Hello folks. If we/I get at least 10 people to go in on these seats ![http://www.kirkeyracing.com/images/seats/47000.jpg](http://www.kirkeyracing.com/images/seats/47000.jpg) I can get them for $350 Canadian tax in, with the cover. The seat is regular $245+tax and cover is regular $148+tax US dollar. [http://www.kirkeyracing.com/](http://www.kirkeyracing.com/) Intermediate Road Race Seat 47000 Series I am making nothing off of these, I’ve rounded up, but it will only cover my gas to go pick them up and bring them to my place. This is to keep the end cost down. I’ve sat in one (Canadiandrifter240sx) and wow does it hold… great seat. The fitment guide is on the site… choose your width and cover colour and let me know. Pick-up/Delivery can be Orangeville, Niagara, Brampton, Mississauga. I’ll see what happens if there are more then 10 people are interested. No cash collected until 10 people are in. 1. P.Ruddy seat 47500 / cover 47511 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. ---

I’d like to get the order in by March 31st… they have to manufacture them and then I have to go pick them up… I’m contacting them now to find out their turn around time and if the cost will go down with more then 10 orders. I’ll keep everyone posted. Later pATricK ---

rail: I don’t know which braket will fit right up, but I will find out. There are also lots of bright people on here that can fabricate them. My guess right now is that you will need a custom one made, not very difficult. hight: How Canadiandrifter240sx has his mounted in his car, you are not super high in the cabin. I will take some measurements and what not my next trip to visit the guys at S1DC. color: And there are no pics of the black, I can email the company and see if they have any that they can send me. badge: They all come with the badge. pATricK ---

FIA is European, these seats are made in North America for competition in North American events, mostly drag racing which does not have restrictions on seats. Spending the dosh on getting the seats approved doesn’t make sense. At most they have recommendations - ie, if you change your seat, we recommend you use X-approved. ---

still no pix? How do these compare comfort wise to s14 seats? Better? Worse? When one thinks about it, endurance competition seats should be ultra comfortable if one were to do a few hours of racing… but then again… that’s just a thought. Long drives = how is it? ---

Chris has it in his daily driver, I’ve sat in it for a few moments and it was really comfortable, Chris would have to comment on the comfort for long drives. Pics coming soon. pATricK ---

Comparing aftermarket seats to S14 seats should be a good measure. ---
