Racing Seats

[LinuxRacr]

My seats are finally coming apart from the bottom up. You know what that means. (glare)

My three choices:

Corbeau A4's (http://www.corbeau.com/products/a4/a4.shtml)
Corbeau CR1's (http://www.corbeau.com/products/cr1/cr1.shtml)
Sparco Torino 2's (http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=195)

What I need to figure out is if the wide versions of the Corbeau seats will fit. They are only 2 inches wider. I want the microsuede material for grip. Here are the specs:

The A4 is extra aggressive in the kidney area and will fit up to a 36" waist. The Wide version (BLACK ONLY) will fit up to 40" waist.

The CR1's are as follows:

The CR1 is extra aggressive in the kidney area and will fit up to a 36" waist. The Wide version (IN ALL COLORS) will fit up to 40" waist.


Here are the measurements for both Corbeau seats:

Another thing I will have to do is relocate some of my electronics under the seats. (nervous)

Anyone have any input on what fits, and what doesn't. Measurements?

[FunkyBuddha]

How big are you? I've got a 36" waist and the Torino fits very well. Hips are snug, lots of room in the shoulders and snug in the kidney areas.

EDIT: if you do go for the Torino, Sparco makes adapters, universal sliders and brackets that fits the protege/mp3. You won't be able to fit anything under the seats though. Also, the seatbelt thing will be a very tight fit between the seat and the center "armrest" area. The brackets are height adjustable which is cool. It's got 3 positions, but it's meant for a "set it and forget it" type of deal.

[LinuxRacr]

I have a 38 waist.

[FunkyBuddha]

Should go w/ the Corbeau wide versions. They will fit better.

[boostdprotegelx]

cr1s..look better too.

[LinuxRacr]

I agree, but will they fit? Will they rub on my side pillars?

[boostdprotegelx]

hmm. i know someone had wide ones in the car..i just dunno what they said about it....dammit. sorry man.

[FunkyBuddha]

According to Sparco's size chart http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceFiles/26.pdf

the shoulders are 22 inches wide. You might cut it very close w/ the CR1. Depends on your driving position. Got a pic of your driving position?

According to the sheet on the Torinos, the witdh (denoted by "A")is 19.25 inches which is wider than the Corbeau regular-width seats that are at 18.5 inches. The wide version of the Corbeau seats have a width of 20.5. That's only 1/2 inch more on both sides! It also looks like the Corbeau wide version seats are also about half inch wider at the shoulder on each side. They may just fit. So you have Torinos in your car? Do they rub on the sides?

[LinuxRacr]

For those of you who are curious, here are some pictures (courtesy of PDHAudio83 (http://www.corbeau.com/sponsor/gallery_7/gallery_7.shtml#)) of the Corbeau A4's next to the stock seats (brackets and all):

they have them for sparcos. actually i have them. they work great.

[LinuxRacr]

I figure they have to exist because I know quite a few folks with Sparcos in the Protege. Have the details?

[protegeric]

Thank you for your interests in Sparco USA. We offer a base for the '99+
Protégé, part numbers: 5002044 (driver side) and 5002045 (pass. side).
These bases should work in your car. The seats however do not come with
harnesses. You would have to buy those separately. Check this link to find the
dealer nearest you as we do not offer direct sales here at the corporate office,

Thank you. Any prices?

[LinuxRacr]

Anyone else have aftermarket racing seats? Got input?

[LinuxRacr]

Bump for more input.

Not in reference to racing seats, but I like your avatar. Where'd you get the tein strut guy?

[Jaysanooch]

I agree, but will they fit? Will they rub on my side pillars?

Ya they probably would, cause already with my Torino's...you have maybe a match stick of distance between the pillar and widest point of the shoulder part. It's tight as it is man....wish I had the Corbeau's to tell you for sure.

[Kansei]

Not in reference to racing seats, but I like your avatar. Where'd you get the tein strut guy?

They usually give ya one when you buy tein stuff :)

[vindication]

I would go with the torino 2's, because they are based on the Milano which I absolutely love and hopefully will het one day.

edit: or you can do what I wanted to do since I saw them.....put the MS3 seats in the Protege(lick)

[Jaysanooch]

All I know is that I had a hell of time installing my seats...I got the whole Sparco kit but needed to customize the height adjustement which involves cutting/grinding if go to the middle or lowest level. I put mine to the lowest which is a tad lower than stock position. If you get the Sparco's and the kit...you'll know what I mean. Goodluck!

I sold my torino cause I couldn't use the stock seatbelts. How did you get to use your stock ones?

[Pirana]

^ I use my stock seatbelts with the Torinos...I think it depends on what seat bracket you had. I use one from wedge engineering.

[Rally Ninja]

So u unbolted the seatbelt part that connected to the stock seat and put it on the wedge bracket?

[LinuxRacr]

Which brackets are those? Please elaborate...lol!

Beware of Ebay seats!!

[Jaysanooch]

I sold my torino cause I couldn't use the stock seat belts. How did you get to use your stock ones?

All you needed to do...provided you had Sparco base/bracket was to unbolt seat belt and mount it to the sparco base.

