thrash racing seats

[swift240sx]

Where can i find a dealer in the US? Or can I only get them Japan? Hope someone has these seats and can shed some light. Thanks!

Oh also... has anyone had any panda garage seats? If so, were they comfortable?

I have a recaro srd and want to either switch it to passenger and get a full race seat for drift events, but I daily the car so comfort is def an issue. AHHHH too many thoughts and choices!!!

You WON'T find a US dealer.You are stuck with finding them second hand from Japan (or the few that are stateside).

I used to have one. I got it from Yahoo Japan. It now lives in Northern California with my friend Yusef.

I somewhat recently tried to get THRASH parts, but was informed that the business burned down. Not sure how true that is, but I 100% couldn't get the stuff that I wanted.

Which seat do you want?

Ive been looking t the Circuit Spec B1 seat. I just like the seats and the different cover variations they offer. How did you like the seat? I usually dont like buying seats before I sit in them (seeing that this is a very important part of the car and comfort). Please let me know how you liked them. Thanks!

PS. Their site is still up, so they must still be in business... right? Hope so!

I had the real basic one. I used it as a passenger seat. No complaints. It's a fairly generic seat that they sell over in japan with "company X" on the headrest. I wouldn't be surprised if there are shops out here selling the same seats. Check with Panda Garage actually, I think they do.

Of course, it's badass to have THRASH RACING on there....

Like I said, I tried to get some stuff from them recently, but I was told that they burned down. i don't know.

yeah pretty much. I just wanted something different that didnt say sparco, bride, recaro... but oh well. I really only wanted them because they said thrash racing and no one really has them haha. Ill call panda garage to see where they get their shells from. probably the same place.

those seats are uber hard to find in the states and not to many people know about them.back in the glory days of the d1gp most of the d1 drivers used to rock thrash seats,like fukuda,drift samurai, youchi imamura's brother Takahiro Imamura and haruyama,but now few to none use thrash seats.

i came across a one thrash circuit BI seat last year that came out of the yellow riverside s13 and was autograph by mr. atsushi kuroi himself,he said he got in 2006 at the d1 allstars in irwindale.the guy wanted $1200 for the seat he also had a rare set of thrash carbon pillars in which he wanted $600 for them.

bh-the company is still up and running you just don;t hear about them at all stateside.

[BrianHarte]

wow, CRAZY prices for that stuff.

My THRASH seat was like $150.

Fukuda used to rock those yellow ones too.I think him and samurai had them done up with "team yellow".

Man, I wonder what the hell happened then with the stuff I tried to get from them recently.

[nightsleek240coupe]

holly crap!! i remember that!!! it was them two and i think tezuka to when he had the JZX81 Chaser.if i'm not mistaken fukuda still has one in the bn s13.the samurai went to a bride seat, im not liking him to much since he did the whole team blue (toyo) thing.

the seat was tempting to buy,but no moneys.the pillars were cool also they whould have been nice on your car bh.

[BrianHarte]

thanks.

Uh oh, better not get too off topic....

[swift240sx]
