Installed my Sparco Torino 2's

[SP33D]

Yayy took like 7 hours to install... did it by myself. What a pain in the ass. I don't have pics right now cuz I don't have a digital camera, but I'll probably get pics after my back seat gets reupholstered. Until then (yippy) I'm just excited to use them.. they're pretty comfy
I'm using stock seatbelts for now because I can't find anyone to make me a harness bar

BTW forcefed, the passenger seat as you know is pretty tight against the pillar, but the driver seat is fine, except for the fact that while my friend stopped by for a few mins he crossthreaded one of the damn allenkey bolts that connect the seat to the bracket and it doesn't go all the way in now.. so now the seat wobbles a little.... it also sways left and right a little bit but I think the bolts on the bracket just need to be tightened. I'm just too tired heh.

Here's a pic of the seats before installation

sweet...how come only the passenger seat is close to the pillar? shouldn't it be symmetric?

 

[Protege Mommy]

[protegeV]

werd. i have the torino 2's as well but all black. My friend told me that the gray on the seat will become dirty as s*** with dily driving.

You are right about the pass. seat rubbing the pillar though.

Are you gonna get harnesses?

[SP33D]

im gonna get harnesses i just cant find a god damn place that makes them.. well at least out of the places ive tried so far. sparco wont make it either.. nor will this other harness bar/ roll cage company i called

 

[azian6er]

i suggest either having one custom made or just run the harnesses at shows or whatever.

I dont have too many people sitting in my back seat so i run the 4 pt. sparco harnesses daily.

why wont they make it?

not worth it monetarily?...not wanting liability since it would be a one-off safety equipment piece?

im gonna be wanting a harness bar in the future also, cuz I do NOT wanna bolt the harnesses into the rear seat belt bolts.

there's not really that much of a demand and it's not really on their priority list for harness bars. i mentioned and chatted with a sparco rep about it every so often.

How's the fitment of the brackets? Were you able to fix the wobbling? I'm just dying to know how you feel about them since I'm in the market for some Monza seats. Thanks

 

[SP33D]

the fitment of the brackets was a little off.. i had to dremel 2 holes on each wedge. I fixed the wobbling.. just needed to be tightened. I love them so far, and next week im gonna start looking into getting the backseat recovered.

 

[Sushi-Monster]

how much did those brackets cost?
