<\/a><\/p>\nIt’s my favorite, because the Suzuka design offers superb lateral support, without all the big head-restricting elements found in dedicated roadrace seats.\u00a0 I ran a Suzuka in my 240sx and loved it.\u00a0 You can also pull out the bottom seat cushion to get even lower, which is great on course, then put it back in for extra comfort on the drive home.<\/p>\n
This is the fancier “Technology” version, that they only make to order.\u00a0\u00a0 I found it second-hand, but brand new and never installed, from an NSX owner.\u00a0 The Technology version features carbon-fiber construction vs. Kevlar, has more durable wearing materials, and uses the same sort of fancy shape-remembering foam used in F1 cars.\u00a0 A cool seat!<\/p>\n
The seat mounts took a couple revisions.\u00a0 The bottom of this seat is a bit wider than most, so the popular brand Wedge Engineering<\/a>\u00a0said they couldn’t make brackets for it, after a couple calls.\u00a0 Instead, I bought a pair of Sparco’s universal sliders and fabbed the mounts myself.\u00a0 The seat is as low as it can get, while still allowing the slider lever mechanism to lift enough to let the seat move.<\/p>\n Hard to tell if it’s low enough, with the car still up in the air on jackstands.\u00a0 If not, I’ll have to forego the sliders, and attach it in a fixed position.\u00a0 I’m really not that tall (~5’7″) but like to sit lower and a bit further back while autocrossing than most people my height.<\/p>\n One advantage of going to fixed position for the driver’s seat, would be the possibility of the seat mount stiffening the car up a bit.\u00a0 For the passenger side I went with a classic Kirkey seat, again repeating what I did in the 240sx.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
