Oooh, tempted by your VXR seats. How much, any wear on bolster, do you mean the full thing assembly, got any pictures?

11k use on drivers side about 6k passenger side no marks at all almost as new ..dont know on price ..and yes will be the complete units

[007 VXR]

Ive been looking into this as well but all the prices I have seen have been the same, also Ive yet to find someone to supply a purpose made subframe to mount them on and I dont like the idea of a DIY seat frame in a 20k car!

larkspeed are quoting about 695 with carbon fibre backs +extras

were have you tryed for the mounting frame ???

just spoken with cobra

they could/poss do something but need to know the mesurments of the fixing point on the sub from are car ..can you find out/or do you know this ??

[007 VXR]

also does the subframe in a monaro unbolt from the seat ??
being told , if it does then it would be poss to use sub frame we have ,then make an adapter to fit..?

[007 VXR]

What sort of weight saving are you expecting? Only reason I would change the seats would be for weight as the standard ones are fantastic

monaro seat are about 30/35kg cobras are 13kg each

Quite a reasonable reduction then

ones ive been looking at are the ones with carbon fibre to match the rest of my car but , the ones with out carbon start at about 300.00 and weight about the same

[007 VXR]

some good news ...sub frame does come off the monaro seat

will get some mesurements of fittings and see how we do

i was wrong on the weight of the monaro seats



more like 50kgs each

so could be total weight saving of over 70kgs

[007 VXR]

fixing points on the cobra seats are

internal fixing ( with 8mm holes)

width 292mm depth 330

external fixing

width 405 depth 330

..can also poss get a discount from cobra direct if 3 or 4 want seats

anyone know the monaro seat, fixing mesurments ???

[007 VXR]

after_shock said:

50 KG's!!! You sure??

One bloody heavy seat that, now wonder they are comfy

yep ..making me want them more

dont think it will be much of an issue getting them to fit now ..cobra may be able to do this or the fish will ...will keep you posted

What about all the electrical stuff in the seats?

that half the problem ..weight ..the motor is so slow its not worth having in the fist place ...IMO

would be good to get 70kgs of weight out of the car ...

you know what its like if you have a passenger all the time then go out for a drive on your own the car feels quicker .......weight ...not good

Mark, I'm after the same seats now, how'd you get on with Cobra and the subframe?

I've found a couple of US GTOs that have the Misanos in, and a subframe for each side made by a US company called Planted Technology which is what I believe they used to mount them. They appear to fit in very nicely, and I think Cobra may even do a custom logo on it, just trying to find out about that (Monaro text perhaps...)

When I saw the carbon backs, I had a suspicion that you'd already have looked into this

At the time I could not find anywhere that could do the mounts
But would still like to do this

I've spoken to Carnoisseur as they seem to have the lowest price on the 'Lux' (CF backed) version, currently an eye watering £810 each.

They don't think they get any discount on multiple orders, but will check. Also, we can have Monaro stitched in to the headrest instead of Cobra, the proper logo may be a bit tough due to copyright issues, but I've e-mailed Holden brand enquiries just in case

I think they can stitch in pretty much anything, so if you want 007 on your headrest, you can do just obviously not the actual bond trademark logo

EDIT:

From my searchings, as you suggested earlier they do appear to weigh just 13kg, so a lot lighter than the stock sofabeds, and from the install pictures I found, you appear to sit a lot lower, which would be nice.
