Memory Fab seats

[FusionR240sx]

anyone rocking a mem fab seat?
R98 Reclinable one to be exact? just wanted to see a pic of it in a car or how comfy it was.

also what rail u used

[Ian]

Yeah i'm interested in hearing about these too

[viscid240]

Well for the price I would not expect much. Although it does look comfy and very plush.

[DOOK]

someone post a link to these seats, all I can find are dead links.

I too would like to know. They look nice.

I have a problem with my stock seats. I'm a tall ass guy so my legs don't rest right so on longer drive my leg starts to hurt...

[The Island]

i did a search for them, and i read that they are not FIA approved. Does this mean that they can not be used for drift days and hpde?

[Edgar]

that bucket is look pretty sweet

[nevaland9]

ive got a set...the S58 and large S58 the car isnt on the road yet but theyre comfy..they dont sit as up right as my REV did but i think it will be more comfortable for street driving.

No, they will be fine for drift day and HPDE. Even BRIDE seats aren't FIA approved.

[The Island]

^nice. thanks for the info. those memory fabs look great for the price.
so does anyone know what kind of rails you're supposed to use?

[fromxtor]

^^ Hmm I'm going to read up on that, I wouldn't want to get stuck in the situation where I've driven all the way to a track and fail tech inspection.

They do look nice though, I also like the look of the F1spec seats.

[DOOK]

depends on which model BRIDE, they make some that are FIA approved

[pr0ject TRUENO]

Buddy Club, Signal, Chargespeed, etc aren't FIA approved either. That's not stopping people from running them at events.

[!Zar!]

No, they will be fine for drift day and HPDE. Even BRIDE seats aren't FIA approved.

Wow.

Stop spewing filth.

My BRIDE seat is FIA approved. Some of their seats are approved but not all. You just need to do your research.

But for the level of most drift events, any seat is fine.

Just wanted to clear up misinformation.

[Ian]

If the seat is not FIA approved, you need to have a backbrace built in to your rollcage in case of rear collision so the seat back doesn't collapse

[FusionR240sx]

the seats do look comfy as hell.

nevaland9 - what rails are you going to use? there rails on the site look pretty low but they don't have any prices for the low position sliders.

[Sir]

Fusion, stop by TF, I was there and they had one sitting there. IIRC it was going in HandsomeRob's car.

[FusionR240sx]

Fusion, stop by TF, I was there and they had one sitting there. IIRC it was going in HandsomeRob's car.'

when was that? did he have the bucket or recliner?

it's either these or the black wide version of the buddy clubs... just sold my leathers.

[Sir]

I was there last week, thr/fri, don't recall.
It was a recliner, had a tirangle knob thingy.
sat in it. but my ass is too big for it. So I have to go with BC Wide or some Sparcos. Its on the list among lots of other things.

[DOOK]

buddy of mine just put those F1spec seats in his RSX, says they are fairly nice and he loves the brackets. He said he was able to finetune his height and angle with them.

[240trainee]

Those F1spec seats are cheap as hell

I am tempted to buy one to try it out.

[pbcstylez]

do it! tell me how big you are afterwards so i know whether my fatass will fit

[scottie]

The F1 Seats have gotten mixed reviews on the cloth they use. I've heard if you daily the car, the material wears really quickly. May just have been a few bad seats but it was enough to make me stay away.


As for the Memory Fab seat above. I dont know if this will make a difference but they share some material parts with the STATUS seats since they come from the same facility. This doesnt mean by any stretch of the imagination that these are FIA approved like STATUS but as far as the cover material and some other pieces, they are the same as you find on STATUS. Found this out today when i called them to see if they can match the Alacantra material on my STATUS seat lol!

[rewind]

according to f1 the type 1&2 are good up to a 40inch waist. type 3 up to 34inch.

[nismostate]

what about the corbeau fx1 pro or fx1? prices at soloracer seem reasonable.
http://www.soloracer.com/raceseats.html

[FusionR240sx]

any1 got pics with the mem fab recliner or bucket installed and what rails/sliders did u use?

[turtl631]

I'll have a S58L bucket soon for passenger seat. Just gonna make fixed brackets and mount it as far back as possible before it hits my roll bar. Can post some pics once I get it. Are there any chicago 240 meets anymore? You could see it sometime if they have one. And we both show up.

[articdragon192]

F1 Spec seats are kinda flimsy.

