I have a momo that i ran for a while and was a good seat. I whent back to the kirkey as i liked the way it holds me in the car better. I do not know the model of the momo but it is an fia seat. I had a corbeau forza before the momo and hated it. They do not have much padding and it wore sore spots in my back. In the end I went back to the seat i started with in my first track car that i bought because it was cheap and turns out to be the one that works the best for me the kirkey.

Get in touch with ken at ioport he can help you with brackets and the seat. They are in Lafayette

Troy...I thought over the idea of getting a Corbeau and quickly realized NOT TO DO IT. I read a lot of negative feedback on them and they're not FIA approved so who knows how safe I'd really be in one. Comnig from high-dollar Recaro's, I'd be damned if I replace them with some cheapo $300 seats

As for the MOMO's, I like they're look and the price seems right. I'm going to try and head to LPI Racing after work to try them out.

I still haven't visited Ioport to try out the Kirkey's. I really should go and see what the hype is about He said he has a few in stock so if/when I go there, i may end up taking one home with me (which is kind of why I've been trying other ones out first so I can save the "best" for last).


BTW...did you receive my text? I sent you the M.O.

Ian, depending on how tall you are, plan on fabricating some seat brackets. The stock Recaro sliders put the 00 Cobra R's I have way too high in the car so that my helmet hits the headliner. With my Recaro shell, I took out the sliders, and fabricated some mounts directly to the floor. Dropped me WAY lower. I can barely see over the cowl of the car and I'm 6'1" tall.

Justin...I actually fit fine in my car with the Cobra R's mounted on the stock recaro sliders. I wasnt too high and had no issues when wearing my helmet. I'm also short (5'7-ish) so that helps too i guess

I know how you're an advocate for halo style seats ...I found a killer deal on a used Sparco Circuit Pro and I'm suppsoed to meet with the guy at lunch today. If it fits me I'm taking it! i just wish it were the FRPP one with eth Ford Racing logo on it

Do you feel too cramped because the seat is for slim people, or because the design of the bolster/halo?

***I just got back from checking out the used Sparco Circuit Pro. It was pretty worn and didnt fit very good. Sucks, because I was hoping I'd like it and finally have a seat

The seat used to be WAY narrow for me (I used to be a 40" waist), but I dropped 60 lbs, which puts me in a 34" waist and his seat now fits, but it's tight. Tight but doable. The issue is the room below the halo for my shoulders. It's not nearly tall enough for my body type. If you're interested I'm sure he'd let you try it on (again - Modesto). Let me know?

I tried looking into safecraft seats but they're no longer in the seat business. Sucks, because they're local so it'd be nice to go there and try them out.

How're your seats mounted? Adjustable sliders or fixed into the floor? Did you custom fab anything?

---

Bummer about Safecraft.

I've been outta work again so I've been put to work on house projects and such.

The previous owner came up with the setup. They are fixed, box tubing acting as rails that has flat tabs in the front to use the OEM seat mounting point. The tubes extend all the way to the bulkhead where a flat mount with tabs was put on the end for bolting to the bulkhead. the seat rails sit little higher than the Griggs frame kit allowing mounting points on either side for halon system and accusump.

front mount


Rear mount (bulkhead/halon bottle)

Looks like some major fabbing went into that mount. I'm looking for something a bit easier . Dude, you've GOTTA sell me that car! that thing looks like it'd be so damn fun to drive on the track!
