Anyone know of a shop in south Florida that stocks racing seats? I'd like to actually sit in some before buying. I've sat in some seats at the track but it would be easier to decide if I could sit in a few different seats back to back.

 

I think OMP may have their distribution center here (but I'm not 100% sure). I heard that they have a store there. I looked for this place briefly though when I was in the market but never found it. Joel may have an idea though.

Other than that, just try a bunch at the track.

We still on for the 15th?

 

almost positive i'm in for the 15th. i found a place in pompano that has a recaro pole position for me to try but they aren't open during the weekend so it'll be tough for me to make it there. and then there is wine country motorsports in jupiter which is just a long drive. when i sat in your sparco, i seem to remember thinking the slot for the shoulder harnesses was a bit too low for me. but i might have to try your seat out again.

either way, i've got a kirk which is being shipped to me currently, and will order a 6-pt harness by saturday most likely. probably won't have it all set up for the 15th, but definitely all ready for january!

 

Awesome. Sit in my seats again just for reference. They have three different sizes of the evo and I have the smallest one. we can look at the sizing chart while you're sitting in it and see if anything looks like it might fit better.

Congrats on the Kirk. I got someone to buy mine...just have to wait until after the Winterfest event to pull it out. BTW...you doing Nasa at Homestead? Jan 5-6. My other Z and m3 buddies will be there.

When you look into the harnesses, think down the road to whether at some point you will want a Hans. If you do, opt for the 2inch shoulder/chest belts as opposed to a 3 inch. Neither is worse, but they started making the 2 inch to just be more compatible with the Hans. Just some more research for you!

Remind me to bring your wheels too. I'm used to them sitting in my living room now. (I'm about to make them a coffee table )

 

Go to Transformers Custom.
They have a bunch of racing seats at the show room...
Tell them Ricky sent you...

here you go... but they have more in the showroom...

 

awesome! i pass by this place everyday too. thanks Ricky!

*is it all bride or other brands as well?

 

Their Bride seats are from Canada. Not sure if they carry legit seats but their website connects you to their ebay store and they state that they are Bride Canada seats.

 

thanks for pointing that out. i wasn't aware of the difference before. Definitely don't want any rep seats to be used for a track car. safety is the last place to compromise.
