Ghostface · 12-11-2007, 01:58 PM

do you think these will look good on a Black S2000 (ap2)?
im not sure how they will look like though when its inside.

They'll look great (and you can sell your stock seats for $6-700...

)

Ghostface · 12-11-2007, 02:56 PM

will they be able to do what my stock seats could do? (go up and down, retract, etc)

kgf3076 · 12-11-2007, 02:58 PM

you have to buy the seat rails so that you can adjust the front/rear movement. Sparco seats like that do not recline. They are fixed back. Most 5 point harness seats are fixed back.

It looks great but for everyday use its probably unconfortable.

nope, they're very comfortable. The biggest problem in every day driving is getting in and out of them.

gomarlins3 · 12-11-2007, 06:48 PM

I think they are overkill unless you are planning on tracking the car.

Keep in mind that in some states bucket seats aren't street legal because you can't use the traditional 3 point seatbelt with them. Not sure if the next applies to the S2000 but having a rollbar (to attach the 5-point harness) might also be illegal.

i like those, i would get some but im a widebody so i dont think it would be comfy for me at all. Does anyone know of wider ones.

Ghostface · 12-11-2007, 10:02 PM

Up or down? Our seats go up and down?

The back reclines (up or down is not the most accurate way to put it)

Java Junky · 12-12-2007, 06:06 AM

Accurate?????
We don' need no stinkin' accurate!

kgf3076 · 12-12-2007, 07:15 AM

Accurate? Isn't that a car built in Japan by Honda and sold in the US as a upscale Accord?

desmo4 · 12-12-2007, 07:52 AM

The big question is, will the seat you have in mind, fit in the car? There very few seats narrow enough to fit in the S. And the seat rails will to some extent define the seat width. I have a Recaro SPG and it just barely fits with 04 door panels to get a bit more room. As to the harness, no one will hassle you except the SCCA about the belts. For the SCCA you need to put in a sanctioned roll cage. And you want talk about getting in and out if the car is your daily driver with a roll cage.

I pretty sure any seat which will accommodate more than 35" around the widest part will be too wide to fit in the car. If you want to close the door that is.

If the S wasn't so much fun to drive I could fall asleep in my Recaro.

i dont think the S seats hug me very well, every turn i take i find my self leaning into the window or over the middle console. Does anyone have the seatbelt locks that are on RickS2000??
