New Seats

[mazdamanik]

hey guys and girls, im looking into puting some new front seats in my BG. At the moment im going for the autotechnica Monza line in all black. I was just wondering if anyone has them and are they good or would reccomend somthing else, the main idea of these seats is to be a little more supportive but not blowing the budget...probably look an no more then 300 per seat.

Thanx all

id be sussing out your rails to see if you have an uneven floorplan. if u do ull have a mighty fun time trying to get the seats in

cheers mike

If you want you could buy my seats from me from my BA Astina, they are posted up in the For Sale Section.

Honestly, the SP seats are WAY more comfortable on the arse and the back and offer more mid section support.

I have $700 Aerotech race seats in the front of my car and I still love it when I jump in my old laser (now my g.f.'s) with the GTX seats. Just for reference, the areotechs are heaps better than the Monza's (yes I've sat in the monza's many times) and as I said, the SP seats are heaps better than the Monza's too.

yea my mate had monzas in his white astina and they were massive n the car and very uncomfortable on long trips

you should spend the money on modifying the sp seats,then they would be confortable and original.just a suggestion.neways wwat ever seat u end up gettin post us up sum pics.

monza's are very flat in the back and base of the seat . i find them uncomfortable sitting in them for a short time.

if you want a seat look around for some second seats from a rex, rx7 or something along those lines . it will be a bitch to modify the rails , but these seats will be miles more comfortable then the monza's. even 300 dollars spent on each of your current seats would have them shaped to a sports seat which would be hell comfy.

ill be able ot sell you front and back (matching sp seats at a good price. should bolt right in. let me know ;)

[Rupewrecht]

the BA seats are some of the best i've every sat in. about all i'd do would be to get the tops reshaped.

Just get the ones ya got allready re done it will be probably cheaper and theres nothin wrong with them
ive got some black n grey monza ones sitting at home and havnt bothered putting them in. they have massive shoulder supports which means ya dont move around at allbut they do take up heaps of space

[mazdamanik]

ok thanx guys....might look into re-doing the current seats into somthing more supportive....at the moment if i go round a corner i slide everywhere so see what hapens thanks for all ur info

[andrewgrazier]

just do what i do
put one arm out the window or hold onto the roof!! especially goin round that corner to rathmines near the golf course!!!

[mcwilly]

how good are the corners round near there, i love it so much fun. the other thing to consider is how much u lay ur seat back the further u lay it back the less support around corners u have, as the force push's u sideways theres nothing on the side to hold u because its to far back and u end up slidin between seat and the seat belt

[mazdamanik]

i dont sit that far back...and i dont ahve a sunrof to ang on to =P but u are right the corners out ehre are good, specialy the sweeper round the golf corse....nother good section is the road up past awaba tip got a good windie bit there....hafta come out one day chris and we can go for a blast around =D

[mcwilly]

yea i love goin to sydney because thats the way i normally head down,i also love the charlie s bends easily take them at 110 so much fun

[ROB-80E]

You guys need to take the old Pacific Hwy down to sydney to take a trip to Walcha Via Wauchope. ;) That'll test out your seats :D

BTW, I'm still scratching my head as to how your falling out of SP seats. :S

[andrewgrazier]
