OK I was looking through different threads with the search function to research bucket seats. I think that will be my next mod a little further down the road. I love the way the recaro SRD's feel, but they are heavy. I am about 5' 9" adn 130 lbs. Im skinny so I would like a seat that fits me snug. Do any of you have experience with mugen seats or the racing recaro seats. Are they worth it? I will be driving this car around town a lot too, but on the road track as well.

I fancy this one



and I like this one even better

are these hard to get? Are they expensive?

somebody please help me.

 

both those seats are quite expensive. try searching through yahoo.com for prices on recaro.

 

dont buy a seat without sitting in it first. you'll end up dropping $$$ on something that doesnt fit you well, but looks cool.

 

yes they are 'expensive'

plsu you really shoudl try to go to a trackschool and see if anyone there has any of the ones you are looking into and will let you try them out.
dont forget that if you get a bucket seat for a daily driver you will want a smaller steering wheel real quickly, its a pain squeezing in and out of the car a lot.

 

recaro spg are nice....if your size is less then 34 or "you'll squeeze your *****"

 

That's why I drive with my steering wheel all the way up, like a semi truck. Sliding the seat back also helps with getting in and out. It's not easy to look cool getting in and out of a race bucket. Very clumsy and awkward at first.

haha, Im a size 30 so I'll be ok

oh and Im gonna get a smaller steering wheel, prolly the momo pilota later on. I will probably get both the seats and the wheel at the same time. I want to get real sick of my seats and steering wheel on the track first, that way I can appreciate it more whe I do get it
