Bad news, the seat rubs on both sides (Seat belt buckle and the top part of the seat rubs the door panel) when pushed back only 2 more inches...

 

Thats bad news for us tall people. Thanks for taking the time to check the fitments

 

I was thinking the same thing. I can get sparcos brand new for that much.

 

More bad news...The upper part of the cloth that attaches to the plastic piece at the hole for the harness, ripped out? I will take pictures of it tomorrow. I barely sit in this seat...probably put around 1,000 miles on the seat and I don't track the car so I'm kinda disappointed that the cloth would just come out like that?

 

I'm 6'3" so I was looking at what wan asked about...just how far back did you lean the seat? These and the Sparco Torinos have about the same specs around the shoulder bolster area and the Torinos fit, so I'm wondering how these don't. Just curious.

 

I wanted to bring this back from the dead a little - any word on the seat material wear issue - i.e. the pictures of the cloth rip near the plastic? Also, can I talk you into taking a measurement? If your game, I'll post what I'm looking for specifically. Basically, the seat in the furthest back locked position,(seat rail), then from the lowest point on the seat cushion straight up to the roof. If you have a sunroof, then up to the roof portion just behind the sunroof.
I know this seat won't fit w/panels installed in the last click of the seat rails - but it is something I can compare to measurements I made with the stock seat.

I talked to him in PM already Bob, he sold the seat.

 

I just received mine. I didn't buy direct from F1-Spec and mine didn't come with the Bride rails as I requested in my offer they accepted. It arrived damaged. The packing consisted of a bubble wrap bag and foam strips on the lower side. There was plenty of room to move around so fragile stickers didn't make a difference. It was damaged when I received. I contacted seller, F1-Spec and Fed-X claims but only fed-x replied so far. The **** on one side was completely shattered and the plastic panel behind it. The other side is missing the center hole cover. The Bride rails are $250 shipped from japan, so he actually got a good price on the seat. F-Spec only shows Buddy Club rails on their site and i'm not sure if they will be low enough. I should have at least got those rails bu they only gave me sliders. I think i'll just have fed-x return it and fight for a refund.

 

This doesnt surprise me. My friend works at FedEx and he says that all of the people working there are douche bags. He says these people kick boxes into trucks, step on them, throw them around pretty much do all of this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_tN94ePhsd4

UPS is the same way. I saw the UPS drivers picking up boxes from the UPS store when I went to drop off a package. These guys were tossing boxes into their trucks like they were footballs.

Good thing I always over-package everything I sent out. You have to ship it like if it were going into a nuclear holocaust!

 

so . . . does that silly f1spec logo peel off?
