370Z Sparco EVO3 Seats installed - pictures

Red__Zed · 04-01-2011, 03:25 PM

Looks good!

docaam · 04-01-2011, 05:03 PM

looks good any plans on selling the stock seats lol

ChrisUR · 04-01-2011, 07:43 PM

no I will keep the stock 40th anniversary seats in case I ever sell the car. I guess not everybody likes the racing seats

and yes, its a bit tight closing the door - maybe I should have bought a little smaller seats but then again, it would not fit my body mass index *LOL*

of course I will also change the passenger seat but first I need to modify the L-bracket for the Sparcos so I can use the very lowest mounting points to give me a little more clearance for the head or better say for the helmet. Currently I only have about 1 inch clearance.

Looks good, I have been thinking of changing my seats out to. But now just the drop in weight makes it worth it.

What's that "Switch" (not sure what it is) behind your driver seat in the second picture?????? (its on the plastic trim/molding behind the seat)

Also curious.

AllForTheCash · 04-03-2011, 01:41 PM

Its not present in my 6mt 2010...that's for sure.

I see the OP is located in Germany with a 7SP auto...I wonder if this is an option we don't have.....PLEASE tell me what it is...the suspense is killing me

...Do the Auto owners have this switch? Trunk Release???

I hope you vacuumed before you put the new seats in...

yes, it was vacuumed ;-)

this switch is for towing the car with a crane - it disables the factory alarm system so you can lock the car without activating the tow protection.

So when you say it's tough to close the door, what exactly do you mean? I see the shoulder level of the seat is almost at the weather seal. Does it rub on the door?

As a DD car, I'm not really up for losing my side airbags in the OEM seats. And the heated seats are golden in Chicago during the winter. Sparco looks great though.
