I know that I've got waaaay more to work on than my seats, and for what they are they're fairly comfortable, but every little bit helps on those looooong drives to 914 events. I was considering getting some of that "memory foam" (tempurpedic matress type stuff) and repadding the seat, back and bolsters. Aircraft Spruce sells some foam specifically designed for aircraft, but it's apparently made of spun gold for the price they're asking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) , so I did an EvilBay search and found some 1"- 2" pads used for horse saddles that were quite a bit bigger.......and a helluvalot cheaper.

Just wondering if anyone has done this, and if the "end (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) " results were worth it.

I would like to have a nice set of Recaro's in my 914. I cannot afford them right now. Soooo, I have a drivers seat with some small rips. not bad, and probably not noticable. But I wanted more. I just hapened to have some dense foam, some memory foam and some 1/4" hard foam in my shop I was using for motorcycle seats. Out came the bottom pad on the 914, scissors were cutting, foam was flying, I was in and out of that seat checking for fit. The memory foam went on the top layer on thigh and bolster and butt. The seat wraps around me and as I sink in it holds me in. I just picked up a 5 point race harness and I can't wait to see how it fits on my "faux sarcaux" Hey it worked for me.
