I get all this (1)Base Adapter (2) Side Mount (3) Seat Track Set (4) Base. And the pictures below are what I receive. From what I can see there is no way in hell this stuff bolts up. Maybe the people who installed this before can help me out. I am fully aware that drilling may be involved....but how the hell do you install this ****! OH by the way this is going in an 1988 Honda Civic STD Hatch. I know I know....but i know some of you guys have experience with them

everything sparco sucks but the actual seats. good luck, it might be easier to have a cage builder fabricate something for you

 

figured it out. the problem now is that the wedge engineering base mounts don't sit level....or better yet they just don't sit flush at all. i knew that drilling new points for mounting the base was something I had to face...that's not a problem...now the base doesn't fit flush after i figured out how the seat mount "puzzle" actually works. Sparco actually subcontracts out to Wedge Engineering so when you purchase spraco base mounts you may get the wedge engineering base mounts. OH and i found their number (562) 633-1663. they don't have a damn website...sucky

Just for reference. If anybody ever comes across this problem...well with a civic base or an ITR base this shows the mount without the sliders since the base doesn't allow for it. I will delete once this post gets punted off the main ITR page

i use their sliders/rails for my sprints that do not use sidemounts and everything fits perfectly.

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of mounting a sidemount Sparco!!!!

I went through all of this about a month ago when I was mounting my Evo's. We only used the sidemounts, and went right through the tub because I needed to sit as low as possible. I'll take some pics to show you what we did to the sidemounts if you want me to.

Good Luck, it's not easy, but the seats are all worth it once you get them in.

sure no problem. i'd like to see how you mounted it. i just hear alot of different ways of mounting. custom fab, welding the side mounts right into the chassis...so on and so forth...i'm curious
