Just thought I'd throw up a pic... I was going to make my mounting stuff with a buddy who builds custom sport trucks, but he's become super tied up putting a 302 V8 into his bagged Ranger...

Thus, I decided to do it "right" and get the goods. The "goods" consisted of Speedware motorsports black annodized aluminum side mounts, Sparco universal sliders, and Sparco C5 mounting brackets. The brackets haven't come in yet, but I started test fitting all the other stuff.

I've had to run to the hardware store to get a bunch of new nuts/bolts b/c I needed more clearance as I'm mounting the seat as low as possible (I'm 6'4")

I can't wait to get this all done

'Been waiting for this.....thats gonna look really good in your car.

^ I know... I finally broke down and bought the stuff instead of making it... I'll post up pics when I get the seats fully in.

Hopefully the shoulder bolsters don't fade as badly as they have on my Sparco Evo. It has a distinct color difference from where the sun hits, and where it's blocked by the harness...I throw the harness over the top of the seat when I'm not in it.

I am not familiar with the sparco roadster model. How is it's size compared to the Evo and the Evo 2? To me the Evo was a little tight and the Evo 2 was too wide. I was looking for a happy medium. I really like the recaro Pole Position but I was told it will not fit in our cars for some reason.

Thanks

Sweet seats man! Keep us updated with pics. :yeadog:

Any updates on your seat install? Pics, please. I have a 6pt rollbar in my car and wonder how it will fit with the doorbars. Can you take pics with the seat installed, shooting down along the door panel from the top, like this pic - http://www.ls6.net/mods/wolfe/20050315//DSC03641.JPG - but with the door closed?

Thanks!

I can do that... they're in... ran them at VIR this past weekend. I've just been busy/lazy. I'll snap some this evening.

How do you like these on the street and at the track? I'm planning on ordering a set within the next month or so.

Thanks.

Being 6'4" 235 with a 36" waist they're a hair tight on the street in my hips. After 3:30min to VIR I was "OK" not hurting, but anything more like 5 hours and I'd probably be wanting my stock seat. On track they're great and hold you in a million times better than stock.

Here's the pics as requested...

Haven't cleaned up from VIR yet... car is filthy.

And the angle requested...

Thanks.

What do you think of the seat covers? Quality? Look? Feel?

 

[Cobra4B]

Look amazing and great with the black interior... they seem to be great quality and are made of jacard (sp?) so it's a really thick grippy fabric. They feel very nice to me.

They look cool. :thumb:

 

[WayneE]

Thanks for the pics. I'll have to take a trip down to OG Racing and sit in the seats to see how I fit.

 

[Cobra4B]

^ That's where I got mine from... went up there to sit in them before taking delivery.

I put the Evo 2 in my 01. I'm 6'5" 250 and with my helmet on I have to take the pads out of the seat(talk about feeling the road!) to keep it out of the headliner. I had a chance to drive on Spring Moutain with the stock seats, there is no comparison for track use. I forgot how hard it is to concentrate when you are sliding around in the seat. For the street they are a pain to get in and out of and with the pads in my eyes are about level with the top of the mirror but waaaay more comfortable than with them out.

 

[Cobra4B]

^ What size waist are you... do your Evo 2 pinch your hips at all, or do you sit down in it well. Mine's just a hair tight. I'm 6'4" 235 w/ a 36" waist... just have a big frame.

Cobra, I have a 38 inch waist(I feel kind of weird talking about my measurements!) the seat fits just right but no late night Wendy's runs!
