The drivers seat is mounted, just not sure the fixed passenger seat idea can "work". I can reshape the bottom and backrest to match but the shoulder support and headrest protrude.
The Audi dash shape will match the headrest and the door panels are reshaped as well. Two seats will have symetry but not at the dash. They will reduce the need for back padding if any but then it will look less "production". This is why I removed the cage and opted for the hidden Engman reinforcements. Making harnesses look "factory" is also a detail challenge... Attached image(s)

IMO if you ever intend to carry a "co-driver" during spirited sessions, you need to provide them with the equipment to enjoy the ride. The same reason you need a different seat to drive well, is exactly the same reason why they'll hate riding with you if you don't give them the same amenities.
Having said that, I'll also suggest that if your passenger is more than likely to be a female, she'll hate a narrow waisted racing seat. She'd like something simular in style/support, but a little wider in the seat to fit her wider hip structure. JMO (if you really need to know, you could ask me how an ingnorant male like me knows this - but you can probably figure that out for yourself (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ) Having said all that - the asymetrical appearance of you sketch kinda appeals to me - think probably because you don't see it all the time. If it were to be a "show car", I'd be tempted to go with it... But... when push-comes-to-shove... If-it-were-my-car... I'd mount another simular seat to the drivers to be symetrical... for the reasons listed above. (everythings more fun if everyone's having fun) |
