Title: WTB - race seat
Post by: Fast Eddie on November 16, 2009, 05:55:50 PM
i'm looking for a 2nd hand or unwanted race seat or pair of race seats to put into my Alfetta GTV.  It or they must have the crotch belt hole and be in good enough condition to pass scrutineering.  Preferably black or grey but not critical if cheap.

Also looking for a pair of front Alfetta GTV seats (for the frames only i.e rest of seat stuffed) as I might attach one to the other assuming height isnt an issue.

Preferably in WA only as although i can ship it interstate, my min cost is $60 plus.

you sure you dont want to resurrect the yellow, red and black interior?  Never was quite sure why those Germanic colours.
I'll probably take em and pull em apart, thanks.

First run was a shocker with no grip whatsoever and a ton of understeer  and cold tyres but so was everyone else except the lotus'.  But i had a play on the 2nd run trying to break the tail away which worked a little.  2 x 57 second runs in a field of 50 where the best was a 50.2 and the slowest a long way over 1.20.

Entered in Vintage stampede dec 6th so that will be my test to see if i want to start doing this again.

I think I can bring myself to part with them, i need the room

There where a few slip sliding around in the first couple of runs, that red lotus was bloody quick!

My car stiiiiiiiill at the panel beater so looks like next year before any fun.

cheers
