Recently, the front and rear tires have been replaced with new ones, and the engine is also riding in excellent condition. The air-cooled Porsche 964 has been dissatisfied for some time.
that isThe point that the shape of the seat does not fit my bodyis. There are two genuine seats for Carrera 2 in 964, a standard seat and a sports seat, but mine is the standard seat.
Normal state
The 964 seat is made by Recaro
This sheet is made by RECAROAlthough it is lightweight and thin, it has a strong sense of rigidity, but the width is narrow for a few minutes.Even for me, who has a standard Japanese body shape, the backrest feels like the back is sticking out.
Also, the seat and the cushion in the center of the backrest are very soft, the butt is shaped like a sunken, and the backrest is so soft that it is soft.It tends to be a stooped posture.
Therefore, they often suffer from back pain.
In addition, there is no non-slip processing like modern leather seats, and the skin is slippery, so it is very slippery.When driving, the posture tends to collapse.
Also, when a large lateral G is applied, extra force is applied to maintain the body, which makes me very tired.
Despite such dissatisfaction, I didn't care about the joy of driving the 964, but one day I was shown the 964 with a seat cover.
The 964 seat has a design that blends into the interior as if it were genuine.Moreover, when I was allowed to sit down, I was impressed by how comfortable it was.
When I asked the manufacturer immediately where to buy it,You can buy it onlineAnd that. After that, I decided to order immediately.
This seat is not a general-purpose product, but is completely designed exclusively for the vehicle model.At the time of writing the blog, Porsche has 964, 996, and 997 carversHowever, if there is no compatible model, it seems possible to request development from the homepage.
This time I chose the Dotty LUXUR-AL CANTARA seat, which has Alcantara seat and backrest, and the entire seat is made of PVC leather.
There are 964 seats for standard seats and sports seats, but my 964 is a standard seat, so I chose the standard seat.
The color of the Alcantara part can be selected from black and wine red.Here, black is selected from the atmosphere of the interior and exterior of the car. And the PVC leather part can be selected from black, gray, beige, mocha brown and aroma wine.
Samples of this part can be sent free of charge if requested, so it's a good idea to check in advance. I chose black to match the color inside the car.
And then...You can also choose the stitch color.This is the most confusing place, but you can choose from 14 types. At first, I thought about blue and green to match the body color, but I rejected it because it was not well balanced with black leather.
Next, I thought about white, but I felt that it was a little too noticeable because there was no white color on the interior and exterior.It was a little darker, and I chose the silver stitch to match the silver of the wheel and ordered it.
About a month after ordering, the seat cover arrived.
Than I imaginedThe texture is high and the quality is quite high.At least it can be said that the cost performance is sufficient.
It will start to be installed immediately. FortunatelyManuals for vehicle models by the manufacturerI decided to proceed as it was.
First of all, from the impression that it was installed, it took about 2 hours, butThose who are relatively easy to installis. You don't have to remove the seat, and you don't have to worry about putting it on. It is a level that anyone can install unless it is a very clumsy person.
However, theThere were some difficultiesSo, I will share the information only there.
that isRemoving the lever that tilts the backrest of the seat forwardis. Since it is on the left and right of each seat, it is necessary to remove a total of 4 levers. In the instruction manual, "You can remove it by pullingHowever, it cannot be removed by pulling it normally.
Even if I put a lot of effort into it, it doesn't move easily. I had a feeling that it was about to break, so I took out the interior peeler and sandwiched it from the left and right to gradually lift it up using the principle of leverage. It was easy to take by repeating this.
After that, it doesn't take much time.
Simply remove the plastic cover on the seat back, cover it, and secure it with velcro or string.
If this part goes smoothly, the work will be completed in an hour.
First.It looks after installation, but it's really great.This is a result that I can't think of as a seat cover, and I feel that it has a high-class feel at once.
Moreover, since the seat shape itself is genuine, it is good that there is no obvious retrofitting feeling like an external seat. The stitch is also silver and the answer is correct. It was a correct answer with bright stitches. It's not overly assertive, it's an accent and it's very good.
State after mounting the seat cover
When I actually ride it, it is very comfortable to sit on. It ’s just a cover,It feels like the sheet is thicker, and the body does not sink more than necessary.
In addition, Alcantara holds the body moderately, so there is little loss of posture and it is easy to maintain the correct position. I had my wife ride it, but "It looks like a new car! Comfortable to sit on!He said, "I'm sorry.
Sewing is also very good. I'm glad I made silver stitching.
There is also a pocket on the seat back
Of course, the seat shape itself does not change, so it is not as effective as changing the seat, but stillWhen you actually drive on a mountain road with this, it is very easy to drive.You can see how the body was moving with the leather skin of the standard seat.
Generally, if you replace the seat with a bucket seat or other seat that is difficult for you to move, the time on the circuit will be greatly reduced, but this time it has the same effect.
The steering is not forced to move so that the body does not move, and the steering can be operated smoothly. that's why,Stable cornering and accurate steering operationis. And above allYou won't get tired even if you drive for a long time.
Also, unlike a typical seat cover, it does not shift in the middle. This is probably because it is a special design, and in addition to being made quite precisely, there are plenty of strings and velcro to fix it firmly.
It was really good that this cover alone improved driving comfort.I think the cost performance is quite good.
It is recommended for 964 owners who are dissatisfied with the seat comfort, who have already been damaged, and who do not want to deteriorate the seat any more.
