Okay guys just checked.
If its 5 years then im afraid it expired in 2006 and if its 10 years then shes good till 2011.

The seat has never been used in competition and is in near perfect condition.

Ive been told by others that most people get the stickers remade anyway.

Oh and the weight is 4.54kg

Agree with the dates on the belts....but not on the seats.

The seats in our Grp A clubman impreza are long out of date and we have not had a problem competing at any time this year?? Seat dates only apply for national type events?

Hi Jon, sorry should have checked the bluebook first, you are right, although based on the below I think that is changing in 2012, was getting ahead of myself, ours is full Grp N int Spec.

Do my seats have to be homologated?
Unless specifically stated in Championship Regulations for National events homologated seats are not mandatory. For International Events FIA homologated seats are required. From 1.1.2009 all new stage rally cars will require FIA homologated seats for National use (1.1.2012 for cars that currently hold a valid MSA Competition Car Log-Book).

frayz...

your seat will be fine as long as it is not used in international events. Current cars used in clubman events should be fine with your seat, although this is only Rally rules and maybe different for some RACE events?
That should clear it up????
