hey guys i'm looking for the lightest race bucket if you guys have any personal experience and pics would help too and thanks

 

Tuscan Milk Crate.... jk, Try a Kirkey aluminum seat, their pretty light http://www.jegs.com

 

probably some carbon fiber piece.

i know OMP has some pretty light ones..around 6lbs (i think, not 100%sure)

 

hey, what's the weight of the car now?

 

yeah the omp carbon kevlar is 5 lbs. and is comfortable as hell.. a little expensive though 2g's+.

 

my personal favorite is the Summit seat. The old one was ok but the new one is more comfortable than the stock honda seat.

 

Im not sure if that plastic summit seat or that carbon fiber seat is legal unless you build somekind of steel tube backbone for it like the rule book says....anyway,I like and going to get the Kirkey..

 

carbon kevlar omp... bar far the most comfortable seat i have ever sat/driven in... feels like im in a couch type comfortable... seat weighs 5 pounds... add an extra pound for the seat bracket

 

Im not sure on the brand seat I have but Its light as a feather( they look just like the kirkey)...hit up jasonp he'll give you a good deal on them. -pdang

 

i got a tenzo seat for $120, it is hella light, but it says tenzo-R on it..

 

kirkey great seat extremely inexpensive and workls great.

 

thanks guys for the help and smokey the car weighs 1900 w/o me in it ,but looking to make a bit lighter

 

hey man, the lighter the better. i'll be at moroso on november 1st, for the saturday midnight madness! hope to see you there

couldn't have said it better...

I got mine for like $150. (with the padding) and it is pretty dam light!!

 

do you guys have any idea what the kirkey weighs

 

I have actually tried the milk crate it was not fun, make sure you bolt it down, HAHAHAHA!

 

I tried sitting on a crx rim and tire in an 11.8 car, it wasnt fun either, but it was my NJ roots showing.

anyone knows how to mount one of these seats in a crx? custom brakets, or bolts through the floor?

 

I have a sparco carbon fiber seat (roadster model, but they discontinued the CF version years ago). almost brand new. The shell weighs only 6 pounds ... Great seat, just laying in my garage now since Im afraid to put it in the car and getting it jacked. So if anyone wants it, shoot me an offer... its black btw.

for mine I was going to pull the brackets off the botom of my old seat, and see what I can come up with, maybe some kind of carage bolt would work too... just going to do a little trial and error to see what works...

as far as weight goes... I belive it is 12lbs for the one I have wich is the 10* layback, they do make one that is like 6 or 7lbs, but it is a bit more pricey like $500. +
