It's a bonkers and expensive project that makes little sense, but for those reasons I quite like it!

We seem to have a couple of projects on the forum with a similar philosophy.

The yoda-esque updates add some extra level of intrigue.

Keep it up!

Hi

Perfectly for the R8 the Recaro adaptor 86. 83. 16/26 if are one the Recaro Pole position or the Recaro Sportster would like to obstruct.
The Recaro adaptor 86. 84. 16/26 also fit in the R8, but it the position is not identical to 86. 83. 16.

86.83.16
