Pair of Sparco Torino 2 Seats, $650.00 obo
These are real, unlike most of the other seat threads on here and Craigslist!!! The quality shows in the materials and the comfort.

These seats are barely used. They are perfect for the track but work as very comfortable daily seats as well.

Fabric is in almost new condition except for one small rip shown in picture. There is NO WEAR on these seats!! seats are just a little dusty in the pics.

Sliders are off a Jetta, I can find the exact year upon request. The Jetta was Tboned and totaled. So the rails on one of them is tweaked. But the Seat mounts are fine.

You could tweak it back if you want and just have a weld shop modify the Jetta mounts to work in a 240, and not even buy sliders then!! (thats was my plan)

The seats also have a couple cracked and broken adjusters. But these can be purchased from SPARCO if need be. The seats work without them all fine and can be leaned forwards and adjusted. And not all the adjusters are broke either!

Seats go for $600 each to $729 depending on the website.Thats without the VW sliders that retail for over $100 each.

Local pick up please. Both seats are excellent, I just need money for bills unfortunatly. You will need to buy sliders or modify to mount.

About the seats
"One of the most advanced adjustable sport seats (http://zilvia.net/f/#) ever manufactured by Sparco. Anatomic, extremely comfortable and in a refined and modern design. Back rest can be reclined to the millimeter, but features the exclusive QTS Technology (quick tilt system) technology for rapid return to the upright position. It also features a revolutionary contoured injection molded memory foam. Touring car inspired g-force absorbing side bolsters. Perforated abrasion resistant inserts, and a micro-fine recline mechanism.

Fabric: Jacquard Cloth "

I am only keeping this post up at this price for a couple days. Come Monday, if noone is smart enough to buy these, they will be going in my S13 as originally planned.

I dont mind. It would just cost you more.
I'm willing to ship anywhere, but would need to do some sort of paypal deal then.
So you would have to be willing to trust my reputation and I can give you other sellers, and shop owners on here as references.

I do have a guy here in LA thats interested. He saw my Craigslist add for them, and Its posted for $750 there. FYI.

Thanks,

Of course, I trust you. Very impressive photo stream on Flicker! Light control, thats wsup! ;)

I have a verified PayPal address with confirmed shipping address.

How is the width of the seats? Did they come in different back sizes? I have someone that is about to trade me some seats for my wheels but if shipping is reasonable I might just get these and sell the other ones later.

Could you give me a shipping quote for both seats to Gilbert, AZ 85234?

Thanks in advance,
Brandon

I can't get the US Postal site to calculate if right now. and the UPS wants over $300 for both seats, which seams a little high.

The total weight per seat is about 45 lbs with the sliders and mounting.. Width is about 31" max, length is about 31" max, and the hights is about 42" with the brackets and everything.

So Im gonna call in the morning. Or if you can figure it out sooner, cool.

i also have some updated pics in an email i sent out with alot more info.


Here,





Here are a couple more pictures,

So as you see the Drivers in near perfect. The pasenger needs some plastic pieces that are easy yo get from any sparco dealer, here
Sparco USA (http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceguides.asp)
under seats, it says plastic replacement guide

The slider on the passenger also works fine. You could easily tweak it back to perfect. I actually just twisted it a touch and thats why its so straight. Take off the bracket and you could do it easily.

So seats retail at $599 Sparco USA (http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_street.asp?id=195)
Sliders at $59 Sparco USA (http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_acc.asp?id=156)
mounting base at $110 - $175 Sparco USA (http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_acc.asp?id=537) More mounting options under the resourse tab at top of page.

So I am selling 2 seats for the price of one because of few plastic Bezels that need ordered.

Anymore questions, please contact me, or come have a look and sit in them.

Seats are sold. For $675. the guy calling said Sparco will charge $63 for all the replacement plastic Bezels and knobs.
i think he thought it was a barganing point for him, but fuck that.
over $1500.00 in seats for $675 plus $63, pretty damn awsome.
Thay may be used but they were in a DD car that didnt get driven much. And for under a year.

Oh well, Rents paid now, right? lol