When you order "sparco base" it's actually Wedge engineering who makes them. Well that's what I received anyway....they fit great.

Are these the sliding bases?

[Jaysanooch]

Are these the sliding bases?

Your gonna need to order: 2 x Sparco sliders
2 x Sparco base by(Wedge engineering)1xdriver& 1xpassenger side
2 x Sparco hardware kit (get the good stuff)

** (Optional) but I recommend if your shorter then 6' tall
2 x adapter kits (if you want to adjust height)

You can quickly look for part # on Cardomain web site....goodluck!

[avarela86]

Yeah just looked at those OBX seats and for the same price I would go with a Sparco Seat.

[LinuxRacr]

No seats yet. Have other, more pressing matters... i.e. bills!!

Waiting for that commission eh?(glare)

[MP3 Games]

I have some nice seats sitting in my basement and I was wondering if anyone has used the stock seat brackets sliders and all? I took my seat out and they almost match the holes on my new seats. I think I would have to drill a new hole a little wider on the back and weld in a small flat flang for the front and drill a hole in it to mount them in. Anyone done this before i mess up my stock seats?

[LinuxRacr]

Waiting for that commission eh?(glare)
I don't get commission...

[avarela86]

I don't get commission...

Oh gotcha, my mistake. Seats are expensive and bills MUST come first. Good luck and let us know if you get a set then.

[LinuxRacr]

At the NOPI event here in Texas a couple of weeks back, I had the chance to sit in some BRIDE seats. Not as impressive as they look. The material was likened to the cloth off of old seats. It had great lateral support though! I wear size 38-40 pants, and these seats were too small for me to be comfortable. Sparco Torino 2's it is!

size 38-40 pants eh....well I wear 34-36 and I found the Torino's to be abit tight for the first 2 weeks but now they've molded to my ass and thighs. You might hate them for the first few weeks but give them a chance. And it's abit of a process to get into them to....you can't just throw yourself in..lol.you'll see. And with your waist, you can forget about keeping your cell phone clipped to the side of your belt....if that's where you keep it.

Oh, I've sat in Torinos before in Pirana's car. As a matter of fact, I sat in them for about 3 hours on the way back from Austin last year. I was even able to sleep in it. I also sat in his seats again recently to solidify my choice. He's about the same waist size as me, so I should be fine. :)

My stock driver's seat halving itself, and coming apart. :(

Ah ok so you have an idea then, good but if your getting them brand new they won't be as comfortable at first..you'll need to break them in, that's what I was getting at. Pirana's seats obviously have a few miles on them so just letting you know.

I have a pair of universal seats with sliders on them. Where can I find a bracket for these seats. I am thinking I just need a universal bracket to fit the car. correct me if I am wrong.

[Rally Ninja]

Wedge engineering might have them tp?

[MP3 Games]

Wedge engineering might have them tp?
I just got mine from Wedge. They said they were really swamped with orders and they said it would take 3 months(boom05) I paid for a rush and it took around 4 weeks. Very good build and they made them for my seats with the measurements I gave them.

[Rally Ninja]

hmmm....I do have a driver side wedge one. I think I'll post it for sale(with signage of course) someday.

[LinuxRacr]

Note that the passenger side seat may rub on the side pillar of your car due to the design of the passenger-side bracket, but they are the only ones you can get.

[protegeric]

can i put MAZDASPEED3 seats in the ol` protege? anyone with any info.?

JDM Sam, do you still have the part numbers for the sliding seat brackets I have?

[mspHtown]

JDM Sam, do you still have the part numbers for the sliding seat brackets I have?

if you are referring to sparco seat sliders, it is Sparco 493

[LinuxRacr]

Well, those, and the Wedge Engineering brackets that actually bolt the seats to the car...

[mspHtown]

Well, those, and the Wedge Engineering brackets that actually bolt the seats to the car...

does wedge make their own brackets, or do they just put together the sparco units?
Or do they use the sparco bases and build the adapters ?


i checked wedge's website and here is the protege listing:

Driver Passenger
PROTEGE 2044 2045


From sparco:

Seat Hardware Kit: Sparco 50001
Seat Base Driver: Sparco 5002044
Seat Base Passenger: Sparco 5002045

Seat Slider: Sparco 493

Seat Bracket Adapter: Sparco 500

[turbolife]

Well, those, and the Wedge Engineering brackets that actually bolt the seats to the car...

So, after rocking these seats for a year, how do you like them? Would you buy again? I have a slight tear in my drivers seat, and it is annoying me.

[mspHtown]

so apparently wedge makes the seat bases for sparco.


my bases that i got from sparco were spa 5002044 and spa 5002045.

the bases i received had a wedge engineering sticker on them.

[ForceFed]

No..the wedge adapters are the bases...Sparco makes their sliders I do believe.

well i think we are just mixing up terminology.


the protege "bases" are listed as sparco 5002044 and sparco 5002045.

the base to seat adapter, the "adapter" is listed as sparco 500 and is a universal piece.

the sliders are listed as sparco 493 and are also universal pieces.

