicting view about this, I,e should only be used with a cage.
As said before you may get trouble from marshals at tf as "eared" seats are no linger permitted.
