Bucket Seat Advice

[DaveK 0]

Since im fitting a roll cage ti the 205 in a couple of month i need to get buckets and harnesses. However ive been looking about and not sure which ones to get.

 

The thing thats bothering me is the size of them, im quite a small guy (10st8 on a very fat day) so im thinking that alot of seats probably wont hold me very well

 

What seats would u guys recommend for a thin, good looking chap

 

cheers

I agree. I've got an Imola2 fitted and it's snug to say the least!

yea looking like the imola would be best for me. hey, atleast other people wouldnt be able to drive ma car, the way it should be

[Guest rick03054]

I don't know about edinburgh but the halfords in Dunfermline has a few bucket seats round a table that you can try out.

so do people with Imolas reckon they will be too small for road use with occasional track?

You could always try me at evolutionuk@dsl.pipex.com as i offer a club discount on COBRA seats.

Im 10.5st on a fat day and find the Corbeau Sprint fits me perfectly.

[DaveK 0]

thanks d-9 think ive narrowed it down to either Imolas or Sprints

Would really recommend the Sprint, I find it exceptionally comfy (thou at 6ft3, 10st ish, im a rather odd shape), but the only way you can really decide is to try both.

i'm 5ft 8 1/2 and weigh 10.5 stone, got sparco sprints in mine, find they fit really well,only thing is i sit quite low.my mate who is 6.4 has never experienced my car cos he cant get his fat arse in them!

Another vote for Sparc Sprints,excellent seat for the money,

Im 5ft 8 and 13 stone *cough* muscle weigh's more than fat

They really hold you in,in all the right places,and even after a 5 hour drive to lands end,my back did not ache at all

Also got a mate(keith the spinner) who is 6ft.4 11st.and he really likes them too,prefers them to his recaros infact.

Yes they are quite low arent they,esapecailly when directly floor mounted

try before you buy i guess is the name of the game.i just went for the sprints at the time because they were cheap,compared to alot of others

i cant find anywhere that sells bucket seats near me for me to try them...surely there has got to be a place in edin that sells em?.....cmon guys

The Standard size Sparco Evo are very comfortable (tried em at the autosport show) and come highly recommended by people that have used them. I will be fitting some myself eventually.

I have the Sparco Rev and the Sparco Sprint and I must say that the Rev is very comfortable. Even more than the Sprint.

I had the corbeau sprints and again they were a fantastic fit. I only weigh 9 stone on a fat day (bones made of carbon fibre ) and they were a fantastic fit and could sit in them all day. My gf at the time didnt fit in them though so she had to go (she was a size 12-14 if that helps!!)

I believe the Imolas are Cobras version of the Corbeau sprints. The only gripe i had with the Sprints is that the fabric wasnt very hard-wearing.

Hope this helps!