[axiomatik]

I wouldn't trust any cheap seats to not buckle/break in an accident. Don't choose seats on price alone.

yea theres a meet 2morrow, but it's my b-day 2morrow so i don't know if i'm for sure going.miami woods in niles

[JDM Kid 510]

Memory Fab > F1Spec.

I have 3 seat from memory fab. Two S58 and One S68. Very comfortable.

So thump up to memory fab.:bigok:

[turtl631]

yea theres a meet 2morrow, but it's my b-day 2morrow so i don't know if i'm for sure going.miami woods in niles

Oh, damn, I have work. I might try to swing by later on. I didn't get my S58L yet though, so its irrelevant to this thread.

Thakns for the pic, nevaland- perfect comparo between regular and large S58.

[codyace]

Honda guys love Memory Fab seats, and Memory Fab even offers the S68 and 58 in FIA cert if you need it

[idriveattz32]

the mem-fab seats seem to be a great deal, and like codyace said, for an extra fee they can be ordered with fia approval (which may give you an insurance discount)...i've looked at these versus the f1specs and i'd choose the me-fabs just because they seem to offer more in the way of convience (washable covers = sweet) and i too have heard problems with the flexing in the f1specs.

if i were spending my money i'd get the mem-fabs

[FusionR240sx]

anyone got the recliners with a rail combo that sits low? still interested in pics/info on them if you have them

[turtl631]

I got my S58L, its pretty nice. Not installed yet...its huge! Barely fits width-wise in my S14, I may pound out the trans tunnel to make more room. Seems comfy though, shoudl be good with the harnesses. I'm thin so there's tons of extra room in the seat everywhere. No idea on the R98, but I think buckets are the way to go. Reclinable seats are bulky, heavier, and I think a good bucket is more comfortable.

What size waist are you? I wanted to get the reclinable but I think Im too big at a 36.

[FusionR240sx]

the recliners are the big ones... i think they're good for like 32-40"

[1320_power]

those seats are nice! now i am debating on whether to get these or the seibon carbon kevlar ones.

[pbcstylez]

any updates on reclinable + low seating rails?

[FusionR240sx]

any updates on reclinable + low seating rails?

the only update is gona come from me i'm thinking... i'm jsut gona buy them and get mem fabs low mounting rails/sliders

[turtl631]

What size waist are you? I wanted to get the reclinable but I think Im too big at a 36.

My waist is a 30 lol, I'm using this as a passenger seat. I dont like the idea of not being able to have bigger people ride in my car; at the last event I did my instructor was huge, and he would have never fit in a normal size bucket seat. This is insurance against that. My gf has fairly large hips and she fits in there no problem. I think you'd have to be pretty freakin fat to not fit in the S58L. No idea on the regular S58 or the R98.

[a_ahmed]

im very interested in the s58 large seats as well... im a 6'2, 250lbs guy, 40" waist. Totally rocking what these seats are. I wish they made the carbon kevlar s58 large seats heh.. s

[nevaland9]

http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q271/Nevaland9/0723071828.jpg

mad nice CF weave on the memory fabs...kind of too reclined for me but i havnt really messed around with them on the sparco slider yet i just threw them in as low as they can go.

[turtl631]

The S58L is so big that it doesnt really fit between the trans tunnel and door panel on the passenger side of my S14. Granted, I have it pretty far foward because of the fitment of my 4 point roll bar, but it touches the tunnel and door panel. I'm about 5'11", if you were more than 6'3"-ish id expect your knees to hit the glove compartment. Definitely a great seat for the larger driver. I just bolted it to the floor, if you try to use sliders, good luck getting it low.

take a pic from the side of the car of the "lowness" if u don't mind.

[spock_rocker]

hi guys, i was informed of this thread by a friend, i work for memoryfab and i wanted to say thank you for all the kind words. now on to the good stuff.
the R98 seat is made in the same factory as Imus Vision seats, same materials however ours are considerabley cheaper and we only offer a FRP version right now. unfortunately i dont have any pics in car. oh also the memoryfab logo does not come on the seat unless special ordered. we also offer bottom mount rails for the seat application as well which lower the driver 1-3" lower than stock.
http://www.memoryfab.com/temp/ht/Seatrailcomp.jpg

The S58 and the S68 models are side mount as seen in this thread are made in carbon and we now have kevlar versions as well. The FIA seats we offer are in carbon and are made w/ the same materials and process is the normal carbon / kevlar seats so unless your sanctioning body requires FIA our normal seats will work just fine. The rails offered for the side mount seats will lower the driver postion 3-4" lower than stock. if you have any other questions please feel free to shoot me an email

[email protected] thank you for your time! :bigok:

[ESone3]

i just sent you a email. Do you have any more of the carbon kevalr, yellow weaved seats?

