On Ebay, I see these nice looking seats and the buy it now price is $85 bucks. I think he is making his money on the shipping, $150.00 for shipping. Still, racing seats for a pair for around $235.00. Does anyone know about these seats???

well, they aren't racing seats, and there's nothing porsche specific about them that i can see. not FIA approved, no mounting brackets, items sold "as-is", and $150 shipping?
at least they're reclining so you can go ride gansta style

You'll prolly have head clearance issues when you mount these in a teener....

I doubt they will fit back in the back pad.
If you like them I would email the seller and find out what the 914 seat adapters cost and how much height they add to the seat.

Scott,
If you want to know what they are like, go to Pep Boys and check them out. Seriously.

Check out the local pep boys add... They just got seats that I think are just like the Sparco "sprint" seats... I just ordered 2 of em in black/grey... (just saw the add today.. See if I like em, can always take them back..) But at 80 per... I figured what the heck...
I have been searching franticly for apic, have no luck though...Sooo I'll upload a pic of the add... lol

This kind of stuff clogs up ebay, and turns it into an unviable trashbay.

Ya, try and cypher through all the hundreds of the exact same add...
And you look for one decent picture of this new seat that 3a has out (checked everywhere, pepboys, 3aracing.com.. all the places.... They dont even recognize that they now sell this seat.....) and NOTHING...
Where are their priorities?
sheesh..

I hauled a beautiful pair of Corbeau seats all the way up to Reno, when I was having my cage built and the seats ended up fitting as advertised, but with the mounting brackets supplied my head hit the roof.
My experience is that getting seats for your 914 is something that you need to do in real time.
I ended up using Kirkey which TC Design installed.
