New Seat

[PYE21]

Fitted this last week, but just finally got the position sorted today. Seating is a lot lower and much more comfortable, car drives completley different. It feels as though there is loads more traction, but its just the fact that im not sliding around anymore!!!!!!!

The car

 

[leighk18]

nice do you plan on jsut keeping the one our is that temp i kinda like the idea of just one for driver to be honest

 

[PYE21]

I will just keep the one, i still have 3 other useable seats then.

 

[Gweebs]

How have you attached the harness?

 

[GarethM]

very nice fella

 

[ben_p]

can you please post a pic of how you mounted the side mounts to the car ?

looks sweet btw

 

[Fletcher]

How much was the seat/runners etc?

 

[makavelli]

looking good cant wait to see this motor at some point

 

[PYE21]

I have used a X-Low Cobra subframe that mounts through the 4 original seat holes and then you bolt the sidemounts to this subframe. It isn on runners etc, all bolted solid. X Low subframe is £75 from Cobra and they are sided and a b*****d to fit (need modifying).

Passenger side harness is mounted to the subframe (comes with harness mounts), drivers side is mounted to original lower seatbelt mount, rear has eyebolts bolted through the floor in new mounts in the back.

I think it looks wrong with a different drives seat, i'd get a pssenger one too tbh.
Seat looks nice though.

cheers

Awesome! I'm loking at seats at the minute, stuck between one of these and Corbeau Sprint's. Corbeau's are winning as there slighlty cheaper, lol.
Can you post pics of the subframe/sidemount set-up fella?

looks good..is that harness road legal ????

Not strictly, but its 100times better than the s**t 2'' harness that you get. I wasn't prepared to shell out an extra £90 to get a proper 3'' 4 point ECE approved one, it can be changed at MOT time for a cheap 4 pointer if it even gets noticed.

Will get some pics up of the subframe etc when i get chance, not much to see really, just a subframe bolted flat across the floor, with cobra sidemounts bolted to it and the seat bolted between them.

 

[mini-valver]

I know but what needs modifying as they fit so badly and how much did the subframe set-up cost you in total?

 

[PYE21]

Seat and side mounts i got off a friend (only used twice in his old trackcar) so they were really cheap. Side mounts are usually £50ish the im not sure about the seat.

 

[mini-valver]

No problem fella, expensive doo TBH!

 

[ollie]

seats lookin good! Love this car

 

[jamesp24]

Very nice ,dunno about just the one though.

 

[charliezinn]

get another one 4 passenger it would look better too

 

[PYE21]

No

 

[Adamski]

when are you trading it in for a VX then?

 

[rustybolt]

i love the harness, needs another seat up front to balance it out, at the mo it looks odd.

I understand keeping the car useable but youve taken the plunge in fitting a bucket in the first place, you might as well do the job properly.

Will be stunning then bud, lovely motor..

 

[RichMcc]

I like that!

 

[jon_r]

Understand why, but does look odd with just one. You may have an issue come MOT time as Steve has just had to buy two new harnesses to get his through. lol.

 

[Christopher]

awesome

one of my favourite 182's

If i have to buy a road legal one its only £40 or so and i have 12 months before i have to even think about that!!!

 

[tommyboy]

looks awesome mate

but imo if your gona have one, get rid of the passenger seat, and move the drivers seat centrally, along with re-designing the dash steering rack etc.. not too much work Mclaren F1 styleee

 

[Renault_Boy01]

lol...i'd love to see that

 

[Impey]

[DuncCup]

Thats the reason why only one.

 

[Christopher]

aye, and like you said...it still leaves 3 fully-useable seats

from experience, family & friends are not a fan of buckets and harnesses! lol

my ex used to say it felt like she was on a rollercoaster. lol. silly bint
