CUPPER · Apr 13, 2005

Very nice

nev_172 · Apr 13, 2005

didnt realise how heavy the cup seats are, these are a hell of a lot lighter,

Jonaldinho · Apr 13, 2005

Very nice! How much did that set you back bud if you dont mind me asking?

JanO · Apr 13, 2005

Awesome!

Very tempted to go the same way with the williams...

FullThrottle182 · Apr 13, 2005

Looking very nice, How much lower is the driving pos?

If I hadnt the heated seats Id go for them as well.

nev_172 · Apr 13, 2005

pm yoz or fred for a price mate as they do different packages with/without custom subframes, cheapest prices you will find though

im sure he will reply to you with prices when he sees this post!!!

Iain C · Apr 13, 2005

dont look very comfortable tho

nev_172 · Apr 13, 2005

didnt buy the car for comfort mate, but they are cumfortable,

they sit alot lower then standard, not stupidly though, the standards do sit quite high.

Is it not a whole lot safer to connect the harnesses up to the seat belt buckles in the back rather than around the rear strut brace?

Lunner · Apr 13, 2005

Very nice!

Was gonna comment on the strut brace, i woudlnt trust that with my life, they are only flimsley ali, i woudl have use the rear seat belt mounting points

I was just going to comment on that. The rear strut brace isnt designed to take forces in that direction so isnt really the best thing to mount the harnesses to.

Looks great.

nev_172 · Apr 13, 2005

ye cheers guys, was gunna bolt em down but aint had time,

Rick · Apr 13, 2005

^^ I reckon its something worth doing as soon as possible!!!

Apart from that they look ace. Probably next on my shopping list once I get the suspension sorted.

Lunner · Apr 13, 2005

I really ought to look inot making soem custom mounts for my seats, still far too high

Djw Dave · Apr 13, 2005

Very very nice!

Dansta · Apr 13, 2005

Ive already told him mate, dont worry he IS changing that ASAP!!!

spirez · Apr 13, 2005

yep, agree that is a sh*t idea. If it came to the worst, that brace would snap like a twig and you would find yourself nicely strapped into your harnesses, but with the seats on top of you laid out all over the tarmac.

now there a nice comforting evening thought!

MarkCup · Apr 13, 2005

Not another Yoz conversion. This is getting harder and harder to resist.

Looks really nice

aaronc · Apr 13, 2005

I agree mark, does look good, the weight saving definatley appeals rather than the looks.

nev_172 · Apr 13, 2005

its gotta be done

nathVTS · Apr 14, 2005

Looks the absolute Don lad!

One thing though, they look quite far back?? Can you bring them forward OR DID YOU BOLT THE SUBFRAMES ON THE WRRROOOONGGG WAYYYYY?!?!

Glad theyre lower, me head nearly touches the roof on the usual seats!

Bit concerned about the weight loss though, were gonna bloody take off on Paddock hill bend in May!!! Best get on the bulk lad!

Using the original belt points may not be such a bad idea. lol at all the pros thinking itll snap a strut brace, that isnt gonna happen but I would be a bit concerned about shearing the strut tops off in a shunt.

Chris Green · Apr 14, 2005

I wouldnt use the original seat belt fixings for the rear.

I would add an extra hole in the floor, and use a plate with a captive nut, you can get them from Demon Tweeks for a few quid.

Ideally, the angle of the rear fixing should be as close to parallel to the ground as possible (This is in the MSA Blue book).

Because you dont have rear seats, I would take advantage of this, and move the fixing back quite far.

The rear fixings for the seat belts are ok, but they arent quite inline with the centre of the seats.

Just my thoughts.

y0z2a · Apr 14, 2005

erm, we talked about the harnesses - he has just got them in temporarily; from the Strut Brace.

I have a welded in Harness Bar with coincidentally acts as a brace which is a much better option.

Prices - Depend on What you are after, but Nevs Set up (Cobra Imola 2) is about £575 including Sidemounts and Subframes (and the dreaded VAT etc.)

If you want extra things like a wider seat, it can only be done on a slider on the low subframes. I wouldnt recommend putting the seats on a standard subframe, as the seat will be too high - hence the custom "low" job.

There is no warranty on the subframes or their fitment, as they are designed for track use, and they will stress the car in different areas. You could pay (as hippy did) for someone to fit them on custom subframes, but this will cost a pretty penny on the labour normally.

Price for this setup: about £575 +/- depending on logos etc.

CHRIS172CUP · Apr 14, 2005
