yeti Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi eveyone I'm having a clear out so i've put these seats on ebay, if you know anyone who might be interested let them know, the auction finishes tomorrow night. Bidding starts at £500, no reserve, these have to go http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200498618677 Cheers Andy Perfect for all you Carbon Fibre Nutters out there, 2 Black Leather Carbon Fibre Bucket Seats made by Border who supply quite a few of the jgtc teams with their race seats They are a direct replica of the Recaro SPG race seat, but Recaro never did theirs in carbon fibre! It has 5 holes for 5 or 6 point harnesses (the 5th hole is between the removable thigh and arse cushion) The lower back, bum and thigh bolsters are velcro'd on to allow easy cleaning. Also worth mentioning if your waist is above 36" you might not fit as these are very snug seats, they only weigh a few kilo's if that so a great way to reduce the z's hefty weight I bought them for my Corrado R32 4wd Project but thats when i was building a show car, the corrado's build has turned into a track car prep now and these seats are too nice for that! So apart from sitting in one of the seats to play on the playstation when they were in the house (sad maybe but fun ) they are barely used. So there you have it 2 almost unused leather buckets, the carbon on the base has a few small marks from fitting but you have to really look for them, and there is a small nick to the leather on the edge of the thigh bolster on one seat. the buddy club drivers side seat rail is included in the sale as was brand new before i trial fitted it They are v easy to fit, took less than an hour to do one and i was being v carefull, just undo the 4 bolts that retain your z seat, remove your battery terminals. Unplug the harnesses under the seats and it'll look like this then remove the buckle from your seat, fit to the new seat runner, lower the seat into position, connect the buckle sensor to the harness again and fit a 2.2 ohm resistor to the aribag connector. Bolt the rails to the floor, set the height of your seat and tighten up the bolts on the seat side brackets and your sorted If you want to see any more pics please just ask and i can email them to you cheers Andy[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeti Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I would take these if only my ass would fit into them! lol I need the XL spg seats! lol.. can provide a bullsh1t weight watchers calorie counter book if that helps Unfortuantely the seats wont be right for everyone but tbh if a bit shorter than me and of slim to average build the fit'd be great, the lad opposite me who races in his spare time has problems getting a seat narrow enough, so i'm sure these'l be perfect for someone!

goatboy Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 sorry to go But how come you couldn't fit in with these seats, Surely they couldn't of been higher than the standard leather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 sorry to go But how come you couldn't fit in with these seats, Surely they couldn't of been higher than the standard leather? thats what i though, but due to the buckle strap fixing bolt being slightly too long just after it goes through the welded nut and so clashes with the side of the carbon bucket which meant i couldnt get them to sit at the lowest point on the side mounts, only the middle. i think i'll probably have a go in the spring time when it gets a little warmer as no one wants them and see if i can either shorten the bolt or modify the side mounts slightly. tbh i was that fecked off when they didnt fit that i wanted to thow them in the bin so i didnt try anything else. I have a set of these at home si i think i'll do some tweaking and i should be able to fit them once i get the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYVEE Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Might be interested in these.. what do you reckon a passenger side rail is gonna cost me??.. and do you have resistors for airbag??.. im also thinking about getting heating elements put into the seat and back pad so i can still have them heated in the winter.. is the padding reasonably thick?.. i do have a very good trimmer in my area... really nice seats and right at the mo i can afford pole positions and these look a very good alternative..

Ian Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Resistors for airbags are only a couple of pence on ebay, I bought a pack of 50 for about £2, still not got around to fitting them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYVEE Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 thanks Ian... ooh seats or wheel? .. seats or wheels? ok gotta do some thinking.. anybody know what rails and how much for passenger side?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 the buddy club rail isnt cheap, but its a very nice bit of kit. I see alot of seats and raisl in my job (i design interior trim for cars) and i was impressed with just how compact it is. I got mine from a chap on here that had never used his so i dont know the new price, have a look around for buddy club super low seat rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYVEE Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 after a quick search i reckon im looking at about £150 for the rails... now the hard part.. speaking to my Mrs about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dene8 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 after a quick search i reckon im looking at about £150 for the rails... now the hard part.. speaking to my Mrs about it Just bend the truth and divide all actual costs by 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
