Sparco Evo2 bucket Seats
Now don’t get confused – all bucket seat are NOT created equally.
For starters steel framed bucket seats are heavy and all but the best hold you know-where near well enough.
What you really want is a decent shell seat, and these are those.
They are the upper range of Sparco seats (there are cheaper ones), and sit just under their carbon fibre seats.
These are still the current range and sell for £375 plus VAT each (check Demon Tweeks out) – so the pair would cost you £862 plus delivery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See here: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=S/S866FBLK
The Evo2 is the wider version of the Evo and is a size that ‘normal’ people can fit into ;).
Seriously though – the standard sparco seats (including the Evo) is really only for 12 stone people. These are the seats you need if you are more my size – 6foot, 14 ½ .
They fit nice and snug and hold you in all the right places without being uncomfortable even on long trips. This is what sets expensive seats apart from those cheaper ones – along with the weight (these are seriously light!!).
As you can see they are well used. And although perfectly serviceable they are ‘tired’ with holes and some small splits in the seams.
However for a track day car, or a functional car they are ideal as they are a massive saving over the seats new.
Note though that you can by complete seat re-covering sets from Sparco if you wanted to make these new again.

£150 (remember these are over £800 for the two new!!).
Sparco bucket seat mounts
These are genuine sparco seat mounts that fit Sparco side mounted seats (like those above).
These are them on Demon Tweeks:

So would cost you £83 plus delivery for the two seats!!!
These are almost as new (slight marks from bolts).
Also these don’t come up very often second hand either, so you best snap them up!.

TRS Harnesses -
Lastly you’ll be needing to keep yourself in these seats.
So here is 2 TRS 3 point harnesses.
They are clip in so you could have normal seat belts for everyday use and stick these in for the weekend/track use.