[illvialuver]

yeah i was just shown these seats and the reclinable reminds me alot of the bride lowmax adjustable, but for the price of one bride i could get 2 of these, if anyone has pics of the adjutable on ina s14 i would greatly appreciate. thanks.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

F1spec is crap, they're more flexible then a gymnist.
shouldn't the name be a tip off?
F1spec? made in China...

[dorkidori_s13]

just as an update to this thread...im planning on picking up their R98 reclinable seat (im trying to get my new sony bravia lcd TV paid off right now lol)...i sat in a bride gias not too long ago...and i will say...uve gotta be a bit on the skinnier side to fit the seat...i weigh in around 168-170 and i was sorta snug in the gias

the R98 i believe is built around the same idea as the gias...so i wouldnt recommend it to you heavier set guys...when i get the seat in the car and what not ill take pics and update everyone about what the seat is like

i currently run a bride brix 1 in my s13 and have done for almost 3 years now...so that is my basis for comparison

[SILEIGHTY_DET]

i have the bride gias . im 5'10' and 150lbs , size 32 pant and the seat fits perfect . the memory fab seat was moulded off of a gias . i have sat in the memory fab and it feals almost exactly the same , just the pading isnt quite as comfy .

[Bubbles]

Status seats give me wood.

i'm the same height as you, but i'm 200lbs and a 33/34ish pant.

how do you think i'd fit?

the last thing i wana do is order a seat and have it be made for lil ppl:keke:

mee too
if only i could afford something like that.

[dorkidori_s13]

i went to buy 2 last week so i could sport em in my 240 for formula D's car show (given memory fab is one of my sponsors)...but they were completely out and didnt expect a new shipment til the middle of july

it kinda sucked

[dloong82]

I wanna know why the red seats cost $85 less then the black seats

it would be a little tight . unless thhe weight is all in your upper body . i wear a 32 pant and i fit perfect . can fit both hands flat between my hips and the seat , but its tight .

[ZX88]

Because less people buy them. dr supply and demand.

eyehate was making this harness bar and had a memory fab seat lurking on the side.

i was gonna scoop one of these up, but a sparco pro seat fell in my lap

[Icy13]

Was wondering about what was said about 6'3" hitting th glove box in this seat. Since the seat is lower than stock, why would you say there is less room? Do they not slide as far back?

Sorry if this is rather noobish, I just didnt understand what was being said, seemed counter intuitive to me.

That wouldn't be a seat problem. That would be a seat rail/slider problem.

[dorkidori_s13]

im still curious if the R98 fits bride bottom mount rails (that you would use for a brix)...given i dont feel like buying a different rail

im still waiting for memoryfab to get a new shipment of the seats in so i can pick one up

yea i want 2 R98's in red.
but not if they don't fit good.

and since you're sponsored by them, i'll wait for you to get them to see what the deal is with fitment and what sliders/brackets should be used for best seating.

itll happen one day...i swear lol :bite: ;)


but as of late...ive really been eye ballin JICs seats (and the bride euro)...so many seats...so little time/money lol ;)

[jh3xp]

Do they still make the S58L? Because I don't see it on their site.

[dynamicck]

I've heard a few stories during accidents, cheap seats bottom mounting points break, and the driver was thrown around.
The bar/brace behind the seat only helps if the driver seat falls backwards. And if the bottom mounting points break, it could slide under the bar/brace.

Remember how many damn people have to run hood pins on their carbon fiber hoods? Cause if they didn't, the hood would rip open and slam into the windshield?
It took a LONG time for quality carbon fiber hoods to come out, so you didnt have to run hood pins. Except their are no "bucket seat pins, holders, braces" that will save your ass when you seat breaks.

Will it break backwards? sideways? in half? splinter into my a-hole? who knows how the seat will break, but without a quality inspection, you won't know.
Cheap seats are useless, can cause more harm then you think.


Edit: referring to cheap seats w/o FIA like F1

[RPS13-604]

Bride Zeta III very comfortable!

