Recently I discovered that PCA has what I consider to be an idiotic rule... You cannot run a racing harness in a track event if you are running stock seats. Seems they would rather have you use a 35 year old lap belt that won't even properly retract at times, leaving you bouncing around the inside of the car unable to properly control the car than use a modern racing harness. But what do I know.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
So, I need some recommendations for some inexpensive racing seats, with holes in the backrest for the harness, that will fit on the stock 914 seat tracks. I am only going to use them for DE and TT/AX, so I want to be able to put the stock seats back in the car the rest of the time. What works good in a 914???? |

I am sure the Kirkeys with back brace can be made safe. But I started to realize that while Kirkeys are inexpensive, that if I add in the cost of the back brace, I may have just erased my cost savings over an FIA seat. Just to be clear I am not knocking the Kirkey/Ultrashield aluminum seats. I came "this" close to buying one myself.
What I am doing is rolling the dice and ordering a Momo Super Cup XL FIA seat tomorrow. I can't find one local to sit in. I "think" I will fit and that it will fit the car, but there is only one way to find out. Worse case, I have to deal with restock fee and cost of shipping back.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'd be interested in hearing your follow-up on your new seat. I too am an "XL" guy and need a seat that will fit me comfortably but not be a nightmare to get in or out of. Please let us know how you fared. TIA Stew |
