source for cheap racing seats?

[chmercer]

I am looking for a bucket racing seat for somwhere around 150$ tops. ive seen many new seats for 200$ but retail price sucks, anyone know where to find used? i dont care if its name brand, only thing i will not buy is APC lol.

[lessthanjakejohn]

perhaps you can source some from junkyard sports cars?

ie: porsche, RX-7, Supra, MR2, 280z...

I don't know exact costs, but Tenzo R makes some pretty cheap seats. maybe not cheap enough for what your asking tho. Ebay is always a good source for cheap used stuff. also search the ads at places like http://www.thepartstrader.com. mostly honda stuff on these places, but for seats, you can just get the bracket you need the seats are usually pretty universal.

tenzo r = reclinable junk :P

tenzo r = reclinable junk :P

well you only said no APC. I'd say they are a slight step above APC. But if you want the good seats, your gonna have to spend some money. BTW, I just thought of this, I don't know what exaclty you want the seats for, look or function, but the s13 seats look pretty close to the reclineable racing seats sold out there, maybe you could just pay to recover one. just an idea.

corbeau

[Bud]

where are you located? I'm looking for the same thing and there's a guy in northern NJ with a red corbeau for $195 here I can't do red....blue/gray sparco torino, that's another matter

[stutt944]

i've spent a bit of time in a corbeau. nice seats. i really do think they're up to par with MOST OF the momo/sparco types. they're just straight up cheaper.

although the best i've sat in hands down is the Sparco Milano. i could live in that seat.

[tex240]

i just sat in a black suede sparco milano and DAMN i want one. i think corbeau is the best cheap seat and probably what i will end up with if i cant geta sparco

[Jookmasta]

sparco milano in the rare beige is what i feel is needed. but thats if you have a sandstone beige s13 like me

[stutt944]

ewww more sub-par...

kirky aluminum racing seats. cheaper lighter faster!

[Megaseth]

just get a set of lawn chairs. they're light weight and cheap.

[TurboKA37]

agreed

[stickgoat]

I've always thought milk crates and a roll of duct tape would make for some great seats.

[InstantRice]

a lady that knows the importance of duct tape, nothing finer.

[Demonic240]

and remember .... get the Official Duck Brand Duct Tape ... and if you want a real nice milk crate, go with a brand name ....

[Megaseth]

Werd. anything less and you'll regret it. only the best Duct take and milk crates and lawn chairs.

[InstantRice]

i mean lawn chairs are nice for passengers but for the driver, only the pure comfort of midwestern milk crates will do.

[JohnI3laze]

Seats? Seats are for p******.

[Megaseth]

there we go, just get some thick junk carpet and tape it down. and use PVC pipe for a rollcage.

[stutt944]

i just ripped out my factory seats and put the seat off my old mountain bike in there. lots more comfortable. lateral support is a bit weak... i think that's where the duct tape will come in. and i'm just gonna weld some of those metal handicapped-toilet-stall grab bars onto the door. problem solved.
