Quick thread..
I have a Trackmaster wide from PandaGarage. I figured, that by the time i am ready for some serious track time, The seats would be expired (FIA safety rating), and i would need new ones, so Until then i will be rockin this.(and hopefully lose some weight so i can fit into a regular bucket comfortably by that time as well.) But what i would like to know is, Does this seat Fit with the BRIDE FG seat rails? I know that some wider seats have a problem fitting into rails, but Pandagarage stated that their seats work with the Bride Seat rails. So I just would like a little clairification.

all i want to know is, will it fit? Has some one ACTUALLY used the fg rail with the track wide?

You should just measure the width of the seat, and compare it to the width stated on Bride's website.....

STILL waiting to find out what rails work with the panda track wide seat...
I have measured the seat, turns out the bride rail is too narrow for the track wide. Still searching other manufacturers. I have called Panda Garage, and got little help from them..

I am not trying to Knock their business, they have been great, but would be nice to know what rails i need for their seat.. Without having to figure it out on my own.

Revat619 on here has or had the seat I'm pretty sure.

I think Tommy and Matt from San Diego both have the seat as well...

i have addressed this in the seat thread. The track master wide and the circuit master are a bit too wide for the FG (by about an inch maybe less) so you have to modify it slightly. When i had the circuit master in my car, i did this. If you've seen how people modify R32/R33 seats to fit in S13/S14 then modifying a bride rail will be cake. Its basically the same process. You weld on an extra tab of metal and drill a hole through it, then bolt in the seat as usual. Hope that helps!

So are the panda garage track master seats pretty good for the money($319 on sale)? Of course I am not expecting anything near a brand new bride for the money, but will it hold up alright? The price tag looks so good right now, its got me thinking about buyin one. :)

yes, they're great seats. The quality is excellent and they hold up no problem to serious usage. There's a number of guys who use them for frequent drift events/competitions and they love the seats.
