Lightweight racing seats - which ones? (budget)

[RobPhoboS]

On a tiny budget, so likely to use Ebay as well but I'm wondering which lightweight bucket seats to use for my trackday fling about ? (lil MR2).

[shameless ad]i have a brand new and unused cobra monaco s in black for sale if you are interested. not particularly light (about 9kg) [/shameless ad]

dont know if things like the lightweight caterham-esque seats would fit or be suitable but the kit car mags usually are a good source of options. must be some cheap fibreglass ones in there...

Rally Design have some for under £100 in fibreglass. not as light as a 7type seat but look good value

Lots of Caterham sprinters make their own foam seat using bin bags and expanding foam - perfect fit and very light.

Cheers guys !
Only doing track work later in the year, so I guess it doesn't need to be FIA approved.


(I can't afford to buy anything at the moment, just doing my homework/shopping list)

If you don't need a current FIA cert then look about for a 2nd hand seat that's time expired - you coulkd get a real bargin that way. Same with race belts etc.

i got a sparco corsa brand new second hand (the guy that bought it couldn't fit - it is quite tiny to be fair) for £120 off ebay. had one tiny tear in the material underneath. got a sparco rev as my passenger seat, picked that up for £100.

both fantastic seats imo
