Default ** Post Pics Of Your Racing Seats ** Questions Also.!!

I've been looking at the Sparco Torino 2's and sat in them a couple times. i like them a lot but they a bit expensive. But i fiqure if i can have mint Si seats for 13 years with no tears or anything these seats will last a life time.

Anyways i'd like to see what they look like in a EF/CRX or Hatch. Actually any racing seat in a crx or hatch.

SO PLEASE POST YOUR AND OTHER PICS OF RACING SEATS IN HATCHS AND CRXS!!!

also if installation easy? Where did you order yor seats/rail from!!!!

thanks!!!!!!

I wouldn't consider the Torino 2 a "race seat." What type of racing are you planning to use this seat for? A non-fixed-back seat will not be legal for many types of racing. If you're planning to use these for autocross, be sure you check the weight. I know that the original Torinos were very heavy.

I agree, I would rather have the stockers over the porky Torinos.
Grab the Sparco EVO's now that is a good seat and the make different sizes for different people.

1. How much does a stock si seat weigh?
2. How much does a torino 2 weigh?
3. How much does a EVO weigh?

thanks! more pics! these seats will be used for daily driver/street racing/ Track/3 hour trips to Ocean City. Please help me in deciding the perfect seat for me.

Would i be pissed with non-adjustable/reclinable seats like the EVO?

I thought I would not like my non-reclineable..but its not that bad...

depends on how far you have to drive to the track..

I swapped the racing seat out for the stock one before an 8 hour trip..

my cobra seat



i replaced it with a tenzo since i was not racing anymore, then i replaced it with the stock seat. for long trips, fixed seats are super-uncomfortable, don't recomend, unless you buy extra cushion for your butt!!!!!!!!
