I've been reading up on seats and I have to say I kinda like the "buddy club" seat, at least the way it looks like it will sit and fit for me going 5-pt harness. I also like Recaro Pole Position seats (I know they're expensive) but not sure they can be tilted the way I want or if they'll be too tall. Those Ultra-Shield seats look decent, I'll have to study them some more. I also looked at GTS Avus seats but I'm not sure it can be tilted/adjusted upon installation the way I want (see below), and it seems like it's too big for a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Seats are a big problem for me since I'm 6'3" ... so the seat has to be low, broad enough to accommodate my Viking-heritage shoulders, and I drive with seat back in a very upright position (almost no lean back at all). So I'm shopping around and looking at seats that can be adjusted to fit in the 914 that meet all that criteria. Apparently padding isn't such a big deal to me. I once got very used to sitting on a worn out VW seat (sitting on a cloth-covered metal seat frame since the padding had long since worn away) for nearly 5 years without discomfort, even given 3-4 hr drives every day. I happily will sit on a seat with "hard" cushioning as long as it's low, broad, and no tilt back. Guess I was born to be racer, eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
