Thumbs up Out with the old in with the NEW! Recaro SPG's!

I just put these in yesterday and have to say that I like these a lot more than the Bride Artis III's I had previously. The upper back section of the seat is a bit wider which fits my back better. They fit really snug and to give you an idea i'm 5'7" and 160 lbs. The seat is definitely for those that are thinner and I would not suggest these to anyone that has a 38" or larger waist.

Wow very very nice, looks very good and clean. Well your Z is incredible and has made my very exclusive alternating Z picture screen saver

Oh and is that a pre-made cage/bar or is that custom?

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. If you want more pictures you can click on the Jtuned Feature link in my signature and go to the article.

The roll bar is pre-made by Kirk Racing. I opted for the X-brace option which will run you around $400 total + shipping. I recommend that if you do order one, try to find someone in your area that is willing to buy one with you to save on shipping costs because they can ship up to 2 cages for the same price.

Somewhere between 2800-2900 lbs. I haven't gotten it corner balanced in a while

Very nice Rick
+1, definitely can't go wrong with black

While we're on topic about weight, (this is completely out of curiosity) how much weight do you think the roll cage adds?

I would say the roll bar adds somewhere around 40 lbs. This is a wild guess since I never weighed it

Looking to get some racing seats for my car too. Leather seats just arent very supportive. Those are really nice.

Looking good!

Little off topic, but those are the B Magic CF doors right?
I rememember you posting that you put them on a while ago.
How have they held up? Still fit alright?
Did you ever put the stock glass into them, or did you just leave it out for weight reduction?

I'm curious because I have a set on order and I'm not sure what I want to do with the windows. My bodyshop was telling me they have had some bad experiences with power windows and CF doors in the past. So I was thinking about maybe cutting some lexan and putting it in there with maybe another rubber seal inside the door at the top to weatherproof. Don't know about price/feasiblity on this though.....

Yes sir. Fitment is still great. Actually the funny thing is a forum member came by the other day to pick-up a front bumper I sold him and he checked out the doors and was amazed on how snug the doors fit. I am still shocked myself! haha

Anyways, I am still running it with no glass etc.
