Racing seats - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #5977 19 posts Started by ToYCeLi8
Well my question here is if all the racing seats are the same?? I know there are bucket seats made for straight drag that dont move or anything. Then there are some that move but are really thin. The ones I'm askin about are the ones like the TENZO rally seats. I think all the brands have RALLY seats. At HIn i st in a SPARCO rally seat,... oh man... that thing felt so comfortable. IT was just hugging me, it made me feel really safe.

So do all the RALLY seats feel that good? IF so i need to know cuz i have a pretty good hook up w/ TENZO, (i.e. any 18" tenzo rims for $680 >biggrin.gif> )

Last i know the brackets are made for the car, BUT are they made depending on the brand too?? Like can i use sparco brackets on the TENZO seats??

As opposed to racing seats, I'd MUCH rather have GTS seats from a 7th gen...cheaper, and look damn good. Bolt directly in too. I don't know much about racing seats like you've showed though.

You're asking if those seats are different? All you have to do is look at the pictures you posted yourself to see that they're different. >tongue.gif>

I sat in the Tenzo R Rally seats in my friend's Civic and in my other friend's Cavalier, and they are very, very comfortable, and definitely hold you in. They make it much harder to get out of the car, but it's so worth it because the seats are awesome! >biggrin.gif>

Akimbo, are you sure that seventh generation Celica GT-S seats bolt right in? I thought they required modification to bolt in. >wink.gif>

I dunno..but they are sweet:(

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 7th gen seats need modifications to fit.

Ask John(Mynzeyes). He has them.
thanx...

I'm not sure what the 7th gen seats look like does anyone have pics?? Plus i want them in red or red/black?

Coomer i wasnt asking if the pics of the seats are different b/c YES i can tell the difference. I ment is there a difference in the brand??

Will the SPARCO seat feel different from a TENZO seat??

Oh, my bad, I got confused. >wink.gif>

Anyway, here's a pic of seventh gen. Celica seats in a sixth generation Celica.

I'm guessing that the Sparco seats that are a similar style as the Tenzo R seats will feel about the same. I'd guess that the Sparcos would be a bit nicer, but I'm not sure. >wink.gif>

ugh

those seats are ugly


If you do get racing seats please get a color that goes with your car.

I hate those people who paint there cars bright green and then get red seats. get like black or something neutral.

>bowdown.gif> >bowdown.gif> Your interior looks phenomenal. Custom all the way!!!
holy crap your interior is fuggin awesome man


mad propz g funk


hehe
Am i getting the feeling that i shouldnt get the racing seats??
Where do you get those 7th gen seats from???? I'm very interested!!
i have a pair of the tenzo seats, and they are really comfortable, but i have heard that the color fades easily on them, Sparco seats are another good brand, but for the price, i would stick with the tenzo rallies, which are almost identical to most other "rally" seats
IMO...Stick to the custom ones you have. They look great.
