What aftermarket seats have you fitted? now with pics

[EGG80X]

Eggbox, my reading of the Sparco dimension chart indicates I would need an Evo 3 seat, but this would be unlikely to fit a 5.

yeh its sux aye?

I have to lose weigh to fit in my seat now lol

but the sprint is a nice fit on the mx5 works well..... will post some photos soon

Bigdog,

I run the Sparco Pro 2000 in my Race car and have also fitted it to my road SP when helmet required.

The Pro 2000 fits my big arse current weight 108Kg.

The trick to mounting these types of seats with the wings is to offset the rear of the seat about one inch to wards the inside of the car. You don't notice it when sitting in the car infact it makes your legs point straight at the pedals.

In the Road SP I use RPM mounts and mount them straight onto the MX5 sliding rails. I have a second set of old NA rails I use for this purpose.

You are most welcome to have a fitting in my car.

Cheers

Brian

Thanks Brian. As I'm not rushing into this upgrade I'll take you up on the offer - might take the time to come and watch you race and have a test-sit at the same time (you may not get me out of it though ). When is your next Sydney round?

Don't forget to make all the appropriate "BRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMM" noises too while you're in the racecar!

Bigdog, I believe my velo is the middle sized one - medium lard arse size if you will!

[bigdog]

I might try yours on for size at the next race meeting too Chris - if you don't mind that is.

cheers,

John.

Next Sydney Round is on 17-18 June at Oran Park.

Alternatively if you are ever in the Sutherland Shire, CT and I live about 3 km apart.

I might see if I can organise to buzz down to the Shire and have a sit - will check with you both re timing before I come down. Guess I'll need to get my passport and visa sorted out first...

My wife grew up in Heathcote on the National Park side of the railway line.
Nice spot!

Oh yeah...... Priorities my good friend! Maybe, I'll put that one up the list a little....

[EGG80X]

finally got off my ass and took a photo

John, this is a sparco sprint in a NB.... tight fit with the should wing against the door trim

[Okibi]

Does it fit all the way back?

Us taller people need the seat to go as far back and as low as possible.
