Lets do a little math... Got a new seat :)
What do you get as a result of the following equation?
This:
minus this:
plus this:
plus this:
well you get this
Short Story:
Bought this carbon fiber MemoryFab seat about a month ago from a guy that was short on cash for w/e so i got it for like 30% of retail price.
Couldnt find a seat bracket for the supra anywhere, at least in stock. After calling a reputable supra shop in Chicago i got the answer of "uhm...supra owners dont put racing seats in their cars"....click, as in he hung up on me
went to Touge Factory and ordered one. Had to wait for 3 weeks for it to come in. After getting the seat bracket it fit like garbage. I got it for a VERY good price but nevertheless i didnt expect to modify/fabricate things.
Ended up busting out the air tools and the grinder to make it fit.
The seat is very comfortable and VERYYYYY snug. I'm 5'10" 180lb and 32 waist and its a snug comfortable fit. If you are an bigger then dont expect to fit in it. In the winter i think ill have to take off my jacket before getting into the car or put the Sparco back in.
After a shot rain drift session the seat comfort and the way it holds you in is phenomenal. Best money i have invested into my car yet...and i have just about every bolt-on suspension part there is.
Now im tired and going to sleep
and this is my current "work space"
1. flat black s13 hatch...drove zero miles in 4.5 years
2. white s13 hatch...*****d out and abused daily
3. white s13 convertible...the street cruiser

nice upgrade pavel. Not sure about you but i actually weighed my stock seats and they were 37lbs so im not sure whats up with that.
I had a hell of a time getting a seat rail that would work i ended up going with the memory fab. does your rail dual lock?

how does your memory fab seat rail fit in the car. im kinda disaapointed in this bussy club bracket. i know its supposedly made by buddyclub for their seat but it didnt even fit the chassis side right.
i think ill have to get the welder out and weld up my own bracket based on this buddy club one.
sparco is super comfortable for daily use. it a reclining seat too. it doesnt really have leg bolsters so you can sit with legs spread open and chill. the torso support on it is great though. its what makes that seat still good for drifting. nothing compared to a bucket but light years ahead of stock.

when i got rid of the stock seat in favor of the sparco i weighed it. it was in the mid 60lb range. i had all power, heated, and leater. the passanger seat is a bit lighter but still a beast to tackle.
