Finally got some new seats !!!

[piooly]

Well I have at last got some new seats for the 160. Cant believe how comfortable they are and I wish I had got them years ago. Its slowly becoming more track orientated which is what I want. The motorsport seat should prove good for the next bedford track day on the 17th.

Fitting these two seats was the most difficult thing I have even done on the car. I've changed the brake, suspension, even the engine and these seats were worse !!! atleast they are in now..

Hmmm, not sure how the red would look with Azure Blue.

No offence piooly but the old ones looked superb - what was wrong with them?

Love my 160 seats, very minimal but very comfy. I can understand why someone would perhaps want more padding though.

Look good Piooly. See you at Bedford!

Doesn't look bad in the flesh. This pic' makes them look sort of pink which they aren't. Better than boring black IMHO.

Ahh the Lotus motorsport jobbies. Nice one Oli. My only gripe with them was that the drivers one is fixed, and that would have hacked me off. Good for trackwork.

As for boring black, I'm a big fan of minimalism...

well I am getting more into track days and have been after more comfortable and more supportive seats for a long time now. These came up for same. Just been re-trimed so look brand new. Only cost me £350 ! I cant believe either how good the drivers seat is. Its amazing how different it makes the car feel to drive. Its almost like its got loads more grip. Combine with the harness, it feels fantastic.

Yes its bolted down but I never used to move my old drivers seat anyway so it doesnt bother me. Also means only me can drive the car which can only be a good thing lol !!!

To make them even more comfy, I have replaced the drivers seat foam with matress memory foam. This has turned a comfy seat into a very comfy seat. Forget probax lol !

Good deal dude. Glad you're enjoying the car as it should be!
