Just wondering weight savings in case I were to get aftermarket seats. Thanks!

 

they are at least 20-25 lbs...never weighed them myself, but you can get aftermarket seats that weigh 9lbs and less !

 

They weight that much? I took out my passenger seat to install something and it was so damn light compared to a 1990 Integra RS seat.

 

Hmm...I suppose somebody had to have weighed them out of curiousity installing aftermarket seats. Bathroom scale, anybody?

If not, I'll just take the 20-25 lb. estimate.

Good weight savings if I were to put in $1500 MOMO Kevlar seats, 7lbs!

 

20 lbs minimum...I know the JDM recaros are like 30 lbs and the USDM seats are not as heavy as those...

 

are Sparco Torino light?


how about SPARCO Milano

 

they're not light
they are actually heavier

Torino = 37 lbs
Milano = 38 lbs

What about the Mugen S1? For as much as they cost they better be light!

What about the Recaro SP-G? (Pole Position) << those are nice.

what seats are light that you can adjust? like Sparco Torino, and
SPARCO Milano.

I was thinking more along the lines of a non-reclinable seat, like the Sparco Speed. Inexpensive, about 15 lbs, not your lightest seat, but functional. If I want to recline, I would just use any other car or my Dad's Maxima. **** it, I'm young and the ITR is rough enough for my back [I kinda like it] , seems odd that they would even bother to have a reclinable seat in such a race bred car.

Keyed, I'm not sure how big or tall j00 are but I would recommend the M00gen S1! These things are lighter than baby seats

yoshi - who s his S1

 

hook up w/ Darth Vader...he's got a set of Vision seats that are 9 lbs...

 

Yoshi, I can afford A Mugen S1 [no plural] as of now. I'm going on strike in front of the Mugen building, and I don't even work there, lol.

 

I've seen some Vision stuff before, any sites with info?

 

Looks like the "REV C" is the lightest among Sparcos, only 9.8 Lbs

I think Willard posted some pics of Garth's seats. They are quite nice, to say the least


Unfortunately, my 5'11", 180lb frame don't fit too well

And yes, Torinos are heavy. *Much* heavier than stock. But they feel so nice (with the right bracket, that is )

 

If you guys are looking for light adjustable seats, try a set out of an FD3S. The set I had had a fiberglas shell and were very damn light. Never weighed them though. comfy as hell too.

 

The set you had in your FD? Or the set that you have fabricated to an R? If its the latter, we need pics!

 

Stock seats are right around 29 LBS.

Aftermarket seats arent that much less...remember usually the rail weight isnt included in the seat weight.

 

My ITR drivers seat weighed in at 35 pds on the bathroom scale

The Mugen S1 seats weigh 12.8 pounds

 

my GSR seat weighed ~40 lbs on my bathroom scale
