Super/Ti Seats???

[Jeff Trask]

I have stock seat, but I want to do something a bit more racy. Here's what I have come up with so far. The first is about $650 and it's called the "Nurburgring". The second is the "GTA" from Corbeau (I love the name) and it's $199. The last is the "Classic" from Cobra and it costs about $250. Mounting them all will require some work because the current seats mount at different levels from side to side because of the transmission tunnel. Any thoughts?

I haven't mounted one of these in Super yet, but one thing I do on these when putting them in GTV's taking out a lot of the unneccesary padding on the seat bottom.

Jeff,

I'm considering the same sort of upgrade to my "new" Super, but I've been looking at the Sparco lineup of non-race seats. These two will provide more side support and the backs are adjustable. They are both avaliable in multiple colors. The first one, the Torino-2, is $599, and the second, the Siena, is $525. And unless we can reuse the original issue sliders, Sparco has those as well, but I forgot to check the price.

I was going for a more period look. I think the top seat looks the best but it's a bit rich. Kinda seems like you get what you pay for. I'd sure like to see a set mounted in a car and how it was done.

Jeff,

One of the cars I did the seat modification to is coming to our shop this weekend. I'll take pics and post them here. The customer likes it a lot better because he sits lower in the seat and gets more side support.

[Jeff Trask]

That would be great! I look forward to what you can show me.

Jeff, if you got the 1st pic from Stefan of GTS, those are most likely my seats. Now go to " almost ready for all italian day " few threads down and you will see the same seats installed.

HTH !

hey Jeff, check out the seats in the orange car... just being a smart A$$, sorry. lol. i love the first one, but at less than half the price, the third seat is just as nice. either way, can't wait to see them in your car.

Actually talked to the owner and the guy that provided those seats today. Not quite as bad as it could be $ wise. That sure is a tempting look! Fun stuff this making it what you want it to be. I'm glad the mechanical and paint side are as good as it gets on my car. Makes the investment in interior worthwhile. We'll see, but I'm leaning towards an interior like the Orange car...

Jeff,

I found a more correct looking seat then the one's I posted earlier. It's an aluminum seat and it has a provision for a fifth belt, and it's available in several sizes. I found it at IO Port Racing Supplies, here's the link for the description/details, and a picture:
