ok not for a few months(proper r+d takes time)

basicly, get a bunch of seats made, that kinda look like the BF/HSV/FPV/etc sports seats.. nice and huggy(like ya nan) but upholstered in your cars stock trim(grey leather for me) so it matches the rest of the car.

im getting sick of the EL GHIA 1-person-bench-seat pews where if ya hook into a corner you go flying into the door/centreconsole etc. (cant use left foot as brace coz its manual)

any takers? suggestions? anyone know good trimmers willing to adapt/mod seats? how much would you be willing to spend? got any ideas for design? and good pics to send to the trimmer?

what we could do is get a couple of crappy gli seats and get two peoples seats worked on at a time so when u pick up u drop off the gli seat for the next guy. that way u can still drive ur car while the seats at the shop.

post yer comments -

Yeah prolly get mine done, ill be in

the e30 m3 is the closest to what i want, coz the lines match 90s cars and the seats of the time. cut the seat off where the harness holes are, and stick the headrest on there..

i'd be interested cwampy

e30 for the win

Hate to say it but the Senator seats look most comfy.
But any of the GT-P, Senator and E30 seats look good for me.
I reckon I'm in. I've got spare seats at the moment too.
I'll take the ones out of my EL XR8 and use them to get worked on while my EF Fairmont Ghia leather/velour seats can do into the car until the seats are finished.

Is this going to be for both front seats not just the drivers one?

Anyways I'm in.

also these- but have horizontal fabric joins (al la new seats) not the vertical here-

coz its out of the box tho, i duno if theyd adapt them to our bases.. personally i want to keep the base so the height adjuster/recliner stays 100% stock. ie to make it a EL sports seat. not just an aftermarket bolt-in.

tim: im probs goin drivers first, coz moneys too tight to mention. but yeh if ya want two im sure that can be arranged.

actually arent your XR seats good enough? or do you want some shoulder support aswell? from the pics they looked half alrite to me.

not wanting to postwhore too much more, the e30 recaros are best. the shoulders are nice without being huge like the senator/fpv. those look too modern to me, but hey we see. maybe theres a place that can offer multiple designs..

GTP man there sick!

The XR seats arent as buckety as you think. I'd rather have bigger bolsters and thigh support on the sides. Also while they are doing the recover and shape I need new headrest supports that go into the seat frame because all mine on the front seats are busted.

i'd want drivers & pass too, not just the one

id be on this. cant cost that much to have seats transported over here.

100 bucks by road freight depot to freight depot.

yeah, depending on which design you end up going with id be definately interested.

Very interested, but will depend on funds available at the time.

Hell yea, would love to be part of this if i have the funds at the time! Must admit i'm a big fan of the senator seats *ducks*

yeh well apologies to those that want big fat seats, im really leaning toward fpv GT seats(not gtp)style except more physically huggy.. ie they're as tight to sit in as the hsv etc ones, but they look like gt seats(maybe tiny bit more sholder flare)..the shape of em will sit nicely in the EF/EL interior.. i like the gtp/senator seats also, but they're too big and tall(ie they're wide all the way up past the start of the headrest. to have that ud want to have the entire interior matching/flowing like having the rear seats sculpted to look like subdued sports buckets) hence the gt seats, it will match better and not be too out of place..

anyones thoughts on this?

and yeh for me its about funds aswell which is why im sayin now but not doin anything for like a few months. and even then there will be plenty of time to gather some coin together.

just like that(note- i not gonna do the nut-sack pad like fpv do) except no fancy stitching, and the EL ghia or something factory headrests instead.. all for the sake of being custom, but looking stock.
