Ummmmm racing seats.... pics!

what do you guys think of this? in black. The black pic is too small...






I can get a set of two for $200... it's by Villain Racing and has the same style as the Recaro SRD, without the huge price tag...

My stock leather seats are in bad shape... the bolsters are torn, the driver's side looks like it's been chewed by dog....

Why can't our car be a race car? I race it on the track, i sometimes race it on the street. Any car can be a race car if the owner wants it to . The stock seats are no good since i keep sloshing side to side while driving. It's hard enough to concentrate on driving, let alone fighting the g force at the same time...

its tough for some to fabricate a way to get the rsx seats in our cars. Personally, I think our leather seats suck. They don't hold you for crap, and aren't comfortable. I actually picked up bebops brides and they are so much better... it feels like i get to the places i go faster because I'm not sliding around in my seat, and can take a turn without having to slow down because due to turning in my seat. Seats do make a difference imo.

they are not cheap sir, V-racing is a subdivision of Konig. These seats go for $339 retail each, i just by chance found a great deal for $200 a pair.

here are the link to summitracing's site:
http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...2&autoview=sku

I could care less about the leather seats... they are badly damaged anyhow and i don't have the dough to get Recaros or Brides, i'd rather get seats from a less well known company (in this case Konig is quite reputable) than wasting money on some brand names... gotta love the student budget

Our seats freaking sucked. Seats that hold you in place gives you more information/feedback about the car while racing on the tracks (and I dont mean drag). Same goes with losing the power steering. I had to concentrate more on holding myself in my seat then setting lines.

whoever says our cars arent race cars are just lazy. you can make alot of cars fast with the KNOW HOW and the money. and alot you guys dont have the know how and the money. im tired of people saying this car is luxury and cant do shit at the track.

A key factor in making a car fast is money, and lots of it.

I don't like knock offs... it's embarassing when someone's drooling over the seats and then you say "it's a knock-off".....

its just like rota's. if i get some J-Mag's and throw an "A" centercap in the middle only a true tuner is going to know that they arent really Mugen M7's. and besides V-Racing are kinda ricey IMO.

I don't like the V-Racing embroidering either, i'm thinking that i'll take that off and have someone embroider the A or A C U R A on the seats... it's considerably cheaper than real/fake recaro/bride, and more unique...
