Looking to add some "racy" seats to my 77. I like the colored looks available in Europe by Recaro, but they're not available in the US. Sparco has some that are close, but not exactly what I'm after (black sides w/ blue down the middle) Any other sources?

Mike,

Check out the seats available from Corbeau. Here is a link to a place in the UK. I have a source here in St. Louis but I'm sure you could find many others. They are pretty reasonable and sturdy. Many options are available.

Good luck.

I have Corbeau seats and i can only comment on those. I have Corbeau Forza racing seats in my 72 and ive been very pleased with them so far. They are light and have taken a years use with very little sign of wear. One thing to note is that racing seats often will raise the hight of you and the seat because of the bracket. Corbeau makes a bracket specifically for the 70-78 and other Nissan cars. Even so my seat is only an inch or so from the roof. With seat, bracket and harness i think i paid about 400 bucks per seat. However i didn't use the Corbeau harness i have Shcroth three point belts which go for about 140.

do a search on ebay .com for NEX they are a cheap alternative to expensive racing seats ;>

Also look at the seats out of a Mazda MX5. I think that they are called Miata's or something in the US.

I have not put my order in YET. But corbeau is going to get my money. I took the time to write corbeau, sparco, tenzo, and momo. Now Momo did send back A info pack with little more info then how much I will spend. Way more then any sane person.

Bolth sparco & tenzo have yet to send anything. Now corbeau sent out A info pack that was unreal. They sent out A pack that was everything you could want or need to know. From A full seat description of every seat they sell. outer size, inner size, lbs., and options for each type. A full color photo sheet with each seat on it.

The one thing that sold me over anything was there cost sheet. It tells you what the retail price is on everything from belts brackets seats no holding back.

Dont get taken I called about A pair of corbeau forza 2 seats. (Mailorder place in A car mag.) I was told $345. per seat with no brackets or belts. I felt there was no way I was going to spend $690. on just the seats and had lost hope on them.

I looked them up in the price list and there $249 EA. Now that I can and will do.

P.S.

M.S.A has the forza 2 for $315. EA. plus oversize shipping cost.

do some home work and save$$$

Anybody try the TRS or A4 seats? They're an inch taller than the Forza, which seems to be a tight fit. A difference in seat bracket would make a lot of difference though.

Any comparo with the seats in the 2001 prelude? Switching back and forth between them, well, I think the 30 years have done something to seat tech.

Zyaa ne!

Here's the seats I just bought for my '73 Z:

I got them off eBay and they are from a 1995 Mazda Miata (AKA MX5).

There is another set for sale here...
