Light adjustable seat?

In reply to mazdeuce - Seth :

yeah, you probably have to budget for a bean-bag fill, or foam cover (?), in addition to the seat on those

In reply to sleepyhead :

I can buy sheets of memory foam and all sorts of fabric at my local fabric store. The plan was to roll my own, but I should probably be more normal.

I wouldn't bother with RSX or Civic Si seats. I have an 07 Si and am not a big fan of the seats. The side bolsters are pretty good, but the lumbar is in the wrong spot for me.

Those Boxster seats seem pretty excellent. 

I have a 2010 Accord EX-L V6 sedan, and I took it out for a long ride this morning while thinking about your situation. I doubt that they are even close to being light, but if you have any thoughts of doing One Lap in your Accord, the driver's seat in this thing hits such a combination of supportive and comfortable that I would say screw physics and  Colin Chapman and bolt one of these seats in.

The passenger's seat in this car is less adjustable and not as comfy, so I would probably skip that, but the passenger's seat from an Acura might be better.

side impact bags were an option on the Accords for at least part of this generation (certainly the early part), irrc.  The Acuras all had side-bags in the seats.

I'm going to guess the Traccord doesn't have side-bags... if so, it might make more sense to swap in a seat that doesn't have bags... since I'll assume the pigtail isn't there under the seat?

Are they manual seats or do they require power? 

They had manual ones, plus several different powered versions, but even the powered ones only require two wires to operate. I have a set of 2004 GT3 Sport seats that are manual fore and aft, with power adjustment for the tilt and lumbar.

 

 

Are you selling? If so, how much?

If anyone is interested, I have a drivers seat from a WRX listed for sale in the classified section.

In reply to Devilsolsi :

No, these are not for sale. They are the nicest seats that I have ever owned.

In reply to Devilsolsi :

And I would 100% buy that, but geography. 

In reply to Woody :

The issue isn't comfort, the issue is keeping myself in place on track. I spent Saturday in the Civic with a proper race seat and six point belt. On Sunday I was getting a cramp in my left hip from bracing myself in the Accord. 

I haven't looked,  but are the off road suspension allowed in on road racing? Some aren't much more than a framework with seatbelt webbing in them plus a pad, so they can't weigh much.  And in order to meet off road racing rules the frame and materials might meet on road racing rules too.

Damn. I have been keeping my eye out for some reasonably priced sport seats for my 996.

In reply to Devilsolsi :

These were not reasonably priced when I bought them.

At first I was wondering why one would want a seat that is adjustable by light. Then I figured out you were looking for lightweight adjustable seats. 

Carry on.

I'd go looking for Elise, Evo, and Ford ST seats.  I know they're all supportive well regarded seats.  Miata crowd likes the Elise seats.  They're sought after but as a result would hold value well.
