I live close and am down for test fitting in an FC :) We can see how this works with the stock S5 mouse seatbelt...
|
TTT thanx for al the people that came to our booth at HIN san francisco this past weekend ..
|
TTT for the new week
|
I would be interested in getting one if you could beat the Corbeau FX-1 price for seat and bracket. Which would be around $375 ish. The carbon is nice I'm just not into the whole carbon fiber deal because I would never see it unless I was looking in the hatch. \

so how much is this?
|
I m in SF too, where is the shop located? I dont mind having my car for test fit =)
p.s. You can call me stupid, but whats a sponsored seller? |

kevlar coming soon |
I have corbeau A4's in my FD and they barely fit. I even removed the sliders. According to F1Spec's site their seats are wider and taller than the A4's so if you have an FD I have a hard time with thinking they'll fit. Has anyone even tried to yet?
|
Haha the car featured in honda tuning with those seats is my buddy's car
|
These are very nice looking seats. I'd very interested in the type 3 in carbon. Hopefully it's not too expensive.
|
which type seat are you looking when you're refering to it won't fit. i know the type 3 will fit the fc
|
I looked at both sets of dimensions you have listed on your site. Almost all of which are larger than the A4. The A4 just barely fits the FD and I would say not all that well. So I really doubt they would fit the FD the FC is another story.

https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...0&postcount=28 I would still be interested to hear about them actually test fitting each seat in a RX-7's (all gens if possible). |
The shoulder height is identical to a Sparco EVO and the shoulder width is actually slightly smaller (.5 cm). I have seen a few FD's with EVO's in them, granted they barely fit, but I think the TypeIII will be a close fit.
I bought one black typeIII in FRP and have it sitting next to me. It is a nice seat, quality is on par or better than the Corbeau FX-1 pro's I have sat in before. I don't have a lot of seat time in Sparco's or Recaro's so I can't comment there. I will try and test fit the seat in the car this weekend if I have time. I am slammed with work and interviews recently, so we'll see. If it doesn't fit I have another use for it, so no biggie. I will not be using sliders, BTW. |
could I get a pm on pricing and shipment to Canada, thanks in advance.
|
I still don't think we've got a straight answer about FIA ratings?
|
I pm'd them about this and FIA rating is twice the cost of the regular seat.
|
I'm curious as to why, personally...
I don't see how they could possibly make the seats any different since they're apparently buying them from a single factory in Asia, and if the price increase was because of testing required, I simply can't beleive that every seat would have to be tested invididually. That would be like crash-testing every car that is sold. Safety items are typically only intended to be used once before being replaced (or at least inspected)... Or do just test seats until they get one that doesn't break, and sell it with an FIA sticker? If they seats were that dissimilar in quality, I'm not sure how much confidence you could have in it's safety, even for the ones that passed any testing. Unless it's just an insane markup based on the fact that people want FIA seats? You could get a Bride or a Recaro for that price. |

The front eccentric shaft/main pulley bolt backed out on the highway last night causing a huge mess and most likely destroying the thrust bearing and wahsers under the front cover. Maybe more damage to the internals depending on how much oil stayed in the engine for the short time it was running and spewing oil. So I am having it towed back to a friend's place in Richmond while I finish up this semester at VT. At least I can sit in my seat and pretend like I'm driving the FD. :ugh2: |
so is there an update about anything about this seat?
|
I decided to order one of the Type II seats on sale for 250shipped with sliders and side mounts today.
I'll give a complete review on them and if they fit in my FB when they arrive. Then we'll know what's what. EDIT: Hopefully if I like them enough, and write a comprehensive enough review I might be able to get a good deal so I can get a passenger seat. |
we have new in stock for the peoples who would like a better option for rails/sliders/brackets. we have the buddyclub super low downs that will fit all of our seats. and it only takes 15 mins to install.

http://f1spec.com/f1spectype2.html http://f1spec.com/200131.html theyre botht he same seats correct? fiberglass? |
they are both the same seat just different color. thats our type 2
|
Well, how much are the rails?
Do you have them for the FC? Also, how much is shipping on a single seat and rails? (assuming you leave out your free rails) (ah nm, I remember it's 75 bucks... but that doesn't really seem reasonable) I might be able to buy a seat in a few weeks. |
