Inspired by 9Werks TV's Lee Sibley's fit of 997 seats to his 996 Gen 1'Little Irish'(see 9Werks TV on Youtube for the video), I took the plunge and installed some 991 seats which I found on EBay at a great price.

The 991 seats are manual non-heated, with the only power required to adjust the back-rest.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Inspired by 9Werks TV's Lee Sibley's fit of 997 seats to his 996 Gen 1'Little Irish'(see 9Werks TV on Youtube for the video), I took the plunge and installed some 991 seats which I found on EBay at a great price. The 991 seats are manual non-heated, with the only power required to adjust the back-rest. Hats off to Bahnsport in Blandford (an in particular to Scott who replaced them) for doing a great job. Its transformed my driving experience since my originals had covered 130K miles and were getting somewhat tired. The seating position is lower down but you feel so much more engaged with the car I find. What's not to like!

Forgot to mention, the car is a 1999 996.1 C4.