[turtl631]

I have no idea, but I have one that has been sat in for maybe 4 hours total, and if I could find a stock S14 seat or another bucket to replace it I wouldn't mind selling it. I'm in Chicago too...PM or email me if you're really interested in getting one.

g35 leather seats from a junker can be had for 500$ ... with the rears...

seat brackets is another issue, but reasonable enough to tackle.

[BillWatcher]

I am same size as you 5'10 200 32/33 pant, I have the non-recliner seat and it fits good, wide enough that your shoulders are not pushed forward and there is not a uncomfortable amount of pressure on your lats like some.
this is how it sits in mine with my own brackets, I made two different settings, high and close like that or real low. Materials cost around 15 dollars and a day to get everything to line up.

the buckets are side mount i believe...most reclinables tend to be bottom mount

my review on the seat...here we go...first off the seat is pretty damn decent...not quite bride quality (im a bride hoor...sorry)...the carbon kevlar work is super clean though...its not nearly as snug a fit as the bride gais...which is actually a GOOD thing (need room to move around at times in the leg area...especially when getting my wallet out of my back pocket)...the cloth is fully removeable and washable/replaceable (memoryfab sells replacement cloth covers)

my seat sits a little high right now...its driving me nuts...but its because im using a bride MO rail...i recommend if you buy this seat, you purhcase a bride LOW MAX rail (for use with the stradia, gais and cuga seats)...the low max rail will drop the seat almost 2 inches lower than the MO rail will allow for...there are some fitment issues with the plates on the MO rail as well...took a whole lot of massaging to get it to fit right...but im going to be ordering a low max rail next week...so that should change things a bit

do i recommend this seat...TOTALLY...its comfy...its easily affordable...its SUPER clean...nothing loud about it...it holds like a bucket does...and did i mention its comfy??? ;)

[Unvevo]

Those seats look nice! But is that not dangerous mounting your harness at the bottom of the seat?

people constantly ask me this...the belts are bolted to the floor...the car is not made for competition...and i REALLY dont feel like putting a harness bar in...its low key and i still retain my back seat...i run in practice sessions at local events only...so im not worried about it

EDIT: read your post wrong...the seat belt isnt mounted to the bottom of the seat...theres 2 eye holed bolts that are secured to the bottom of the car on the sides...the belts themselves have clasps that latch on to them...i cut small holes in the carpeting for the belts to latch onto the eye holed bolts so again...its fairly low key lookin

I love the carbon kevlar look. I was thinking about picking up a pair of buckets for my car soon. Thanks for the review!

i would not want to use that as a driver seat.

i would not want to use that as a driver seat.

and why is that?

[drftwerks]

looks uncomfortable and looks like it would sit to high.

[dorkidori_s13]

its very comfortable...and it sits fairly low with the correct rail...the bride MO rail isnt made for this seat...i just adapted it to fit for the time being...the low max rail is whats supposed to be used...itll drop the seat another 2-2 1/2 inches from where it is now (which is quite a bit in a 240)

[dorkidori_s13]

ok so the bride low max rail arrived today...im very disapointed

the seat still sits very high in comparison to my bride brix...i havent taken the car out for a test drive yet...but on the initial sit down in the car...i expected it to be quite a bit lower than the old MO rail i had on the brix

also...getting the low max rail to fit the seat is no pretty job...i ended up having to enlarge all 4 holes on the seat AND the rail to make it fit

bottom line is...if youre on a budget and dont feel like spending 1300-2000 on a bride seat setup...this seat will work fine for you...if you want something that fits perfectly and wont give you any shit...save the money and buy a bride gais/stradia with a low max rail

[SoSideways]

Any pics of the new setup?

BTW, is it "high" just in the front like it's supposed to, or do you mean it's still high as in like, overall, the entire thing is still high?

[tougekid]

Damn, im gald i didnt buy it... I'm a big low max whore myself. Was looking for something in my daily.

pretty much overall...its not the lowest seat out there...its a good bang for your buck...but in all honesty im thinking about having another talk with the seat with a drill and some new bolts on the side to drop it down another inch or two

[Saskacer]

So would the bucket seat sit lower than the reclinable one?

[gotta240]

Sorry to interupt....

How "high" was your old bride brix with the regular bride rail? Higher than factory seats or lower?

Thank you.

lower...much lower...when i had my R32 skyline rail (before it was stolen...its no longer made PERIOD)...that thing was SLAMMED low...i miss that rail =(

brides S chassis and BNR chassis rails are the same unit now i believe...they just have two holes on the outer most mount for the chassis bolts
