well if you dont liek them. you can have my red/black seats in exchange for those.

 

don't make me repeat myself i.e. I was questioning the leather fabric, not the seat itself

the typical race seat fabric tends to be grippy and this adds to the holding capability, it's not just the side bolsters

 

how do you get by inspection ? being that in most states its ilegal to tamper with airbags systems

 

I was referring to the durability. Most cloth or suede racing seats i see in other cars are torn and stained. Just trying to avoid that down the road.

As for the tampering with airbag laws. I have no idea and i dont really care. I live in Oklahoma we dont seem to care about much that other states pitch a fit about.

 

The airbag requirement is a Federal statute. I'm not aware of any state regulation for the, but with nanny states like California and New Jersey you can never be sure.

I suppose the leather durability reason makes sense for a daily driver

.

 

that and it looks hot as ****. :D

also, about the airbag deal. the inspector would have to know that the seats have airbags in them. only a handful of cars do, so i doubt that would get noticed.

 

It's funny because I was just about to post about the Airbag sensor being on and how to pass a inspection. Team, didn't you have Recaro Pole Position? Did you ever figure a way to trick the sensor or no?

 

No, my car wasn't driven much on the street, it's presently not even registered

I'm looking at the Br

 

..At the Br? Br= ?

 

Bride

 

He's looking at the Reclining Bride's...

Someone getting a bad back

 

I had a feeling it mean't that but was making sure he didn't mean Brazil or something crazy. :D Bride with their hug monster or whatever. Good stuff.

 

The forum took a dump , I fixed that last night

the fixed back seat caused a lot of problems with codrivers; different body sizes, different seat back angle preferences, etc. so I'm looking at the Bride Cuga Type HL. I hate to spend that for seats, but they only weigh 10 lbs which is exceptional for a reclining seat. If I move to the SP or SM class category all I'll need to do is drop off the STX adder weight

thats not quite my point it will still set off the light and fail you

 

^Not true. I took my car in and the air bag sensor was flashing. They didnt fail me or even say anything about it...

Guess it all depends on where ya get it inspected..

 

yeah it does but id rather be legal than not not to mention they check it on our base

 

Why did you have yoru car inspected to begin with? Really if you HAVE to get your car inspected for something take 5mins and swap seats whoopie do. I have a sparco and a quick release wheel. Wouldnt take me more than 30mins to reinstall everything.

 

By federal law the owner of the vehicle is permitted to disable the airbag system

google is your friend ...

 

Nice to know Team,,, thanks,,,
Im sure I could look up the statute, but if you already have would you mind posting where you found that info?

I am considering the purchase of the exact same seats, in leather but in black since I have black interior. Seeing your pics just confirmed it. These are what I will buy when I have enough money saved up.

 

Start saving, these guys are spendy!

Call Vivid Racing before you make your purchase they hooked me up.

 

thanks Team,,,

 

Looks like I quoted an inaccurate website source for the Bride CUGA Type HL. It may be closer to 30+ lbs with the rail setup, but I'm still waiting on Tees-USA to confirm the actual. So I may get a fixed back seat instead, which doesn't hurt my bank accounts feelings

 

The lightest adjustable backed seat I've been able to find is 25lbs BEFORE rails. I have a bunch of email exchanges with Tees and Sparco to confirm weights. The fact of the matter is that most of the nice adjustables are closer to 30lbs before rails

Let me know if you find something lighter Team. I'm hoping to find seats that I can daily drive on, but some of the airbag talk has been making me doubt that plan...

Edit: Might as well just post the weights I know:

Then after someone cleared up that the rail counts in the 25lb minimum for STX
