Bride (or other) seats question

[someonestolecc]

Hello guys,

Does anyone know where I can get me some racing seats?

I'm particularly after some Brides - nowhere searching on the net seems to sell em in Aus.

Will I have to get some on the next trip to Japan or is it likely places like JustJap will have them sometimes?

What does everyone else run with? I won't need the ones that go flip as it will be for a 4 door gtst .. Will consider 2nd hand!

Well you actually be racing? If so you need to make sure the seats you buy are approved by the regulatory body (who's name/acronym escapes me).

I can get them new, but not very cheap once you factor in shipping from Japan and tax etc. email/pm me if you do want a price.

fyi - have seen them sell 2nd hand on these forums a few times.. usually around $600 for average condition.

Iwells - I will be trying to get a L2NS CAMS license ( i think its that ).

Does that mean I need to have seats approved by them to go on the track in the timed events? I thought people could go on those runs with stockos?

Dave - ouchhhhh we talkin over a grand?

As long as the installation of the seat is fine, then they are fine for L2S events. But for the road they should be ADR approved, but many proper race seats meet ADR and FIA so no worries from safety aspects, it is possible you may run into strife if you have passengers in the back seat of your car and you have a fixed drivers seat.

If it floats you boat i have a new Velo race seat, its no Bride, but is FIA/ADR approved and more comfortable/supportive then the Bride seats i have sat in as im not built like the average Japanese guy...ie sit in it before you buy, most are small and very tight. $520 + postage and the Velo is yours (end shameless self serving plug)
