seats?

im lookin to get some seats from osakajdmmotors and i was thinkin about gettin some seats. usually they rip em out of a evo or something like that. theres some pics of seats there.http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/jdm-en...d1bc9489ca90a1

would any of these seats be good for driftin? and you think its safe to order from them? i know its not a engine lol but i heard they had bad rep. is there any other places i can get seats like this from as well?

You really should sit in other people's seats to get an idea of what you want.

Legit is legit is legit.

Knockoff is sometimes just as good but people WILL argue that till they are blue in the face.

FIA and homogulated seats that are up to date will be needed if you plan to get serious. If you're just going to dick around and have fun that **** doesn't matter. Proceed to buy cool **** from that website. If you find jdm infini seats..... *drools at the thought of infini buckets*

You can get a Corbeau Forza for around 250. New, FIA approved, legit.

problem is most of the guys i know dont worry about seats. they spend there money elsewhere and most arent into drifting or have a drift setup at all. so its hard to check seats out lol. the seats on there are knockoff?

I'm gonna run either sparco or corbeau fx1 cause I'm a bigger dude and they make seats that fit me perfect plus the corbeau come in suede, they are not fia approved unless they come from the uk but for them to be approved by scca/NASA you jus need the back brace that connects to ur cage then the are legit

I guess i need to speak with the ppl who coordinate our events then because everyone is freaking out trying to sell their seats to fund fia status jawns.



So say you dont have a cage and just get a harness bar????? I mean, while we're on the topic of seats. I'm new to the game as well. Not as new but my car has never seen a track. It'll pass tech for solo/practice so that's good enough i guess?
