Pics of my new corbeau forzas. The passenger seat is on the rails they sent me but the drivers seat needs to be fixed mounted as there isn't enough headroom for me.

I retrofitted the stock sliders to work with my pole positions and the fit perfect (well 99%, the right side of my seat touches the trans tunnel cover a little bit, but thats because i sit REALLY close to the front.. about the 3rd notch to all the way forward..... lol)

And i was going to post a pic of my seats but then i realized..... i dont even have one
Or you can run our door panels and they wont touch at all

A you can see, with our door panels they clear perfect with plentyyy of room to spare!

Always the option of the Bride Low max rails and Bride Vios III's This combo will work with the stock door panels, so you don't lose the side defrost vents, and mirror adjustment switch. As long as your waist size is smaller than 33 you'll fit comfortably.

^^Awesome track seats, now that my waist is down to a 33 I should fit much better. I have a vivid memory of riding shotgun with Yung D and hearing a 'crack' when I lowered into the bucket. Whether it was the seat bucket or my hip bone is anyone's guess

Check my build thread for more info, but just picked up my latest (and final I hope) seat setup for my BB '95 street FD from the boys at ESH.
Not exactly, um, aftermarket, but I can tell ya that Recaro fits the FD like a glove!
It's eye candy you're looking for eh?

Just don't wear seat belts and leave the windows down so you are safely ejected in case of a roll over.
Seriously, there are several production cars with fixed seats, some with no roof.
Off the top of my head-
Lotus Exige/Elise
Porsche 911 GT3
Mclaren P1
I see this more as a problem when you are tracking and there is a relatively high probability of roll-over from gravel traps. A helmet and roll bar would be a good idea on the track.

My Vios III Japan on Lowmax rails
And this is how short leg fat boys like me get in.
Takata (Schroth) DOT 4 point harnesses with a tear-away section so they function as 3 point seat belts. They also adjust loose/tight quickly and look cool.
The only good thing about short legs is when I get a roll bar it will be far from my head (note my driving position in pic 1), so I won't be so spooked to drive the streets with no helmet on.
