My 1998 Carrera 2 Manual is starting to feel like a very well sorted car now following some scheduled (and some unscheduled!) improvements/repairs...
I do however enjoy a somewhat more focused driving experience and also drive a Tillet equipped Caterham 7. I'm finding the combination of age, shiny leather and design is limiting the support, feel and feedback I get through the standard fit hard-backed sports seat in the 996.
I'm thinking about fitting a replacement drivers seat that retains folding but holds me far more firmly in place (keeping the inertia reel belt) for road use only. Have any of you done this? I will keep the current seat for re-fitment / originality. I'm not planning on spending a fortune but see nice, reasonably priced options from OMP among others. It doesn't necessarily need to be leather even.
Many thanks!
