Anyone have a definitive answer as to what seats they are? I know they are sparco's, and I don't think they are Milano's or Torino's..

 

Heh, the first thing that comes to mind is Sparco "Bumble Bees"

I don't recall seeing any Sparco's like that-- any idea of what the car is and whether they were a factory option?

 

Its in a 360 Modena, and they aren't factory, they were aftermarket. Its a pic from an article in European Car with the owner is the guy who owns Axis wheels..

 

Looks like a recovered Torino to me....

 

It looks different, the back isn't covered by cloth like the torino, and the bolsters look a little different..

 

Whatever it is...it's ugly.

 

Opinions are like ********, everyones got one

 

Yeps...that's pretty much true.

I'd like to get some Torinos..but from what I've read...you can't fit them in the car without getting rid of the adjustment *****.

Which doesn't make much sense to me.

 

It's *possible* they (the upholstry shop) deleted the cloth in back and went with a 'draw-string' style cinch system like (most of) Sparco's one-piece seats, assuming the basic construction is the same (composite shell, in this case two-piece instead of one).

If it's possible, I would have wished to gone this route instead of having my Roadsters recovered. One of the reasons I did not go with the Torino or Milano is that they are chunky looking, and I was looking for something more svelte. Those in you picture look nice and thinner.

Bolster could be different, as that it's just foam underneath - and them wanting to change the profile is not out of the question (for fit/whatever reasons).

The silver inserts for the harness belts tell me that it's a new(er) seat (past year or two) - unless of course they swapped them out or painted them.

If I remember correctly, SportCompactCar mag did an 'ultimate' car contest last year, and the Axis Ferrari won. Maybe they had a writeup of the mods (which I remember being very little).

 

Wow CJ...musta been promoted to top dog @ EA, huh? Anyhoo, IIRC, James Chen (??) the owner of Axis had Sparco custom upholster the seats for his 360. I'll dig through my old copies of SCC, i seem to recall they mentioned sumpin' about them in there.

BTW, wanna buy a project FD...red, GTC kit, penskes... ;P

 

wheres the shifter?

 

Some of the Modena's have F1-style paddle shifters.

 

Bride seats are so much sexier, if i ever got rid of my leather i would go for those, but i don't think im gonna get rid of the stock ones.

 

If they were reupholstered *thru* Sparco, the work was likely done at http://www.stitchcraftinteriors.com/ , who does Sparco's custom work - like thier WRX demo car they have at the moment. Ask for Revo.

Stitchcraft should be finishing my Roadsters this week, had them redone in charcoal grey alcantara/black leather combo. Ordered a bunch of alcantara material for the rest of my interior too (damn, the stuff is pricey). Will post pics when I get them back.

 

Flipping around Stitchcraft's gallery, I came across this:
