F.S. Sparco Seat / Drivers base/STi mount

F.S. Sparco Seat / Drivers base/STi mount




As you can see it matches the STi colors very well.*

Yes its not 100% perfect. Its for mid to skinny people. Its still FIA certified.
I paid $750 for the seat and $250 for the base and mount. You can buy different color seat covers, different pads for it. I love the seat and has done wonders for my back. I'm just looking to upgrade to a lighter, stronger seat and one that ties into my roll cage.

Looking to get $500 for the seat and $175 for the mounts. You can also shoot me an offer. But no low balling. I might sell the steering wheel as well.

I am upgrading to 2 of these



Lot less weight and better for my needs.

Will the base/brackets work on a Sti seat? I have ver8 seats and need the up and down function on the drivers sides.

No they will not. These have side mounts from seat that bolt to the rails. The rails then bolt to the floor. The only way to tilt is to unbolt the seat and move it. up or down then rebolt it.

Then it has a handle to go forward and backwards.

That or the 45 ... I am shopping now. I still have a few things left. Now that I just finished up the gearbox, axles, driveshaft and 1.5 lsd's


I just don't like the term "Containment Seat" makes me feel like its a zip lock bag for a nasty crash!

Yea odd choice of naming for sure, I looked at some of those seats a while ago and they seem pretty heavy for how they look (67 series was 20lbs or something) especially when compared to the low end Recaro HAN's SPG or something which is the same weight.

Depends on the build. Some are less weight. And you can get custom made. Which is what I am going to do for the drivers side.

TIG welded .125" thick 5052 grade aluminum.
.080" thick 5052 grade aluminum is TIG welded
HANS compatible

I think the foam is what adds all the weight.

I gotta measure up everything and send it in. See what they say.
