Race seat back in, shit is getting real.

For those curious, it's a Bride Zeta III Plus, made for people bigger than the average Japanese racer.

Seats look bulldog. Comfy enough to sit in them for 3 hours without getting back cancer?

It's not bad, much more comfy compared to the usual Zeta seats. Space wise, I would say it's comparable to the Recaro Pole Position (waist, arse area) but with a larger top area for broader shoulders.

I have a bad back, and any car seat that's not OEM will give me back pain in about a hour.

Is there a passenger one coming? It has to match Farken!

I'm planning on going twin recliners. So yes there will be matched seats, but not a pair of fixed buckets.

This is just a stop gap until I get a pair of recliners.

Maybe Recaro Sportster CS 😍

It’s only a 14 mm socket x 4 bolts to change them.

 

mix and match for what the duty is. 🤷‍♂️

Got a set of them in the mrs focus rs, awesome seats but a bit of a pain to get out of at times

They are, but for some light track work, they offer decent support. I used to have a Recaro SR3 in the shit box and it was hopeless for Wakefield. I would be trying to push myself into the seat another corners instead of trying to steer.

It's a space thing, will now need to leave the stock seat at the in laws.

Joys of Sydney, pay for air not land.

That’s a harness thing. Having good seats is one thing, being stuck in them is another 

[Murray_Calavera]

Speaking of harnesses, are there any plans for half cage and harness?

Yes and no, the Zeta 3 Plus holds very well for lateral movement when compared to a Recaro SR3 or a Bride Brix (used them both also real ones not fake ones).

I agree a harness will improve being planted in the seat.

There are plans for it, been a plan for a while lol.

I really should just do it, mainly for safety. Especially now I'll be easily doing 220 to 230km/h down the mainstraight at Wakefield Park (provided it even stays open now due to all the issues they're having).

[Kinkstaah]

Just make sure if you get a harness you get a HANS. Then there's all sorts of extra things to consider like a helmet net and proper collared seat and etcccccccccccc.

Just adding 1 can be less safe than adding 0, but I am sure you know that already.

Ohh noooos, it's only just got all nice and shiny.....and working.....again

When you going to take it to WSID and race me for a bag of donuts

RWD JDM speed boat vs RWD AUD cruise ship

No drag radials, but semi-slicks are GTG

I've also got a tilt tray on speed dial so we are both good there....🤣

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

I think we need a SAU vs SAU drag night for sure.

I'm keen, let's do it 😎

My current AGV helmet is looking rather sad, will definitely get modernised gear soon enough. 

Can't put a price on safety.

100000% this 

A helmet with Hans post can be found for 450ish (racelids) but bell is around 1100ish last time looked and a Hans around 400. Definitely get harness suited for Hans 2 inch over Hans back to 3inch as heaps more comfortable. The raceworks/mvp ones are good value and buckles/adjusters are nice. 

Looking forward to hearing how it goes on track. Going to pretty quick on the straight.
