Ok, I'm just exploring some options here. I'm thinking about replacing the factory seats in my 73 for something a bit more comfortable and with more lateral support. My car will be 50/50 street/track. The street driving won't be commute type driving, it will be weekend fun driving and the track time will be local AX and DE type events, so not too hard core. I will save the seats and back-pad, don't worry.
I'd like a period correct look as well. Do Recaro LX seats from the 80's fit? Anybody here use those? What else? Please give me some ideas. Thanks in advance. Nick |

I just ordered a GTS LeMans seat from Craig @ Camp914 to replace my driver's seat.
I've found that even in short trips of spirited driving, I slide around too much in the stock seats...I can't imagine that they would be all that comfortable for long distances. I'm about a 33-34" waist so I think the GTS will be a great fit and it drops right into the 914 interior without fuss or mods. I'm hoping it will improve the driving pleasure....maybe next year I'll get one for the passenger side. Jon |
