I was actually trying to quote someone else.

Anyways. I was saying, Most of the time I head out to drift events, track event, blah blah events. Some of these guys spend so much for seats that can't actually drive ie you. JK.

edit: If you're in a budget then why not.
Whatever works, used it.

Dousan_PG · 11-21-2003, 03:31 PM

haha
oh ok
i know i cant drive
or drift

im very open with that

that's why i'm not a club4ag instructors, cuz all those guys are great drifters....right? ......

KiDyNomiTe · 11-21-2003, 03:37 PM

S14 seats are good budget seats, if you are gonna buy real racing seats, buy REAL racing seats.

justinhustle · 11-21-2003, 06:39 PM

man a lot of replies

anyways. i had no real intention on getting these, im pretty set on a driver recaro

i just had never seen em before

masta · 11-21-2003, 07:04 PM

Yeah TRUENOCOUPE is kinda right. Call it jealosy or whatever, but you see a lot of people with money just pull out the cash and get everything they need for their car and have it installed the first week. While some of us must wait and pool up money.

Then again some of those probably paid their dues. We all have are time to shine I guess.

Anyhow about that seats. I wish the copyright laws were better, so sellers can not trick buyers into buying what they think are great parts.

Warwick5s · 11-21-2003, 09:39 PM

supposedly, if you're going to go knockoff seat - go Arospeed, because they're just rebadged recaros. even come in a recaro box so i hear.

my only concern would be getting a good slider that sits low enough. JDM recaro maybe? i doubt the bride ones would work.....(dousan your input if possible?)

oh boy.

Warwick5s · 11-23-2003, 12:16 AM

i actually think i'm right here...but i am going on second-hand knowledge here so who knows, i've been wrong before.

these seats. i know they just came out with these recently and their older ones were complete crap....ahh wtf am i talking about. i live in hilljack wisconsin and haven't seen shit. so i'll wait to see if someone else can back me up. until then,

adey · 11-23-2003, 03:01 AM

...

...you mean you were serious about the arospeeds being rebadged recaros??!?

Re: the seats on ebay... don't get them! If you must buy a cheap seat at least do what I did; find a good deal on a second hand momo/corbeau/OMP on ebay with a seller somewhat near by you, then go out and look at it, sit in it, and if you like it, pick it up!

Anubis · 11-23-2003, 02:28 PM

I'd rather spend the extra cash for a nice, safe quality seat, then some cheap ass ebay special thats gonna help to kill me in the event of a crash.

curbsurfer · 11-24-2003, 03:37 PM

the arospeeds are rebadged recaros. the box says recaro, the hardware says recaro, under the seat cushion says reraro, they feel exactly like recaros....they are recaros.
only thing that doesnt say recaro is the headrest.i guess that matters the most anyway

i probably doubt this, but i've heard R1 seats are made by Sparco. I don't know but a good friend is selling his torinos and getting R1's because of the Torinos lack comfort for daily driving (believe it or not, i agree with him) BTW, how much are the retail on the arospeeds?

curbsurfer · 11-24-2003, 09:40 PM

www.arospeed.com

thx247 · 11-24-2003, 10:20 PM

they are not rebadged. This was already figured out. Its a farce.

curbsurfer · 11-24-2003, 10:28 PM

where was it figured out? link? i only ask because i have seen these up close and personal and they were the real deal. unless they have changed something from a year ago.

old_s13 · 11-25-2003, 12:53 AM

You mean you saw up close and personal just how shitty they were, or what?

hahaa lemme guess, you could TASTE the smell of crap? haha

Warwick5s · 11-25-2003, 02:44 AM

well...true or not, at least now i know i heard it from somewhere else and am not, in fact, losing my fvcking mind.

vodka · 11-25-2003, 09:12 AM

Actually, the fact of the matter is that Recaro manufactures seats for arospeed. If you guys know, Recaro is one of the largest performance seat manufacturers, from OEM rockets like the LanEvo to fighter planes, and they are the guys arospeed contracts out to make their seats. And BTW, I know a couple of people there, and I did see this fact for myself.

old_s13 · 11-25-2003, 09:41 AM

I'de like to see some proof, have you taken apart both seats to compare build materials?

As far as I know, this is the SAME idiotic discussion that I heard on Fresh Alloy (and other forums) where people say the 180SX chassis is identical to the 240SX chassis.

Yeah, okay.. lets start this one up again.

Until I see proof, Recaro = Recaro, Arospeed = Whatever.

You know, NISSAN advertised the OEM S13 seats by saying that they've "torn apart some of the best seats in the world, including Recaro's" when they first introduced those odd-shaped seats which are found a dime a dozen in our beloved S13s. If you ask me, I wouldnt touch those with a 10ft pole.. Recaro or not, my back fuckin hurt for years with those lame seats.

mixedwell · 11-25-2003, 11:05 AM

i highly doubt that arospeed seats are rebadged recaros. the price difference is way too different, and recaro SRDs, like most reclinable recaro's have that tilt thing on both sides of the chair. the arospeed does not have that function, which is a recaro signature. and R1 is all crap. sorry to say, but Sparco rather go bankrupt than be a part of R1's crap products. all their parts are cheaply made. im not saying its all not good, its jut not Sparco.

NEWS flash for you seat Newbies-
*** just cuz it looks like a recaro, doesnt mean recaro makes it. and jut cuz it looks like a Sparco, doesnt mean Sparco makes it too. just to fill you guys in, so you wouldnt look so dumb next time.
