Tasty

Thnx!

Another Prodive Sparco owner here. Must say, they're amongst the most comfortable buckets I've driven in, and this is my daily - so both long and short journeys.

Not for those who like their food though as they are pretty narrow. For me, they're a perfect fit, nice and snug, but I know a lot of friends who actually cant fit in them. It's nice, because it also means I have a valid excuse when they ask to drive it and i say no ;)

6 point OMP harnesses are also good, though for day to day use I only use 4 points. To the poster who asked if they're suitable for day to day use, the absolutely are, just takes a little bit longer to out on. Now passengers, that's a whole other story! As my wife is usually the person in the passenger seat, the harness is sized for her... And she's quite small. Get a passenger who's bigger, and never used proper harnesses before and it will take a fair bit longer to get going.

As driver though, it actually doesn't take that much longer to put on when you get used to them, and you certainly fell a lot more secure. I don't like getting into normal seats with three point belts, way to much movement!

can some one explain whats so good about Bride's seats ? they dont seem to do any motorsport?

next year i plan to get seats and carbon firewall etc ect, planning on sparco and maybe prodrive Harness to match the subaru WRC cars ?

Not sure TBH, I'd have recaros any day of the week for the same sort of money:D

I have a set of Sparco pro 2000 with luke 6 points in mine but I have no pictures as they are only added for track and drag days the rest of the time I have a comfy leather interior.

jonmc where u get your seats from mate

Got them off Guv last year when he put a standard Spec-C interior in his car:D

how much they go for roughly mate

About £450-ish, maybe more if you want an in date FIA stamp for racing:?

any one ? :thumb:

They do run Bride seats in jap racecars. But its more of the trendy JDM thing to have them in your road car.
I know im bias but Recaro are the ones no question.

nice one thanks frayz. think a trip to D tweeks is needed to test them all out.

Bride are pretty well involved with racing etc in Japan.

But like many of the high end JDM manufacturers...... if you need it explaining, you dont need to know! :brickwall

Why ? Just seems odd that no rally team use them, they look more of a show thing to me which is not what i would ever want? :thumb:

fmp is alluding to the fact that "if you have to ask you will never know"...which means he (and everyone else that knows about Bride), is\are cooler than you because he knew about Bride and you didn't...

However outside the school playground all you need is Google to stay hip ;)

I've never been hip :(

:lol: me neither...generally I'm too confused :freak3:

lol thanks guys :hjtwofing

Bet he has a Adidas track suit to go with those seats.

:lol: FTW...

Best Bride seats are made in Malaysia I heard ;) ...FTW Hella flush etc ....

Excellent. Are those Sparco side mounts and judging by the last pic it is mounted directly to the OE rails?

Did you have to modify the rails at all?

I was thinking of doing it this way, fitting the seats for competition but refitting the OE seat (and sliders) for day to day.

Is that possible the way you have done it?

Cheers, very informative

honesty FTW :brickwall:lol1:

I do like these though...

Yes

Did you have to modify the rails at all?

No, straight swop - but we bolted the seat runners to the rails so that the seat would not slide (but this was a nut/bolt fix so was adjustable).

Yes it can be done, but as the car was used for hillclimbs/sprints we decided to have seat bolted into position (whilest keeping the adjustment arm "thingy").
