Nice looking seats and the door panels look great. What model are the seats?

There are three things I use that I refuse to lose.
1. Power Windows
2. Power Sunroof
3. Rear Wiper (this is a year round daily driver, so it is nice in the rain/snow).

Momo RSGT seats. They are a pretty narrow seat. It was my plan to keep the large ***** out of my car....thats extra weight! That and the fact that myself and my better half are narrow peeps

Getting ready for the KCWS Renntreffen poker run. It was quite spirited.

Lol, I grew up in North Dakota, driving in snow comes second nature to me. The car has plowed through 8 inches of unplowed snow many times

Doc thanks for pointing those out.. i thought those seats would be alot more. This makes me think of getting rid of my sport seats once again and getting these instead. Can you compare these seats at all to the factory sport seats? I am a pretty slim guy, 33-34 inch waist.. 155lbs, 5'11''. Sport seats fit me perfectly. I really want a lighter seat but dont want to get something that dosent have the same fit as the sport seats (which almost seem perfect for me...but they are just to damn heavy!).

BTW, did Momo have the proper slider rails?

I am about 5'10, 150 with a slightly smaller waist (31). They fit me perfectly. It is a fixed back seat which rides fairly straight up, so if you like a reclined seat, then I would get an RSGT2 which has an adjustable back. It is what they call a street tuning seat, it does not have the high sides like a race seat, but it still holds you in very tightly. So if you are planning on club racing, they are not going to pass club racing rules. For autocross and DE events, they would be perfect. My car won't ever see club racing, and I didn't want a seat that I would crack my **** on every time I tried to climb in and out of the car (such as with a full racing bucket seat). For the money, I think momo seats are a pretty good buy, and people on a budget should definetly consider them. Of course you need sliders and the adapter bracket for the seat. The adapter bracket could easily be made for very little if you have a welder and chop saw.

Sparco's and recaro's are also nice seats, but they are quite a bit more money.

Cheers.

I can get some pictures of what I have done so far. I still have to finish the fabric over the "hump" area. My buddy has an english wheel and he says he can make a really nicely molded piece for the center.

Look up Rich Sandor's rear seat delete. He carpeted his as well, and it came out beautifully.

FWIW, My 951 is a rear wiper delete car, I use it for daily use in all weather, and the rear window stays clear... once you get some speed about you the airflow around the car clears the rear for you...
