QUOTE(Martin Baker @ Apr 21 2004, 11:32 PM)
I am looking for a new or used 914-6 GT type seat, and opinion on the best Race/Sport Seats for the 914, preferably one that fits the back pad, if one exsist's. What about the one Auto Atlanta used to sell? Where those a custom made seat that they had done? Really would like to upgrade to a more serious type seat.  Thanks in advance.

I think the seats AA had were Koenigs, or at least they made one that was similar. I did a quick web search and didn't turn anything up except for one guy who's running Koenig P700 seats, that may be the model number (he didn't have pics). I'd call up a Koenig retailer or maybe their NA headquarters and see if they have a listing for a 914 seat.

The closest you'll find is the old Scheel or newer Konig seats (same seat, I think Scheel sold the design to Konig). I'm not sure if you can take the headrest off, but that'd give you the closest look. I also want some Konig seats, but I'm not sure if they are making them anymore. The part number is KS914 and it's a 'specialty' seat for the 914. It fits the backpad AFAIK, a local guy beat me to one for sale, so I'll check his next time I see him.

If anyone knows where to find them, at a reasonable price I'd love to know...Group Buy anyone?

Nathan

PS: If you are over 200lbs or have a wide (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) , these might not be the seats for you.

The one seat that AA used to sell was a reworked stock seat, I have one that I purchased many years ago, sitting at CAMP, dark brown in color. I also have a couple sets of the Konig seats, they are a very equal match to the 914-6 GT seats. I have one iin my 914-8 AX car, definetly keeps your butt planeted, speaking of butts, they need to be narrow to fit.

I am very happy with my new Renegade Hybrids seat. Got the one with highest bolsters. Again, could be tight fit for those with broad beam. Pretty expensive when factoring shipping your core and return shipping. However, since it is based on factory seat, everything fits.
Right after I got mine (naturally) Bradholio said he knew of a used one for sale somewhere.

The AA seats are no longer available. The were a stock seat with a straight triangulated bolster added. I didn't think they looked to bad, but I sure didn't trust the quality. If you are small, Corbeau makes a seat that looks close. They will raise you up in the car and they do not go back all the way (they dont fit the steel firewall recess, let alone the back pad. I was not able to find any of the scheels or koenig seats, so I had Renegade Hybrids build mine. I have heard of seems coming loose, and I think it is due to the tweed the use on bolsters. I wanted mine to look authentic as possible, so I had them do the entire bolster in vinyl. I am 6'2", 250 with a big ass. The seats are a year old and still look new. I spent the extra 30.00 for a 1" piece of foam that was upolstered to match that replaces the bottom cushion. That dropped me at least an additional 1.5" in the car. Even with my big ass and the tall bolsters, my car is very comfortable to drive.

Since the Konig seats are hard to find I might end up with some of the Renegade seats w/ the full vinyl bolsters (if they'll do that for me). After seeing pictures of Scott's seats time after time they look better each time.

If you want to AA seats, I seem to remember CAMP914 posting something in the classifieds trying to get rid of his stock of stuff. Say some brown AA style seats there. Not sure how tight the lap part of the seatbelts would get though (might want to think about that).

No rips, cuts or tears. One tiny (1/4") hole.
$250 plus shipping or free delivery at the WCC.
SOLD

FWIW the Koenig P700 or CP700 are not the ones you want; they are full race seats. Steel tube frame and heavy as a tank, but fairly comfortable. Not sure if they would fit with the backpad.

Wow, Very nice, exactly what I want...and SUPER Exspensive.


Yow! If those guys manage to sell any seats at those prices, I'm in entirely the wrong business. And they also have the temerity to say carbon fiber is "expensive"! By their definition, that must be 5 figures. And here I was thinking the $350 Renegade wants to modify a stock seat was pricey...
