OK bros, someone tell me

1) Where we can get those Mazdaspeed seats?
2) Do they bolt into the stock mounts?
3) Are they fully adjustable (i.e. sliding and reclining)?
4) Can you use the stock seatbelts for daily driving?
5) Can you install a harness for racing?

I appreciate the responses.

Peace...(hippy)

crdms1 those mazdspeed seats can be purchased from corksport. They cost as much as the sparco torinos. as for your other questions I'm sure if you called corksport they would probally help you out in that area. If you find out anything let use know.

Much gratitude...(bowdown)

Peace...(hippy)

stl---- those are the seats i was looking at getting... i was looking at those and the other ones with mazdaspeed at the top....

 

[STLBLKMSP]

I'm thinking about getting the seats that has mazdaspeed down the middle of the seat. Mazdaspeed1 are these the other seats that you are talking about

Those second pair of seats are better. They are Mazdaspeed type f seats. There are a few places that can order them for you. They will "match" the interior better because they are covered with the same faux suede that our cars have right now. The only thing that is bad about those seats are the prices. It will cost you about $2,200 to get the seats, the brackets and the insurance to send them from Japan. Depending on where you go, it also takes two months (Corksport) or five days (Taka Kaira) to get. Good luck.

Aww hell I'm going to the A2 classifieds board on VWVortex and finding some used VW Recaros - old school, but GREAT seats. Then I have to find someone who can weld, and fab up a bracket or get a bracket from Recaro - they're pretty standard if you get the right seats ('89 GLI black/grey...). Then fab up some seatbelt brackets, and get a loan to pay for the fabbing.

doggone it I wish I could weld...

Maybe I'll just chill with the seats I have - they're not THAT bad (go sit in a Matrix...)

(omg) (shocked) Yikes! That's some good info right there, thanks. Looks like I'll be looking more at the Sparcos then.

Why not go with a cam buckle racing harness while you're saving up for the seats? i put a set of Safeline's in, 3 inch wide belt and 1.5 inch sub straps to rings at the front seat bolts. Didn't put in the shoulder straps. Works great for autox and only about $100.

 

[azian6er]

with the sparco torinos, does sparco make brackets for the msp? will the protege 01 and up brackets fit the msp? any feedback is appreciated.

 

[upsman]

azian6er...yes

 

[Wesman]

I have the Torinos and I love them. People come up to the car and when they see the seats they start drooling. They are quite a bit stiffer than stock though, and after about 5 hours in the car you know you've been driving. For backroad charging and autocrossing though they are great as you could well imagine. I wish i waited for Sparco brackets mine were a custom fab mint $$$.
The reason they didn't come stock is money, they are bloody expensive.

 

[azian6er]

so yes they do make them for the msp, or yes the brackets for the 01 and up protege sedan will work?? Thanks..

 

[upsman]

All the brackets for the Pros are the same...they will fit.

 

[azian6er]

upsman-- i was looking at the pics of the torinos in your car and the brackets you have do not look similar to the ones that i have in my car. That is why i am curious.

 

[upsman]

The stock seats and rails come out of the car totally...there will be nothing left but your floorboard.

When you get the Sparcos, you buy the seats, sliders (makes the seats slide forward and back) and the seat base. Nothin original stays in the car. Trust me.
