I didnt have any idea where to put this and when i searched i came up with over 4000 matches so i figured it was time to ask.

 

 

I'm looking at options for seats to put in my z. Ive decided to go for a racing style seat to accomodate the 5 point harnesses i pln to install. The question i have is what are my options? I love sparco seats but they are a lil pricey, corbeau stuff is similar but with thte huge price difference in between sparco and corbeau im led to believe that the corbeau seats might not be all that hot.

 

id really like to stay under 500 for both seats(is this unreasonable??) shoot me some hints or any informationg you guys have. Also, does anybody have blue prints for cages? im looking to get a quote on a cage from a local builder but i have nothing to give him that will really give him an idea of what i want. I want something similar to a BRE cage. i would like to have as much protection as possible, if anyone has seen the cage in daruis' (http://www.darius240z.com) this is almost exactly what i am looking for. Also, what other precautions should i take? this car is going to be a jack of all trades. It will mostly be used for drifting but it will definately see alot of autocrossing and drag racing(or supplemental income as i like to call it). Any direction would really be appreciated.

 

thx

Roman

I strongly suggest that you only purchase racing seats that meet or exceed the 24g 8855-1999 FIA homologation standards. All seats meeting that standard have a certificate attached. Look for it.

 

For your budget, I would recommend: http://www.subesports.com/products/?cartID=20040818174345209.178.166.65&cat=Seating&brand=Cobra&prodID=665

 

Regarding a roll cage, if you builder is looking for a blueprint, good luck finding one. The dimensions and designs I've come up with or figured out are not available to a competitor and I'm sure that's true for almost any fabricator who spends time on this stuff.

 

Also, make sure your builder is experienced building roll cages for road racing use. Look for a copy (no more then two years old) of SCCA's Club Racing General Competition Rules & Specifications in his office or on a bookshelf. If you don't see one, ask him how he is going to build a legal cage to that almost universal rule set. BTW... the SCCA GCR pretty much specifies the basic design of the cage.
