Hey_You Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 My '71 won't be done for...well...many years. Atleast a couple of em to just get it on the road. However, I was wondering if anyone has used the Sparco Speed 2 seats (looking at these seats as they are Sparco's, and they are actually affordable for a pair), and how they fit in the car. My intensions for the car is for lightweight fun (carbon and/or fiberglass panels and interior where I can) but it's always a bonus to have a comfortable seat. I did some searching and couldn't find a review of the seat anywhere. Also...has anyone used the F1Spec seats? I searched on here about them, but the posts are over a year old and nobody had said if they have tried them or not. Any affordable/comfortable seat recommendation is appreciated...however it has to have a thin fixedback/headrest as my cage is the seat size nazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I've had my eye on Memoryfab's s58 and s68 seats for awhile now. Once my current seats wear out, I'll probably go to those. The s58's are very very comfortable (I'd never have considered them until I sat in one). Worth checking out, I'd say: http://www.memoryfab.com/products/detail_accessories_2/ http://www.memoryfab.com/products/detail_accessories_1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X64v Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If anyone has any feedback on that Speed 2 seat in the original post, I'd like to hear about it as well. I've had an eye on that seat for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzsax Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I wouldn't be able to get in or out of the Z with those seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey_You Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Those MemoryFab seats look pretty nice...and $750 for a pair isn't bad at all. As for not being able to get in and out of a seat...not too big of an issue as I'm young, and have a very thin build. Had a set of these in my truck, I loved them.

LowCarbZ Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm looking to replace the Honda CRX seats that are in my car. I'll be watching this thread. I was looking at Corbeaus recently but I do like the Sparco's posted by the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORPCRIM Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I just got a Corbeau Clubman for my '71. I love it! Yes, it's hard to get in and out of sometimes but it's very comfortable and it holds very well. I purchased it from www.soloracer.com. $313 w/ the mounting bracket included plus FREE shipping! Use "csp161" as a coupon code and get the $5 off like I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You wouldn't happen to have pictures would you? They look like really nice seats. Wondering about fitment though. I sold my corbeau seats cause I didn't really like the fit. They were kinda big anyway. Went back to the stock seats for now until i figure out what im going to do.

Icehound Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Jay, how did the S2000 seat install go, what did you have to do to get them in there?

GodZilla Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Im fitting a set of s2000 seats at the moment, nice and narrow at the top, nice and comfy and they look really well in the car. +1 I currently have the red ones in my white Z. They do look really really good. We'll have to re-do it though. Kind of a ghetto job... espeically after my engine swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRCH Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Any fitment issues?? Thinkin of puttin in some myself, just wondering. The one thing I'd be careful with when installing seats in a Z is if you're very tall. I'm about 2m and the bulge just behind the seats prevented me from being able to adjust the seats back as far as the stock ones could go without a looot of work being done to the seats. Just my experience anyways, GL with the seats they look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icehound Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is good info - I'm 6'4" tall with long legs (My jeans are 36") and I fit in the car well with the original seats. I have the S2000 seats and know there will be some fabrication work on the tunnel but am concerned that it may not be worth it. If it's not then I should sell the Honda seats and then get the originals reconditioned (however much that will cost...) How much of a difference was there between the s2000 seats and the 240z originals when you adjust them back? The one thing I'd be careful with when installing seats in a Z is if you're very tall.

How much of a difference was there between the s2000 seats and the 240z originals when you adjust them back? With my seats it depended on how the back mounted to the base. If there is a gap below the back and they mount to the base via a diagonal angled plate then they could work fine and be able to slide back all the way. In the end i took apart my aftermarket seats (reclinables) and the stock seats and fitted the aftermarket backs to the stock bases and had it refurbished and trimmed to match. The results have been fantastic but the cost.. not so much . Even still it required a bit of mallet work behind the seats to get them in.
