Maybe sneaking in a salad every now and then and laying off the cheeseballs might help with that Greg! lol...

I think I'm alright in that scenario, I'm more concerned about having room for my elbows flaying about... I used to run my GTO seats up pretty close to the wheel basically to make sure my right foot could get up on the gas pedal to make sure I was getting full WOT. If I try to run these Recaros up that close, I run out of room for my left elbow as it hits the seat bolster and door panel.

I've reconfigured the gas pedal a bit to make it easier to get WOT without having my foot way up on it and I'm hoping that is my cure. We'll just have to see how it all fits once I make a run or two.

The lap belts are a mo-fo to adjust...for some reason I can't pull up on the adjuster to pull them tight without having a bit of slack in the lap belt itself. What I ended up doing last night was to unlatch the belt, snug it up, then suck my gut in while relatching the belt. I got it tight and centered that way but if I have to reposition the seat for any reason, I'll have to readjust the belt again. That is not going to be fun when hopping in the car for another quick run on the autocross course. That's what the test n tune the day before is for I guess...to get all of that stuff set.

It is going to be more of a pain for any passengers I take for ridealongs. Getting them strapped in (people who most likely aren't accustomed to harnesses anyway) might be cumbersome because they all might be different sizes...
