I am so pissed off right now I finaly got my sparco EVO seat and well now I have no way yo put it in my car . After calling Sparco they tell me that they dont make anything to mount it and i have to fabricate it WTF!!!!!! So they tell me to call titan motorsports and they tell me to buy the civic base plate that they use on the Torino and weld a side mount to it so I can adapt the seat arrrrrrrg. I wanted sliders welll cant do it. Now I have wasted $440 on the seat to just have to fab something to make it work . I am so ******* mad I should have just baught a MUGEN or a SPOON

If anybody has done this set up or knows how to put in my car i would love to know as i am about to climb a clock tower and regulate some frustration

its only like 60-100 bucks or so to get it custom fabed. chill out. if you would have read their website it would have told you that. you didnt' buy tenzo. you got a quality product. i will take it from you for a trade with a bolt in 95 civic ex seat.

Rob :190:

you can definately get that seat mounted on sliders. you're in SoCal, i'm sure there are some shops that do race car work, not rice ****, that can fab up some rails for you. Find a place that does high end track cars, BMW, Porsche, etc, shouldnt be a big deal to get the rails made


ps- yeah its ghey that the seat manufacterer doesnt have bolt in sliders

underrated99si

Had a idea who in SOCAL has a MUGEN seat with the sliders? Would you like to meet up and see it those rails will mount to my seat as they are side mount as well.
If somebody would help me with this I would be so greatfull.

Damn!
I just sat in a Sparco Evo II and was wondering how much trouble it would be to put it in my R.

YOU know of any good places I could talk to or anybody for that matter

Warren

You know what, you wouldn't been in this situation if you researched properly.

Besides, Sparco competition seats only belong in RACE cars. Hence the term RACE seats.

bingo. that is what i was trying to say. at least you should have gone with the roadster if you wanted to slide it back in forth. i am going to hard mount mine if i ever get the money again for seats.

I couldn't have said it better.
Why the hell are you blaming Sparco because of your own mistake.
You got yourself into this one.

ESCALVANTE

I have a place for you. They do Porsches, Vettes, and Go-Karts and are very friendly.

It's called Werks II and they are located in Burbank right off the I-5 a couple blocks away from the Media Center (Burbank mall).
Call 411 and ask for "Works two" in Burbank.

Goodluck

underrated99si

Well I was told that it would fit and have seen it plenty of times so figured no prob. **** dont have to grill me to death **** havent you ever made a mistake? Well I will have it fabed and make it fit so to your comment that race seats belong in race cars only.

**** if I thaught I was going to get this mutch **** I would never have posted it I just wanted some help with putting the seat in the car not a bunch of (your bad for buying it). Most here put race parts in there car's and ask how to adjust etc and never get **** so how is putting a race seat in my car any different.

I have Sparco Ultras in my EG.
Mounted them to the OEM sliders/rails and you I sit at the same height as stock.
If your Sparcos are bottom mountable then you can do it also I bet.
I bought a 2" x1/4" x 80" long piece of aluminum bar/stock.
Cut it to lengths that would fit in between the oem seat rails yet sit on top of them and fit in between the outer edges that have tabs going vertical that the oem seats are mounted to.... around 16" long I think... let me check tonight and I will post up the dimensions.
Then I drilled a hole in each end to bolt this aluminum bar to the seats and another set of holes to bolt the aluminum bar to the rails.
4 holes total in each bar.
2 bars per seat.
I used an existing bolt sticking up thru the seatrail and only had to drill 3 holes in the rails (1 in one rail, 2 in the other rail).
Whole install took me a half hour with a dremel tool and a drill, but I had the aluminum bars cut to the proper length at my work on a bandsaw.


I'll post up the dimensions soon.... dont hate on sparco, there are ways to mount them, plus any good machine shop can fab a set of brackets easily and for not much loot.

Warren

Well, I hope you have rollover protection, oh, or is that something else that you didn't bother to think of?

i got m00gin sliders laying around.

if the evo's are side mounts, then j00 can test fit.

yshi - who dun think it'll bolt up to m00gin sliders, but .....*shrugs*

norice

I don't understand this. Sparco make a whole range of mounting brackets. I have a set at home for a 1990-1993 Integra. They also make 1994+ Integra brackets and, according to their web site, 1992+ Civic brackets.

Is there something special about the Si that it requires different mounting hardware?

ummm call mid atlantic trading and talk to rick
he has the side mounts and the wedge engineering rails and bracket
thats where i got mine and i also have an EVO

D

man, you are a serious ***.

shamoo

Yep, I was just about to refer him to you. I remembered you had Evo's and the mount looked fine from them.
