I was tempted to put them in the blob but then I got the spec c interior. They are rather a tight fit so hopefully you dont live up to your name

I butchered the mounts from an old set of seats to fit to the side mounts. I believe you can buy mounts for them now that werent that easy to get back then ( tight jock excuse )

They do look good although my fav seats are the ra-r recaros. They are also an extortionate amount of money, but if money didnt matter I would get a set.

I put in Sparco evo's.
Nice seat, but a tight fit in the space.
After messing about with the mounts I gave up trying to retain all the adjustment that the originals had.
Easiest was to buy the Sparco side mounts and the universal seat rails then cut off the bottom part of the factory runners so you are left with the factory bottom rails that have the factory mounts. Then bolt the universal runners to them.

Seems to work fine.

Why not just put normal Sparco seats in ? I have the Sparco pro 2000's in mine and they are an excellent seat
