Anyone hooked up a MOMO Start or BuddyClub seat with the Corbeau brackets?

The Momo Start and Buddy club are two different kinds of seats (bottom-mount steel tube frame, and side-mount composite).

If you're talking about the base brackets, that would depend on what kind of sliders (if any) that you're using...

if you're talking about a bracket/slider/mount combination then it would only fit either one of the types of seats.

Ive heard nothing but bad things about the momo start. a buddy might have two for sale if your interested. He told me this week he was changing them out for something else in his miata. Either way I wouldnt reccomend a tube frame seat in a racecar (crap, or a streetcar for that matter).

Cool Thx for the warning. I have the CR-1's in my other 7. Thinking about just going with them for my track 7. I am afraid I may put on some weight one day and the BuddyClub will be to small.

badassrex

I am assuming the buddy club was the side mount. Is that correct? Thx man

Can we get some real feedback on the Momo Starts? I was actually considering this seat but I'd like to hear some concrete opinions other than "my buddy is changing his out".

I just picked up a pair of momo cup seats. They are not terribly expensive, FIA and fit nicely in the fd, although they are side mount and I am mounting them directly to the floor.

Is there any seat besides the Corbeau A4 and CR-1's that fit in a rx-7 and that have brackets available so it is a direct bolt in? If so can we start a list that list the seat and bracket used.

Corbeau CR-1's with the Corbeau bracket.
Fit nicely. Bit of a rub from the wing but nothing that cannot be lived with. Its very minor.

I've heard the Momo Start widely reccomended in the Miata world, but it's apparently a very narrow seat. It is FIA rated, so it should be reasonably safe.

Valkyrie

But it's not going to give you any extra headroom, if that's what you're looking for...

Of course, a fiberglass seat doesn't really guarantee, either.

I'm not looking for a seat to necessarily give more head room (although a little more couldn't hurt). I'm looking for a seat to have a proper mounted anti-sub strap (adding with FIA approval would be a bonus).

However, unless the seat is mounted higher in a 3rd Gen, I can't see how it wouldn't give a little more room given the thinness of the base:

Guys, I have contacted www.safedrives.com about the Momo start seats. If you do a google search for "Momo start," you will find that safedrives.com has the best, if not close to the best price. Currently, they are a sponsor on the honda-tech forums.

I have spoken to Spencer and he has agreed to give us free shipping and a package deal for seats + rails (and harnesses). He is also considering further discounts should more than 5 pairs of seats be ordered. Before I PM an admin about setting up a groupbuy, I would like to gather some interest. I will mirror a thread in the Group Buy Interest section as well.

Details of the seats can be found here:

To my knowledge, Momo doesn't have seat rails for the FD. What seat rails are they planning on including?

magnus.rx7

Well n.houstonrx7 said he used Sparco and it works great:

which rx7 model in particular?

I can safely vouch for the combo of Bride Zeta III and FC. It fits fantastically, nothing hits anything. Works well with the bride fg rail.

I wouldnt reccomend buying these just because they are Momo and have that pimp quality for the price. Just dont understand why anyone would want a frame seat in a sportscar....wind up with the frames jabbing you in the ribs through the padding, and they are monstorous in size.

magnus.rx7

If you look at the dimensions, the seats aren't monstrous in size. In fact, they are pretty small. Small enough to fit a Miata too.

RxBen/Bnjmn is local to me... he has a momo start in his widebody ls1 fc and the seat is really nice, FIA certified and stiff as hell. I've had recaro srd, sparco ultra and sat in a dozen other seats at various trackdays and have to say that the momo start is a wonderful seat for the price and since most people ask, YES it can be mounted really really low. I like the momo start and would buy one if I had to buy another driver seat for street/trackday/autox.

magnus.rx7

Also, it's not a tube frame seat. It's a fiberglass shell.

/\/\/\/\ thats what I thought, I was 99.99% sure the momo start was a fiberglass seat and NOT a tube frame seat

Ok, but what exactly is being propose in the GB? Obviously Momo rails aren't going to work so what pieces are they putting together for the GB?

magnus.rx7

I believe Sparco rails will work. In any case, I think I'll just avoid all the hassle of setting up a GB. I'll buy the seats myself, make them fit, report back and THEN if you guys want, you can start your own GB.

Valkyrie

ah... I must have been thinking of the Momo Cup seat (which IIRC is tube-framed).

turbogarrett

The cup is also fiberglass.

designfreak

ok sorry guys, I guess I was thinking of the wrong model then. My friends seat is the Momo tube frame. Please disregard my previous rants about this

Just for inputs sake, I have a MOMO Nascar CF/Kevlar, and a Corbeau Fiberglass in my car, and the difference in quality is night and day. The Momo fits like a glove, and the quality is great.
