The AX bug has bitten me bad. I need a seat that will keep my fat from moving during AXing but also good for street use.

Looking at past Threads it seems the Renegade Hybird Touring style seat might be the one for me. So who here has any experience with these seats? Do the facorty seat belts work well with these seats? Anyone going to the MWC have them in their 914? I would like to try them before I spend the $$.

I gave a set the tush test at a V8 meet awhile back. I liked them. There appear to be some concerns about their long-term durability, however. Yes, they work with stock seat belts. Renegade also has an alternate bottom cushion that's thinner than the stock one.

Jim Chambers has one in his street/ax car. I think he likes it very much. I know that it looks nice and it is not cheap but not to expensive.

I haven't called yet but I think price is around $300 -$400ish. Saving my pennies, hope to have some sort of seat for next year AX season.

They use your seat. So find a box big enough to ship yours to them in sin city. That is expensive enough.

Yep I know. I have a extra driver seat that I can send.


You know, since I would have to send it to sin city I think I need to take the seat out to them just to make sure it gets there safely

Ultra Shield's Deluxe Road Racer looks like a good value to me. Get it in all black and it would look pretty nice in the car. It's an aluminum shell with snap-in fabric cushion, like my Kirkey's but much less $$. I believe that the shop you got your helmet from sell these. As you see, there is a size for every one.

You know that you are a bad influence on me

Worth checking out. I think I like the looks of the renegades better just because they do look OEM ish
I would have their logo done in black so it doesn't show so much.

I currently have a 914 in the shop that has Renegade seats in it. They have about three years of wear. Only noticeable concern is the drivers outer thigh bolster seems to be loosing its form. Of course we are not exactly gentle with this particular 914 Talk to Scott at renegade and be sure to confirm a delivery time Larry.

Onlly thing I don't like is that they WON"T make the seat without the Renegade Hybrids logo on it (or so it was a while back)!!!

Still true on the logo thing. They said they'd do it in black, but they wouldn't do it with no logo at all.

I have one that I use driverside only and for autox only (now). I tried to use it as a daly driver seat but it's a pain in the ass to get in and out (of course I'm 57, old and fat) if you're young and dont mind the occasional goose from the Left side bolster then it's great. A good feel, for me at least. Seems to work fine with the stock belts but a 5place would be even better. Good luck.
