if you like uncomfortable, hot and slippery eats then go for it. Pulsar seats seem to be a goer by some people or some of the other racing seats. biggest problem is space to fit them and the mounting of them. Do a bit of a search as there's quite a few threads with a variety of different seats used

swift GTI seats are easily adapted with some ally tabs on the rails. its a tight squeeze but can be done in a weekend if you gots da toolz.

Skippy still exists.... amazing...



As for the seats besides width make sure if going racing bucket style seats that you watch for the shoulder supports also as they usually are too big or come very close to the b pillar..

Toyota Paseo seats ( not sure what year ) are comfortable, good fit and not too difficult to fit...

VT Commodore seats fit you have to re-drill the base for the suzuki rails (fitted to the farm hack LWB)

with a bit of fiddling honda prelude seats fit but the rails need some custom work to work correctly (i fitted them to hilux/serria buggy im building) as well the honda seats are really well bolstered and comfy to sit in all day

cheers hope it helps if i go to the farm on the weekend i will snap some shots of the commo seats

wow - i thought you were like, dead or something =)

but back on topic:
im using generic race seats in mine - vinyl wrapped and a steel frame under the padding, so the supports dont flop about like the foam only ones... theyre very comfy and a bit of water doesnt really bother them.
