I found a really good price for the Sparco Speed, can someone give me there opinions from sitting in the seat. Any pictures would be helpfull.
 
I have a Sparco Speed in my Datsun 510. The seat itself is actaully comfortable but not much in long trips because its not adjustable. Another thing is that the seat itself is made for someone small not sure if you can get them in different sizes. I'm only 5'4 and weigh about 130lb so im a small guy and I fit perfect in in it. But someone that is kind of big wont fit to well.

If the car is your daily driver then I really dont recommend the seat because it does get uncomftable after a while because you pretty much sitting straight up. Which is good if you racing but when just driving around its not . But if its like you weekend car or something and wanted a set of racing seats there are great seats for the price.

If you would like ill post up some pics of the seat in the car. Oh and by the way what is the price of the seat and where at? Anyways because I only have one and I would like to get another for the 510.
 
This is my daily driving car, and i do sit straight up all the time anyway so I think i might go with the speed. I am about the same hieght as you and weigh about the same, and you were saying that this seat really holds you in around corners? Im pretty happy i think im gonna go with it. Heres the link, this is the best price ive found for $245 shipped!!

Well when I mean straight up I mean straight up. Not that I go driving around with the seat all the way back but just imagine sitting in a school chair. Its just nice sometimes for you or your pansengers if they want to recline the seat alittle and it also makes it hard to get in and out. I know it sounds like I dont like the seat at all but that isnt the case just showing you the cons about it. But for the Pros the seat will hold you like no other.
 
:thumb: I have one in my 91 TSI and i like it. I am 5'8 and 165 lbs. It can get unconfy at long sits, But i have a small pillow in the car , it helps. It holds great in corners

I love the fixed Sparco seats, my buddy has one, and it's a very nice feel. But I am 6'2" and 200lbs, so when I am in the chair my ass don't fit. I sit ontop of the bars for a few seconds, then I like pop into it like a piece of lego :D Then getting out, HAHAH! If your 130lbs and 5'4" I would forsure go for it, They feel so nice. Plus I like to sit straight up. I am trying to find a bit wider ones. I wish I wasn't such a big guy. Stupid bone mass :mad:
 
I just got the rails and i am going to install them how hard is the installation. any input would be great!!
 
I torched off the sliders from an old laser seat, then i lossley bolted them on, and welded brackets. I think it is way better than the universals most sell
