BobNilsen Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Looking for a good deal on a racing seat for use on track days. Max budget is about $400. Anyone have anything in the Dallas/Fort Worth area? -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have a 17" width Ultrashield "Spec Miata" style aluminum seat that I'm not using (went with a different model). Can transport it with me to any NASA-TX event in that area and/or handoff to a NASA-TX member that may live near you. Looking for I dunno, $125 or so. Let me know if that's something that would be down your alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobNilsen Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi Ken, Thanks for your response. Would you happen to know if that seat require a back brace, or can it be mounted using only the lower side mounts? -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a short drive from Dallas. John #07 330ci Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobNilsen Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi John, Good suggestion... I have been to Vorshlag, and those guys are super helpful. But they only had 1 seat in their showroom in my price range, and it didn't fit me very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobNilsen Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks Ken. Yes, this forum is very slow to post... perhaps a case where security diminishes utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 After your 5th your posts no longer sit in quarrantine with spam. I should've left my email for you to ping me on my fault! Hope whatever you ended up with works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobNilsen Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I found the perfect seat, lightly used, for a great price. It's a Cobra Suzuka GT. Fits me like a glove. And I'm convinced that Cobra seats are quite durable based on all the many used racing seats I've seen over the last 5 months of searching for the perfect seat.
