I've been autocrossing the red 914 for a couple events now, and notice that the stock seats are a bit lacking in support and comfort.
I've noticed at corbeau they have the FX-1 Pro seat http://www.corbeau.com/products/fx1pro/fx1pro.shtml This seat looks really nice, and they seem to have mounts for a 914, but I can't find any place to buy the dang things. Performance Products has Momo seats at pretty decent prices, however they don't have any brackets that fit a 914 listed. http://www.automotion.com/productpage.aspx...OMO+RS+GT+Seats Does anyone have any suggestions for sport seats for the 914? Pictures and personal experiences would be really helpful. |

You will end up modding and fabricating your seat and seat rails anyway once you realize your helmet hits the roof while driving.
I have sparco rails bolted directly through 1/4" pads welded to the floor pan. I also cut out the front cross brace. so far after ALLOT of High G loading there have been no ill effects. I have two older Sparco steel tube frame seats. I want a MOMO fiberglass seat next go around. |

I will need them to be easily adjustable on the drivers side, my frequent co-driver is a good 12 inches taller than me. Corbeau advertises rails specifically for the 914. |
