Default WTB: Recaro bucket. Something a little larger than the SPG

This is going in my track car. I have an SPG for myself, but I'm a small guy. I need something that somewhat matches, but only in a larger size. I'm not sure of the next model or so up, but I'd like to keep it as a Recaro in black. Mods, delete if necessary. TIA guys.

I have a recaro pole position which is perfect for people around 6' and 200lbs. (Im 6'3" and 185 for reference).

Great seat, great condition. What is your price range?

And yes, pole position is what I'm looking for.

Ekasey, what size person would you say is comfortable with the SPG XL?

ya know dave i'm not sure, I would call recaro and ask they're super helpful over there.

I know this though i'm 5'10" with 215 lbs of weight evenly distributed and i fit in a regular spg it is a bit tight though.

I also fit in the hans

For reference I'm 5'9 and 150ish. So the SPG is great for me. Like a glove. I'm not looking for a really big seat, but a few friends of mine have showed interest in riding "shotty" and they are a little bit larger than I. Nothing huge. I would say the biggest one is maybe 6' and about 190 lbs.

I know it's going to have to be bigger than an SPG like I have. If I'm snug as hell in it, I'll have to try something bigger. Pole position I think is what I'm looking for.

Yes Jim, I know you want a ride. You should be able to squeeze into a pole position from what I've heard.

Dave - as a reference point, that MOMO you sat in was the biggest they made. I fit snuggly at 5'11 & 230. I think dad stretched the passenger side a bit when he rode just before you - hehehe (he's probably 300lbs)
