:bump:

 

[Peperami]

You want cobra imola's mate. Best price vs comfort fixed buckets there are.

 

[Jamesstone]

Why selling some mate? any pics? going to have a look at some seats sunday, pep you got any pics of your old cup in its glory days mate? think i've seen an old pics that was yours on white cup racer speedlines

 

[d4ve86]

Imolas are great,

How much you wanna spend on seats?

 

[Inferno]

Recaro SPG's. Price - bloody expensive. Comfortable - just.

 

[Jamesstone]

Do look pretty sweet d4ve, have read through your project thread, nice work

Inferno, they are smart as mate, bet they cost a few quid with the sub frames?

Not sure on budget yet....

 

[bomber]

i got the same seats, if ur a fat s**t then get the wider ones. if ur not, get the normal ones.

not that bad on long drives either. 3hours to bedford, 4hours racing around bedford, 3 hours home and only a bit of discomfort.

ive had 3 types of bucket seat before, spend decent money on them and dont get cheap shitty ones.

 

[Jamesstone]

Over 6ft tall & under 12st, so would say average, if there is such a thing these days lol

Hmmmm.. what to choose.. so many choices on the net, do about 45min drive to work & about the same home so need some thing that will be half decent, got coilys too so that aint gonna help lol

As soon as my 172 isn't a daily driver i'm going to invest in a pair of the Recaro SPG's, they look great!

 

[Jamesstone]

As soon as my 172 isn't a daily driver

Sod that, i'm going hardcore, this car will be for work & pleasure :evil: .... expect to see my next post - chiropractic's needed in surrey... :rasp:

 

[Inferno]

The SPG's are nice, but they are a very slim seat with minimal padding - they do offer a wider option though for more £££. I'm well pleased with mine, but you do pay a heavy premium for the name. For the best price I found check out www.sportseats4u.co.uk

 

[Jamesstone]

They aint cheap are they

 

[d4ve86]

inferno did mark fish fit those for you?

 

[dhampton]

Sparco Evo's (standard size). Retail ~£280 each

Comfortable and very supportive too. I frequently spend 5+ hours in them and get out with no aches at all.

 

[Inferno]

inferno did mark fish fit those for you?

Did indeed! And if you're going to comment on the harness mounting position - it's in hand!

[Jamesstone]

Thanks for all the pics guys gotta do some serious thinking on what to get as there are sooo many out there

 

[riz]

Cobra Daytonas if you want a good mix between bucket + normal seat, pics around somewhere.

 

[Jay Payne]

If they are for the track car then id agree with the Imola's.

sat in Bombers and its very nice. iirc markcup has one as well

 

[Jamesstone]

Still need to use the car for work :dapprove: ... if that wasnt the case it would be what evers lightest

 

[n0rm]

[.Gem.]

Norms seat is WELL comfy tbqfh

 

[n0rm]

[Jamesstone]

Norms seat is WELL comfy tbqfh

True... but they weigh a fair bit & the support is shite but worse than that is the height :dead: .. being over 6ft has its flaws lol


not normal developments - i retract my light weight comment, they look painful just looking at them lol, how much do they weigh they then mate?

 

[The Boosh!]

they weigh 3kg and are extremely comfy

 

[d4ve86]

inferno did mark fish fit those for you?

No i wasnt, thats edde... i just saw 2 seats in boxes there the other week

 

[Jamesstone]

3kg

and are extremely comfy

maybe if you have no feeling in your back lol

 

[Hoppy]

imo recaros look the best, whichever model you go with.
maybe its just the brand factor, i dont know.
the recaro furious seats look good to me at £279.99 each?
they'd be right at the top of my list.
but i have heard imolas and sparcos are pretty darn good.

 

[The Boosh!]

3kg

and are extremely comfy

maybe if you have no feeling in your back lol

if u sat in it u would understand lol. they have pads round the back area and on the ass cheek area

 

[Jamesstone]

Oh right, form the pic looks like some sort of torture chair lol

 

[The Boosh!]

FLOL @ torture chair

 

[paul]

Cobra Daytonas if you want a good mix between bucket + normal seat, pics around somewhere.

[Timmay]

[Johnc172]

Pole Positions FTW

 

[Keano]

Daytonas. Re-trimmed.

 

[Jamesstone]

Johnc172, they look the top notch , how much were they for the pair with sub frames?

 

[TJB182]

Daytonas. Re-trimmed.

How much did that set you back? ive got some daytonas, but would like them more if they were re-trimmed.