[ForceFed]

Yes..you are right...Three pieces...two from Sparco..and the base from WEDGE Engineering.
I have had three sets of torino's..Youd think I could remember this crap..LOL!

3 different cars man....No..Torinos are good SHeet!


Thay do sit a bit higher than stock though..and weigh in about 20lbs heavier each as well in the protege.

[mspHtown]

well thats good to hear!

i dont mind being higher, lower bothers me.

yea they are definitely heavier, but i think the tradeoff is worth it.

[spotthedogg]

I understand (possibly wrong) that there is an option to run a tabbed slider 00493E with ride height adapter (500) on flat base 2044/2045. Or directly on the 2044/45 base with universal sliders 00493. Is this correct? I would prefer to keep them low if they do in fact sit higher than stock, besides I'm 6' tall.

I have to order Monday as I have a new set of RED Torino II's (headbang)
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a310/spotthedogg/sparco002.jpg

[Jaysanooch]

That is correct! You can run the slidders directly on the bases...bit too low for me though. Enjoy, you'll loved them!

[spotthedogg]

But do I have to order a tabbed slider? I would like the option to raise them if I find them too low. If I get the universal slider I can not??

[Jaysanooch]

If you want to be able to adjust...then get the "tabbed" style. But I ordered Sparco bases (2044-45) and they can be use with adapter or slidders drirectly on. I think they only have one style now.

Sparco bases (2044-45) X2 from Wedge engineering

Sparco universal slidder's (493's) X2

Sparco 500 adapter: (optional height adjust) X2

Sparco Hardware 50001 x2


Everything above will look like this except the protege base is a little different.

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/racing-seats_1984_5131572

[Jaysanooch]

BTW...I got the height adapters (493) and I have them on the lowest level which brings the seats below stock height but not too low since I'm only 5'9".

Slidders straight on the base would have been too low but adding the adapter piece at level 1 bumps it up 2-3". I like the feeling of being lower...but also thought of my big friend at 6'1"-6'2" with a helmet on for track days.

Level 1 is perfect but a real pain...if you go that route, some cutting is required...you'll see!

[Blitzkrieg]

Did anyone ever find out if the The corbeau a4 wides will fit? Im a 36 inch waist on the dot so im not sure if the regular a4s will fit comfortably or not, but on the other hand i cant find if the wides will fit.

[LinuxRacr]

I'm a 38-40 waist, and I fit in my Torino II's after about 2 weeks.

[avarela86]

[Blitzkrieg]

anyone know how much the stock mp3 seats weigh??

[spotthedogg]

Does everybody have a Sparco passenger seat that leans toward the door. The brackets don't seem very level to me. I went with no height adjustment and the are really low. I think I will have to lift them an inch or so.

[Jaysanooch]

Slightly yes...the shoulder support does touch/rub the b-pillar where as my driver seat has about 1/4 inch or less of clearance.

[spotthedogg]

I mean they look crooked, it's really noticeable. I'm going to try shimming with washers to level it up.

[boostdprotegelx]

Does everybody have a Sparco passenger seat that leans toward the door. The brackets don't seem very level to me. I went with no height adjustment and the are really low. I think I will have to lift them an inch or so.

i took some squared tube w/ holes in it.. about 1x1.. cut it to match the length of the bracket.. and bolted that up..worked pretty well.

[Jaysanooch]

One of my bases was bent out of shape when comparing it to the other one side by side....probably during shipping and I had to bend/banged things back. Did all your holes line up? I thought of check the bases first before attaching the seats to them...and I'm glad I did.

Is yours visibly worst then this? This was level 3 and I've since lowered the seats to level 1.

[mspHtown]

Slightly yes...the shoulder support does touch/rub the b-pillar where as my driver seat has about 1/4 inch or less of clearance.

mine does the same damn thing! but its not really noticeable.

[LinuxRacr]

My driver's side seems a little to far to the left, and it seems like they should be closer to the center of the car about 1/2 an inch or more.

[gone_fishin]

love your avatar linux. power rangers lol, ah.. memories

[spotthedogg]

Well I got eight M8x30 bolts today and put 6 1/4" washers between the sliders and the seat bases. I then got 4 M10x30 bolts and put 5 washers (3/8" I think) between the front tabs and the floor. This raised the seat and angled the front so it gives my legs much more support. It worked awesome and cost less than $10. The passenger seat is still tweaked into the pillar and squeeky/squeeky with the vibrations of the car but I did get it better by enlarging the hole that mates to the pin on the tunnel. That allowed me to rotate the seat a bit.

[LinuxRacr]

Two years later, the seats still kick much arse!!

[Jaysanooch]

Haha ya for sure...3 years for me and they still look new. I'm amazed on the quality of these seats...no visible wear at all. Bitch to install but one of my finest purchases.

awesome...how are they for long rides? As comfy as stock? Say for a 4hour trip?

They are firm yet comfy....if you buy new, they need a few weeks to mold to you. Once that's done...4 hours trips are no problem. I've gone 8-9 hours straight in them several times. The stock seats use to make my right leg go numb after an hour but with the Sparco's that doesn't happen.
