thanks

Ya, I'm in need of new seats also. I was cleaning out the car yesterday, and found a pile of foam from the drivers seat under it! They are starting to go quickly. I was thinking of grabbing some out of an FD, cause I here they swap in pretty close, but I don't think I'll find any for cheap that are in good condition. Maybe I'll just have to spring for some Sparco's....hmmmm Sparco seats

my dad has those in his 86 , back when i was a kid.. damn i hated siting in them.

i have fd seats in mine now.. definatly nice, but i am thinking about replacing them with either corbeau's or sparco's.

everyones most likely gonna hate me for this but in the morning I'm dropping a set of Hon-duh leather 'Lude seats in the morning then it'll be like a day before I can get pics but I'll get some if anyone wnats to see

I'd like seats out of a 2nd gen Infini (rare, but supportive)

I'd like to know how those fit. Honda makes GREAT seats.

Yeah- Lets see the seats once you get them in...
riffraff, if they are black or grey, first dibbs...

I'm currently looking at fitting competition seats in my FB, thinking of adapting the standard subframe for the codrivers seat but mounting my seat on fixed rails so I can get it nice and low

Looking at Corbeau Sprints or clubmans at the moment (£75 each)

sorry subgraphic. they are the tan leather ones. still look good in a black interior though. when ever i get ahold of a digital camera, i will take some pics of them.

Well I got my new hon-duh seats in today, took me about 2 hours but I dont like the way the pass. one sits so I gotta get a welder and make all new brackets for it, other then that, they fit right in, at the same height as the stock seats. The pass leans a lil because the inner front floor is humped for the exhaust underneath. Im hoping to get pics in by tues, or weds, so everyone can see.

MikeLMR

Just ordered my new seats, I've not decided exactly how to mount them yet (figured it would be easeir with the seats to look at)



got to get some harnesses and a smaller diameter steering wheel and my tall person freindly 1st gen should be sorted

purple82

Those are true buckets! I'm trying to picture anyone but Gumby sitting in those things!

im thinking of sparcos or corbeau's personally or just getting the stock ones redone & have a lil more support dont to them on the sides.

Manntis

for just a few bucks Corbeau will cover your seats in OEM upholstery so your interior matches

I decided to go with the honda seats because they look sweet and leather, plus they have more support on the drivers seat its got the full lumbar, then the wings on the sides that you can move in on you to hold you or open up for a relaxed fit. Im aiming at having pics tomorrow, downfall to not having my own digital camera.

looking forward to seeing them- you said "they fit right in" except the pass side problem with the floor board hump, do you mean the drivers side was a direct bolt in? What year lude seats are you using?

If you take out the drivers seat, on the front theres a cross bar that it bolts to, the lude seat bolted right in to that cross bar, but on the back I had to make 2 new holes for the bolts but it sat right in perfect, right height and all even as apose to the pass side which for right now is uneven due to the hump in the inner front. Im gonna make a bracket to raise the other 3 points in the pass seat so it'll even out but the pass will ride about 1/2'' higher than the driver. After I finish my fiberglass on the console then it wont be as noticeable.


BTW- the seats are out of a 92 or 93 lude I do believe

MikeLMR

DOH! that 'exhaust bump' is on the drivers side in my car , that'll make fitting the seats more "interesting"

phooka

I just recevied my corbeau's today - hopefully will get them in tonight or tomorrow and i'll take some pix.

MikeLMR

looking forward to seeing the photos of you've done it ... I've not even looked at my car yet to see how I can even start to fit them

SilverRocket

Corbeau Forza here. It's a very tight fit to the door panel, just to warn people lol. Watch out when you're buying seats, measure to make sure they'll fit.

Here are a few shots of my Sparco seats

Sorry for the bad angles.. it should give you an idea. They are tight but, they fit.

Cheers,
