Those Sprints are fucking garbage. I have Evo's now and the difference is ridiculous. The backing on the sprints feels like some shitty nylon straps with fabric wrapped around them. It actually used to hurt my back riding in those fucking things.

what do you guys expect? The Sprint is ENTRY level seat. At least its not a knockoff or something.

I didnt realize it cost more money to make something that's not uncomfortable as fuck. It isn't like they're a flat seat and that's why they're cheap. They're somewhat contoured, they're just contoured like shit.

Entry-level COMPETITION seat. I have one in my car and it's fine while out on track. It was only uncomfortable when I drove the car 3 hours one way to events. Now I trailer. At $400, its the best value for an FIA approved seat, which actually more important to some people than the scene points of a knockoff.

Of course it costs more money to make something better. Why do BC dampers ride like shit vs good dampers? R&D, materials ect...

FX is like $100 less then a Sprint and is more comfortable.

Yeah, but they're like. Really. Bad. Like they put serious R&D money into making them as uncomfortable as possible.

Marketing.

It forces you to spend more on nicer seats...

The one weld he showed up close, just look at how piss poor the fitment is on the tubing.

That whole cage is a disaster.

Is that the newer Corvette?
I'm pretty sure it's his dads, but I feel sorry for them to having to deal with that POS parked next to it

Also, for 15k, I'd rather buy a fully functional clean S15

And how do you get in and out of that thing lol

More like 15k for a crumpled can.

KAT-PWR · 02-25-2016, 09:29 AM

I wanna message the guy and say "Would you take fourteen five for it?" And he'll be like "yeah man I guess I could do that." Then show up with 1450

Dirk Jan · 02-25-2016, 10:00 AM

Wow that would be super awesome.

KAT-PWR · 02-25-2016, 10:49 AM

I actually messaged him about it. He said he's realistically looking for 3k. Now I feel kinda bad about trolling because that's not an absurd price.

derass · 02-25-2016, 10:51 AM

The cage in that thing is a total piece of shit.

That doesn't excuse the 15k advertised. If I want to sell a car 10k I'm not going to ask for 50.

I hope this will not become a trend.

Gingersmurf · 02-25-2016, 03:53 PM

While we are on the topic of roll cages that will do diddly-fuck if you roll over

obviously not a 240.. sorry, but people actually expect this to protect them...

That looks like some sort of beetle based sand car. I don't think that is really being built for rollover.

The Tacoma is done correctly. Desert racing is serious business and roll overs are common.

Drifting? Fuck, cage is more likely to bust your skull instead of save it.

Oooh it's one of those! Didn't know about that.

But I still hope that people will not start building cages like that to S-Chassis..

I want a cage for my car... Sorry for off topic!
