can't find a pic, but on certain bride posters/websites, it'll show the outline of all their seats, the zieg2 has some funky/different shell/dimensions compared to the rest.. it's the shiznit

yeah, i saw one being sold. I wanted it, but the guy was from norcal and he didnt want to ship.

and the other one *aaron, ahem* was sold before i knew it was even for sale.

Its all good though. I'll find one eventually.

sideview_180sx · 07-08-2005, 11:44 PM

Lol.. Didn't somebody with an S13 no sunroof say they didn't have alot of room with the Zeta III? Wow... this whole seat predicament is confusing me. But hey, if your 6ft 220lb.. I'm sure I could fit in with a helmet as I'm 5'11. Is the Zeta III L a "lower" seat?

Zeta L (Large), it'll fit bigger/taller people like that guy. If you're interesed on a Zeta III, Im selling a used(only used ONCE) w/ gradtaion for 700.

Also i have an s13(no sunroof)with a zeta 3 and I still have head rooom in there

Maeda · 07-09-2005, 01:27 PM

PFFF
That guy probably still has it because he can't part with it and didn't sit in it before buying.
I'm 200 lbs and 6 feet tall and if I had to sit in a Zeta III Type L everyday I'd fucking shoot myself.

Zeta III Type L WILL NOT FIT anyone over id say around 170 lbs at 6 feet tall.
The shoulders don't fit properly.
The hips won't really fit. When you sit in it at my size... you have to stretch the bucket around your bones and then it fucking pinches you the whole drive.

So the designed it to be a bigger seat, but made it sit lower to accomidate? Or it's just a bigger seat period.

Nan Desu Ka?! · 07-10-2005, 12:02 AM

i have myself an OMP WRC seat and let me tell you, it is infuckingcredible. holds my like a GLOVE. i love it mucho. on to the stats:

1. S13 with pop up roof.
2. OMP Fiberglass WRC
3. list is $779. got mine used from a co-worker for 150

4. Bucket
5. custom brackets using OEM slider.
6. bracket mods required- cutting, trimming, drilling, grinding, ripping apart brackets of oem seat.
7. 5'8 130lbs
8. has enough head room for me w/o helmet. might need some modificationg to fit a helmet comfortably. i'd say i have 3-4" of room. less on the left side of my head though.... stupid sunroof

9. i would recomend this seat with the bride fg rails if you are too much taller than i am. i think even i am going to try them. i kinda like sitting a little higher though. awsome foot placement for heeltoe. keep in mind i wear a 30" waist but i think up to about a 36-38" waist could fit in, just might be a little tight.

ill see if i can update with better pics.

i8yourfwd · 07-10-2005, 02:57 AM

I hate you alex

Nan Desu Ka?! · 07-11-2005, 01:43 AM

u <3 me, dont kid yourself. and shush you, you are getting welded diff first. lol. imma be super jealous.

i8yourfwd · 07-11-2005, 01:46 AM

Eh, if nobody buys my crap ass sparco, I'll just tell your friend to fab me some rails and I'll use it for now.... Unless you want to get me brides.. my b-day is coming up

Nan Desu Ka?! · 07-11-2005, 01:55 AM

Dunno where he got them...but it looks like MSRP is $1,775.00.

http://www.tees-usa.com/price_list.html

It is the GIAS Gradiation, real nice looking seat.

Tygma · 07-11-2005, 06:26 PM

That OMP seat looks weird. And it looks too wide... does it hit the door?

BOMEX180 · 07-11-2005, 08:02 PM

it looks like it hitting the door.

greddys13 · 07-11-2005, 08:12 PM

on that omp seat, looks i would have to open up the sunroof for my head to fit.

Tygma · 07-11-2005, 10:32 PM

Yeah it looks you should have bought a rail or something instead of making one. Whatever works for you though.

(I think I would have to have my head tilted when I drive)

Nope, not at all... i have about 1 1/2" before the glass. door clearance is no problem.

Like i said, it is a bit high, definatly not for anyone over 5'9. and i also said i was thinking of getting the bride fg rails... see if they help lower it a bit more. works incredible for now though. hopefully the next 2 purchases will be a weld lockd diff v3 and the megan coilovers. after that i will check out lower rails, for now though its 1283718273877 times better then stock (and around the same price for good s14 seats) so i aint complaining.

drift into a curb · 07-11-2005, 11:39 PM

Those OMP look like bottom mount seats.. But I can't tell if those are holes on the side. FG are side mount rails. Better check yourself before you..

Nan Desu Ka?! · 07-12-2005, 02:28 PM

o shit, your right... lol guess im screwed then. wow i totally brain farted that one. thanks!

after-thought: well, its great now, but if i grow another 2-3 inches... then ill be fucked lol. and im 19 so i dont think that is gonna happen.

trackstar · 07-12-2005, 07:54 PM

Well, I think I found seats for myself....after sitting in numerous models of numerous brands (none of which fit me), I went to my semi-local Porsche / Recaro dealer, who have the entire Recaro lineup in the showroom. I sat in a few and fell in love with the Pole Position:

I never thought I would go for a bucket, but this one is damn comfy, surprising since I am 6'3, 200 lbs. It's a little tight in the shoulders for me, but no problem.

Now I just have to get it to fit.

The Recaro side mount brackets might work with some custom fabbing...dealer said they have an Wedge bracket in S13 application, but I figured if it were that easy everybody here would be all over it, and I never see it, so...

Wei240 · 07-12-2005, 09:48 PM

i think bride rails would work on recaro buckets, not sure, but i'm sure someone can chime in...
