Remember seeing pictures of a lazer blue T350 on here which had cobra seats, harnesses and some other work done to make it more track orientated, iv tried to do some searches but no joy... anyone remember who it was?

Im looking into the idea of making my car more suited to track work, i don't need comfort at this point in my life(can buy another car for that though). I want to get more supportive/lighter seats, and i think the cobra's i saw in those pictures are just the ticket, I also plan to get the toyo R888's and remove some unneccesry interior bits too, i plan on keeping the car long term anyway but will keep the parts removed incase i do change my mind. I love my tvr and the way it handles so not interested in caterham/lotus type things for a track car. Any tips from you regular track go'ers appreciated

They're Cobra Imola seats, but modified by them before covering, to fit T350/Sagaris, and with specific mounting frame too, otherwise seats won't fit pointing straight forwards, or be right height & angle. You do need to be slim, the wide version of the Imola just won't fit, we tried. irked

They had mine for a few days to work it out, and are now keen to supply more of course. Cobra MD is an sports car/racing enthusiast who runs a Maserati, which helped!

www.cobraseats.com if interested - ask for the production manager Marc Pidgeon.

Or can be done yourself to standard Imola seats with lots of careful measurement etc., as T450t proved first smile
