there is a fixed back Sparco that is not FIA approved..

and to the guy asking about the expo: there was a big thread about this kind of stuff awhile ago.. if you ask george or trey nicely, they might be able to point you to it faster than I can.. I'll look for it in the morning..

should be fine for most HPDEs though, methinks..

@IVR it's reffered to "touring class." However I might be headed to CO in the next couple weeks for an "actual" track event.

I'm looking forward to actually seeing those in an R. I keep seeing people buy them but no installs yet. Hurry up and put em in

Edit: How much did the rails set you back?

I wear a 34...and i fit into them I have to take everything out of my pockets....but i fit. They feel great once you are in them....Ask Yack, Chad, or Doctor Cortez.........They liked my seat......especially for the price i got it for. I picked up one for 325 with the Buddy Club rail.

not yet

here is what I discovered.

Corbeau parts+sparco parts+buddyclub parts= no workie

..I tried using my corbeau mounts/sliders w/my sparco sidemounts to no avail. I even tried a little drilling, no dice.

I have more sparco bits on the way to replace the corbeau bits, so when those are here it should be a breeze...I hope

From what i've seen, dont the corbeau mount/sliders have a flat plane on them that you could drill through and bolt the sparco sidemount brackets to?

I'd like a set of them, they'd free up some headroom.

They sure do, but then the corbeau sliders aren't really flat like the sparco slider, they have a handle that has a twist to it and angles up.. Which doesn't allow for the BC to clear it w/out a bunch of washers.. Which in turn shortens the effective bolt you have left to spin the nut onto.

:whew:

My sparco bits are taking too long so I may have to fab something up on my own.
