ok ppl i have a dilemna

i need to buy a pair of seats for my r34

i had bride ergo 2 in black leather and i loved them, however i have sold them now to get fixed backs and they need to be FIA approved for drag and circuit work.

i have a set of sparco evo's at home which are nice but id prefer to keep them for another project im starting soon.

thanks guys

Depends on whether you are a big guy or not, the Sparco will fit a larger frame where as the Zeta III is pretty damn tight. I'm a fairly slim guy and even I found the Zeta III to be borderline to tight. Best bet would be to try and have a sit in both and see for yourself what you think.

Lol 30-32 depending on the jeans.

This is when it was fitted in my car for a while because my mates car was off the road so he let me borrow it. Don't get me wrong it transforms the way you drive, you are so snug in it you feel every little thing the car does. It's just bloody tight and made for a small frame.

Get the BRIDEs cos its a street car. My mate has an OMP seat similar to the SPARCO in his drift car, and before it was derego'd it was a flamin mongrel to drive on the road cos you couldnt see a damn thing out the side. Its perfect now its a dedicated race car, but for the road its crap.

if you are a bigger guy.... look at a velo GP90, or if you wanna splash the the cash, a podium :) then come in L, XL and XXL

the zeta 3 even inthe large size is a small ass seat!

i dont really care about the adr approval as long as it is fia approved is all that matters to me.

those velo seats look terrible .... they wont do for my car.

joeyjoejoe...im not that big in the waist size 33ish but i have huge shoulders so i dont mind if the bottom of the seat is tight as long as the shoulder section flares out a fair bit

my ergo 2's were the perfect seat i actually regret selling them but they r not fia approved :bunny:

the podium actually looks really good in person... and they are comfy as fuck.... i'm just trying not to spend the extra $400 as that's the money for the rails lol

if youn are a 33" waist you wont have any troubles with the brides.... i can fit in them (not comfortably) and i wear a 38"

if you wanna go to access auto's in vermont they have around 6 types of brides on display :D

I had the standard size Zeta III and I've got a 33.5-34" waist. It was snug, but I daily drove it for a while just fine. I couldn't wear bulky clothes, so if you are a wannabe rapper and wear pants that are too big for you, you won't fit. But if you wear normal clothes, you should be fine with the L size Zeta.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
