I have a problem... I require a bucket seat for a new project but I am on the larger side of things. Short of swapping the pub for the local civic centre with a bunch of middle age ladies for the next 6 months what are my options?

I'm sure I read on here a while ago about a good seat for the larger male. Anyone have a link?

 

Sabelt Taurus.
Sparco Evo XL

 

Thanks for the reply. The Evo looks more in my price range.

Anybody had any experience with it?

 

Had the Sparco XL, was a good seat, but I now have the Taurus.
I find that even better, but it is a seat where you really have to get used to.
Getting in and out is quite difficult, as the side bolsters are much higher the the Evo ones.

The Evo is way more supportive then the stock seats, but the Taurus is in another league, you almost wear it like a suit.

I am 1m78, and weigh 110kg+, so that should give you an idea.

 

Sparco are poor quality compared to http://www.motordrive.com/acatalog/C...ion_Seats.html

Plus they do made to measure should they not have what you want on the shelf.

 

The Sparco bucket seats are all FIA homologated, except for the Speed, so quality is not an issue with Sparco tbh.
Mine held up for 3 years, without any damage to the seat.

 

Fare enough, I wasnt impressed by the EVO L I had.

 

Thanks for all the advice.

I think I'm going to look into the Sparco XL and the Motordrive Pro4.

 

I have a brand new custom motordrive pro5 (norweigan spec, or something).. Cost me approx £400 with the rails.. My fat **** doesn't fit into it and it was the largest they have a mould for!.. Drop me a note if interested.
