Ok so I did first remove the passenger seat and tried to place both traqmate and chasecam under there but the floor is not very flat so I bough a small piece of plexiglass at homedepot and installed both boxes on top of it, taking my time and doing most of the connection.

I ran the wire at the bottom of the windshield, totally hidden, and then into the side air dam.

For cables, I used the negative that plug to the chassis right there under the seat, for the positive I lined up a cable under the center console up to the rear of the radio.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have been working on installing a traqmate and chasecam combo that I purchased used on the forum. It is a bit of an older system but simple to use and does the work.
I wanted to have a stealth install to avoid putting it in and out. Not that I go to the track each weekend but I just like things to be neat
Ok so I did first remove the passenger seat and tried to place both traqmate and chasecam under there but the floor is not very flat so I bough a small piece of plexiglass at homedepot and installed both boxes on top of it, taking my time and doing most of the connection. The plexiglass system secured on the floor with some velcro.
For cables, I used the negative that plug to the chassis right there under the seat, for the positive I lined up a cable under the center console up to the rear of the radio. You can find in there an loose plug, made for the telephone oem install. So I taped in the
switched wire in there
.
The other wire going out is for the antenna. I placed the antenna where the oem gps antenna for PCM is. I don't have the PCM so I had an empty spot instead. It is on top of the dash, right by the blinking alarm led. I ran the wire at the bottom of the windshield, totally hidden, and then into the side air dam. A bit of the cable stick out from the windshield to the air dam but I think I'll live
I could have run the cable straight down but I would have had to remove the radio and AC controls ... may be later.
Nice tutorial to do this on renntech here
.
Voila that's it. My OCD made this simple 5 minute install a 3 day project but I had fun with it. As you can see in the last picture, the chasecam LCD screen and control can be accessed through the seat bottom hole. Normally it is used to pass the bottom seat belts for harness, but I don't plan on installing a harness on the passenger seat. Also I can insert/remove the compact flash from the chasecam by sliding the seat all the way back and put my hand under it. it is tight but not too bad.
Last piece I have not done yet
1/ running a cable to the OBD plug, pin #9, to tap into the RPM sensor so that RPM and gear change are tracked on the traqmate.
2/ installing the traqmate reading unit somewhere a little nicer. for now it is velcro to the passenger seat, I'll read my time on the straights... not super safe, we'll see if I chicken out doing that
The seats are just ridiculous !
They are a pain to get in and out of the car, but the 30 seconds waste of time is 1000x worth it when you are driving.
This is the besssst mod ever. You feel the car so much more, even in the city it triple the driving fun. I could not believe it myself. I was expecting the tighter but to bring something but I am most impressed by the nice shoulder wrapping, just the right amount... you guessed... I love them
I can't wait to install my pss9 and see how much better it can get... if that is ever possible
I have been getting in this type of seat daily for over 3 years and seriously still dont care for it, but once in ...no substitute! My old GT3 euro's were awesome but they tended to get a little soft in the seat on hot days. (they were MAX Speed CF knock offs, not factory) The new ones are Sparco Evo and they are fabric (not my first choice) but I love them still....
so since you have the mod bug, gonna tempt you with another one..... smaller steering wheel - its unreal and makes the car feel like a go-kart plus with the wide GT3 euro uppers you will find your shoulders pushed towards your chest...a smaller wheel makes excellent compliment to this.....
you wont think its a big deal when you look at them, but try one....its simply indescribable and a one way change, you'll never go back to the big one
HOT RIDE MAN... I am jealous!
what diameter dimension for the steering wheel ? I was lurking over the
new rennline quick mount steering
...not cheap... but cool
I am just afraid to mess up with the airbag removal, but may be the durametric will allow me to disable the airbag warning..
I am using 350mm
I have seen a few 996's with MOMO's and other wheels, so there has to be a way - you can find nice Momo for under $300

Phil, Yes Homestead. Im driving next weekend with FARA and ERME. The last Hooked on driving I registered for was cancelled due to not enough participants so I stopped driving with them. ERME has a 2 for 1 deal next Saturday. Entrants split the $250 fee. FARA is giving 2 hrs track time from 8-1 on Sunday in between their practice and sprint race. registration is through track weekend and is open to intermediates and advanced only. 30 cars only. Let me know if your interested in either or shoot me a PM and Ill give you more details.
Phil,
Great looking install. I wish I were that creative and handy. Now, take it from someone who's been there. Stop the mods, and buy a track car, trailer, and tow vehicle. You're doomed.
yeah I think I am but I am trying to put a few DE miles on this one to see if I am serious enough, I have bought far too many things and got bored of them too fast so this time I will go steady and see.
I am piching myself not to buy a track prepped gt3 ... only thing that save me is that I don't have any space to park the trailer and truck and this alone would cost me $200 or more per month so I think I'll be driving to the track for a bit.
I have been driving with hooked on driving with good success so far. I was thinking to attend their PBIR event the 15st but may be I can try something new
i'll send you a pm ...
Wanted to post an update on my first traqmate + chasecam day.
Pro:
- Good software to check the data, easy to use, still need to be a little pc savy.
- the display unit is very easy to use while in the car, just a few menus, easy to understand
- sync with chasecam work flawlessly, everything is transparent, simply have to worry pressing start on the display unit.
- bunch of graphs
Cons:
- I had to manually start the system at the track, even though I had added the homestead GPS start and finish line position and it should have auto started
- Video output format is not very compressed and not de-interlaced. so I have to reprocess it with another software to have crisp and decent file size
- a whole lot bunch of graphs
I am processing a video right now and in the meantime here is a screenshot of the software interface.
Better have a big screen or it is hard to read it all at the same time.

I am running sumitomo hrtz III, good grip and good hold, but they are wearing fast.
I don't think they can last more than two days at the track. I need to get myself some Nitto or Toyo but I need to buy wider rims, as they only make those is super wide sizes.
