Okay ,

Just for a laugh.

What are your thoughts on just swapping out the drivers only seat for a fixed back carbon bucket and leaving the passenger one stock?

Personally i think it looks cool as i dont care for passengers that much but what do you lot think?

Cheers

 

drivers seat and no passenger seat looks odd seats looks sh*t imo matching race/buckets looks lighter too but then so will yor wallet be

 

if you are gonna use it as a track only car, 2 buckets

if you are still using it on a day to day basis 1 bucket

 

well its not an all out track car but mainly used on track. I still have passengers from time to time.
Passengers of all different sizes so seems nuts to spend a load of $$$ on a flash seat just so it matches mine

 

I picked up 2x ex Prodrive s-light Carbon seats for mine, the most comfortable bucket seat I have sat in. not sure on your frame, but they suit mine down to the ground. cost 220 + 230 from ebay. ok the dates are out if you want to compete, but at a 1k saving per seat, I dont care


A pic of a non carbon one

 

Nice mate... nice

 

Driver only bucket seat... and a nice Spec D leather job for your good lady to watch DVD's from ! and for Shorty to rest his buns whilst mapping

 

This is what i had in mind

 

Your best bet is to sit in them before you buy. there is a Prodrive one like that too-with the wings

do you want the wings so you can't see the mrs?

 

Damn, ive been rumbled already

 

If you're going to do it do it properly a pair, no need for half measures

 

Frayz, you'll have to let me know when your next on track, i'd love to come along and join you!

 

your co driver needs a good seat too though!!!

 

One looks bad unless of course the pax seat is totally removed

 

Well you are it remove the passenger airbag to save even more weight!!

 

iirc are there not safety implications of fitting a fixed back seat into a non-caged car?

 

Gotta be a pair Frayz......c'mon m8.....you've already spent god knows how much on the car, what's another few hundred quid to get a pair?

Dave

 

A pair you Faggott

 

Okay. I'll buy one this month and maybe one next month.


































Maybe i'll just forget to buy next months one

 

you could get a full on racing one for yourself and a bucket styled/car seat like the classic sti 5/6 seats for the passenger.

 

Well i was gonna have the RECARO for me and the stock V7 one for the dorris

 

Guess what arrives tuesday!!



RECARO Pro Racer SPA



I cant wait to get my car back now

 

frayz, taking your location literally..... Wont deep seats with large helmet restraints like that be an absolute b*stard to get in and out of?

 

Most probably...

 

Did you get a motability discount ?

Fantastic seats mate

 

SEAT mate,

Couldnt afford the 2, just one for now. Maybe have a pole position or SPA for the passenger

 

The best part of £2,000 seems excessive, especially when you consider that this is a road car...

 

I think that Id have gone for a pair of black with blue leather Pole Positions for less than half the price. Safer too.

 

Didnt say i paid £2,000 though did i fella

 

It is the weekend, so your wearing a frock is sort-of alright..... Are you wearing your lass's pants too?
