Like the topic says...

Im going to hopefully be picking up a Spaco Sprint seat this weekend off a friend. Wondering if anyone has any pics of this seat or similar in a EG. Just trying to get an ideaR. TIA.

 

Just an FYI, you are aware of the difference between the Speed and the Sprint, right? The Speed is more of a street-style seat. It is equipped for a 4 point harness system. The Spring is more of a competition seat. It is much deeper and is equipped for a 5 point system.

Totally different seats.

I'll post a pic in one second after I upload it.

EDIT: Here's the pic. Now obviously the 2nd blue seat isn't a Sparco (it's a Corbeau Forza), but it is very similar to the Sprint that Sparco has. Note how deep you sit. It's rather uncomfortable if you intend to use it as a street/everyday driver seat. The bottom material is very thin and will tear easily...as you can see by the rip.

The seat on the left is the Sparco Speed. It is actually very comfortable and you don't sink into the seat. It also holds you quite well.



Sorry I don't have a pic of the seat in an EG.

 

very informative post nonetheless

also the sprint is fia homologated
the speed is not

 

Yeah I do know the difference, good info though. I didnt know all that.

I was just wondering if people had pics of them inside the car since they are 1 piece and nonreclineable.

Im getting the Sparco Speed.

Yes, by the looks of it, it does sit kinda high. But when you actually sit in it, you are seated substantially lower than a stock seat.

The seat material is quite comfortable as well. Sparco uses the same material and filler in all their seats, even their high end Torino/Milano models.

 

Nice, thats cool. How are they for long drives? Like 1 - 2 hours?

 

sell me your gsr's after you get those shawn

One to two hour drives are fine. Longer than 2 hours and your *** might start to feel a little sore. The fact that it's non-reclinable isn't that bad, in fact the position of the seat keeps you at a perfect position. The fact that you fit in it very cozy might be the problem.

When I had that seat in my Integra, I was about 130lbs and 5'11", so I was by no means large at all....and I was VERY cozy in it.

If you are a large individual, Sparco does have a version of the seat that is slightly wider.

 

Im not that big, 6'1 200. Ive sat in the seat and it was fine.

Im gonna keep my GSR's, just in case

 

if you get the sparco dont get the sparco bracket..even though im using it...

i really had to pound the **** out of the bracket to make it fit...also your going to have to be creative when putting the stock seat belt buckel on....if you need help hit me up...

 

Awesome will do. The seat that im buying has a custom DC2 rail on it so it will bolt into my EG.
