Funny Stuff BRGT350 and funny you should mention R.A. we were just there Aug 17 and took the Honda Fit out on the track for lunchbox touring. what a hoot :) and yeah coming out of corning 14 and up that long straight wow I did not realize how much uphill it is and it didn't seem all that long even in the Fit. Oh and Beware I think clowns invented your arm rest.... :nailbiting: Oh and I do like and agree with your comment on the MFT screen about a boost gauge ..

So when will we see this totally revamped MFT screens ? have you seen it or is it still a big secret ? would be nice if they allowed like my OBD2 reader and my phone to put a app on the screen to monitor engine stuff .. For now I am thinking it will be a cheap way to have a boost gauge without a lot of wiring just set up my Phone or extra leftover Iphone to us the OBD2 feed and show info .. just thinking aloud here and much nicer quality this time.. Glad you quit clowning around here !!! o_O

yes, but proper seats are part of having a performance car. Just the same as having performance tires, the seats are an important part of the package. The only connection between you and the car come from the seat, steering wheel, and pedals. The seat is the biggest factor in being able to read what the car is doing under you.

Something I noticed with the Recaro seats on my 8-state, 5-day non-stop driving adventure, is that I was less tired and had way less aches in my legs and back. I took my 2011 Fiesta on a 6-hour road trip this spring, and as usual, my right knee and lower back was sore when we got to our destination. The reason for my knee is that there isn't enough side bolstering to keep it from falling towards the center of the car. I am contstantly keeping pressure on my knee to hold it in place. With the Recaro seats, the bolsters held my leg in place, which kept pressure off of my knee. I have autocrossed, been on a few different road courses, drive the car daily, and took it on a long road trip. The seats were great in all of those conditions. If anything, I could have used the seats to be more narrow and a harness to really help hold me in when on the track.

Yes, the cost is expensive, but well worth it. The entire Recaro package costs less than the driver's seat in my Mustang, so I would say it is a good deal. Plus, it is more comfortable.
Me thinks somewhere in a past life BRGT350 was a Recaro salesman .. LOL just kidding as He sold me even before He had first hand experience with the seats... I'm glad I listened as once you get the car im sure its a pain and just as costly to add a good recaro seat package to the car )not that I buy a car for resale it might help hold its value though maybe not 2k worth) for my the heat is a plus too cuz we only get a Florida type summer one of two weeks at most a year the rest is moderate to flippen COLD lol
