Hi all, just bought these used seats, that I am pretty sure are Sparco.

3 questions:

1: does anyone know if this is a real Sparco seat?
2: if it is a real Sparco, does anyone know what model?
3: if you know the model does anyone know if it was ever FIA certified? (which I know doesn't matter if I don't know date of manufacture or have the stickers etc)

These were recovered at some point, so the fabric is not a Sparco fabric, and the rear seat belt holes have had their plastic surrounds removed.

Also pretty confident the shells were repainted

 

Maybe an Evo/Evo 2

 

thank you, you appear to be right, it looks just like an Evo.

Anyone able to confirm if this is a legitimate Sparco Evo, something I could look for to be sure?

also, if you bought two seats in this condition with sparco mounts and sliders included what would you consider a bargain? I paid $150 for both seats and all the hardware etc.

I'm assuming I'll have to invest in either new covers or make my own, seems like I'll be ahead in the end for what a normal cost would have been.

 

follow up question, if these are Evos, has anyone seen Evos with bottom mounting, Sparco's page is clear that the Evo2 is only available with side mounts, but it is not specific about the other models of Evo.

Based on the fact that it is bottom mount and not side mount, I think these are most likely the "Fighter" model, anyone agree?

 

ok, so based on comparison of the Evo and Fighter models against the seat I have I say its the fighter

first seat is the fighter, all seats below it are the evo models

- bottom mounts on the fighter (same as mine) not side mounts like on the evo
- no split cushion for 5 point (same as mine)
- the fabric design is more consistent with the fighter (even though mine were recovered)
- back cushion design more consistent with fighter than evo




so ahh, problem solved I guess :D

unless anyone has some additional words as to the authenticity of my seats, I'd love to hear em
