Seat Time Project: Name needed

[ern-diz]

Man, glad to hear you got well. Pneumonia is no joke.

Interested in your seat mod. I want to get new seats for mine and was going back and forth between NRG and Sparco. As you pointed out, NRG is the more cost effective route, but I've heard things about NRG quality. I won't be taking my car to the track, but I also don't want the seat compromising me in an accident.

Well, my thoughts are as such
1) don't get into an accident #ferrarianswer
2) NRG makes good cheap stuff that has markedly gone up in quality as the years go by, other seats I would look into are Corbeau and Cobra, price marketed goes up with perceived quality
3) NRG makes a cheap bucket style fiberglass shell, similar to other "cheap designs" sparco uses a tube frame and it feels way different.
4) if you arent doing FIA regulated stuff then it would be fine assuming you have the rollbar/cage to go along with it.
5) I chose NRG for a few reasons, one it was a cheap seat to test fit my butt, the local shop was able to get it to me for stupid cheap, and if it breaks can buy something else, if it doesnt it worked ( sun fade is real though)
6) I already had the cage, crow harnesses so the stock seat and airbag became a harzard.
