As the title suggests really. Looking for bucket seat and mount options for the RX8 as am looking at track days next year and would like a little more support than the OEM seat.
Anything else I need to think about?
Thanks

Depending on your height a lot of seats can be a tight squeezeStevie_P wrote:As the title suggests really. Looking for bucket seat and mount options for the RX8 as am looking at track days next year and would like a little more support than the OEM seat.

I’ll can’t remember what model seats I have but I’ll add tomorrow
I’m sure Neil will be along shortly , he can make you some base brackets then it’s just the side mounts you need unless you can weld ?

I haven't welded for years and don't have the equipment anymore but may be able to get hold of some.mrspiller wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2019 8:56 pmPretty tall thenStevie_P wrote:I'm 5-11 if that helps?

Perhaps with the lack of practice and the possible consequences I'd be better off getting someone else to do it..

Re: Bucket seat and seat mounts for RX8
I have a pair of bucket seats ( cloth upholstered ) with brand new adjustable seat rails on both if anyone is interested.
£350 the pair.

Re: Bucket seat and seat mounts for RX8
Could be interested though ideally only after one.
Any pictures of the seats / mounts?
Can send them to my email address if easier?

Re: Bucket seat and seat mounts for RX8
I haven't received anything, my pm's don't work so it has to be email option through club or contact the admissions secretary to allow your email address to me.

Re: Bucket seat and seat mounts for RX8
Hi everyone
Bit late to the party but I'm also looking for a driver's seat mount/bracket for my 8. Planted seems to be the best (only??) option but I can't get hold of one from any retailers after days of googling and phonecalls. So... anyone know of one going spare from any forum peeps?
Cheers
