Race Seats - Budgetish Track Build

[Adz2332]

Hey all

Im building a r33 track car at the mo.

Im after some race seats to put in it and harness.

Without paying $1200 + for one seat what other options are out there?

I had an evo 7 and i actually didnt mind the seats very comfy and holds well just unsure how heavy they are.

Have a 33 GTR but dont think they hold well enough.

What other options are out there?

Will probs recover what ever i get anyway.

And "replicas" arent an option

ideas?

Sparco pro2000 are about 1k with rails, they are fixed back seats and hold well... Pay less and get less pretty much

[Adz2332]

True but are standard sports seats ie gtr or evo that much heavier then brides etc

[lach88]

get a cobra fixed back, very very light, sidemount rails

Velos.
Hands down one of the best seats for track application in the country.

I have them in my track car and my skyline.

I recently went down the race-seat saga and learnt a few lessons.

My advice is firstly sort out how you plan to mount it. How low do you need it to be? will you be using pre-fabbed rails designed for your car or universal? does it cater for side-mount or are you stuck with bottom mount? THEN you can start picking a seat. If your rails slide, will you have to prop the seat up to clear the handle? Is the seat too wide? will it hit the roof?

I had none of these problems ^^^^

Bought pro2000 seats purchased bride mo rails, got side mount brackets and bolted in, next is half cage with harness bar to use 4or5 point harnesses... Done

If you dont mind me asking what were they per seat

Interested to see what you go with here Adz2332 , when you say "replicas arent an option" is this purely from your own safety perspective or a particular events regulations for scrutineering ?

[Adz2332]

Bit of both mate.

To start off with scrutineering wont be to bad but as i get into different things i dont want to have to change stuff etc... And i dont want to leave my saftey to replicas

Sparco pro2000 are about $800-$1000 per seat and i picked an awesome condition used one for my passenger side for $400...
