Default My Latest Purchase

Just bought this lot today, just couldn't resist those seats & seemed logical to have the cage, harnesses & bar aswell. Just need to find a spare day to fit it all now.

Very nice purchase buddy.

Looks like a cusco dash dodger, same one I had in my car. Really stiffened the car up. I would suggest some foam for the front top bar and bits where your knees are.

Thanks Matty, it is a cusco & I'm going to get some padding on it. Can't wait to fit it but I might get it powder coated first if I can decide on a colour.

Not at the moment, I'm going to fit both, but I'm fairly slim & they are a tight fit so some of my passengers may not fit unless they go on a diet. If I have to take the passenger one out ill let you know.

Any idea about price if you decide to sell ? Asking because I'm looking for a seat to buy ATM and if wont find any decent second hand one (as this one ABSOLUTELY is) I will get new one from Demon Tweeks.
Cheers

The seats are rare as rocking horse s##t, & I paid a fortune for them. If I split them up they are wort less, but if I have to I will. You can get a new bucket seat cheaper than one of these second hand as they are so rare & desirable. I'll PM you if I split them about price but I couldn't bring myself to do it yet.

:-)
I know these are VERY rare Rich. I really would like to have one but don't want to spend fortune for it :-( I was thinking to spend not more than £250 for second hand seat which I think it is not the money you would like to let it go for ?
Shame but completely understand mate. No pressure :-)

Ps I'm jealous !!!

They are lovely seats & in great condition, & I paid far more than £ 250 each which sounds a lot for second hand, but they just don't come up for sale often & new they are stupidly expensive. I could have got a pair of a different make cheaper new, but in my opinion these are the ultimate.

There was one recently sold on EBay, (Prodrive) carbon WRC model that went for £230 but not as good looking as yours. I mean, it was Prodrive one but didn't say anywhere Sparco... I know, not a big difference but from some reason I always wanted to have a decent Sparco seat in my car and I think exactly same as you Rich - these are the best looking seats for Impreza !

May I ask, if it is not a secret, how much did you pay for these ?
