I just got a used Brix II since my car is a daily driver. It is very comfortable and worth every penny I paid for it

ALTRNTV · 05-29-2005, 03:01 AM

I'm geting the Chargespeed buckets. Should be here next week.

chmercer · 05-29-2005, 11:39 AM

^^^ you sure that isnt a knockoff? the stitching on the center pad looks a little crappy.

Dousan_PG · 05-29-2005, 11:49 AM

norm doesnt buy knockoffs
its the real deal hollyfield.

so many faggots ask if bride seats are knockoffs
some jackass though my Zeig one is
and recently someone asked if my MAXIS was. hahaha..fucking morons

sideview_180sx · 05-30-2005, 12:32 PM

i thought norm was doriftomodachi??

The Hamsterball · 05-30-2005, 03:23 PM

hrm.. Norm, you got a bride seat now?

Geez... haven't seen your car in a while. Last time i've seen it was "up there" last year in fall.

Well, if you guys are going to cheap out on seats, I would suggest getting Sparco Speed or Sparco Sprint.

Sparco speed is actually replacing the discontinued sprint, but they're not the same seat.

I'm really slim, 5'8'' and 29'' waist, and I found that when I tested out the Speed vs. the Sprint, the speed was tighter and fit me better, where as the sprint was for wider users.

Other than that, for some odd reason, even though the butt support looked different on both, they felt almost the same (With the exception of the speed fitting me better).

And they're both around $250-280 (probably a little less for Sprint if you find any) for the seats.

On top of that, if you want a seat that will hold you down extremely well, these two seats are non-reclinable.

Question:
I haven't ever sat in a bride, only have seeen them, and noticed every single one I've seen is reclinable.

Are they just really really comfy seats (i know they are) that hold decently (better than stock of course, but not the best)?
Or does the fact that they are reclinable not matter at all?

I was just curious..

OptionZero · 05-30-2005, 05:32 PM

there are bride buckets, just google for any store that sells brides.

I had one in my EK, and my bro has one in his S14, im pretty sure hes got wedge racing brackets, they sit a little higher than stock but im 6'2 and had just enough room to get it in with a helmet on. As for the seat, its nothing special in terms of comfort, I can see it getting annoying after maybe like 3-4 hours of driving, but its one of the better seats for the price because it has a molded shell, unlike the sparco sprint or speed ( tube steel frame )

SilviaBoston · 05-31-2005, 01:53 PM

Dose anyone have or know where to get 5zigen racing seats?

thx247 · 05-31-2005, 06:53 PM

I have a momo rookie (aka "Start"), its a bottom mount seat and I have no idea how it will fit in a 240. It needs the kidney pad and the leg padding to be comfortable, there is a slight bump in the bottom of the seat which I find uncomfortable after a hour in the seat due to how it mounts in a miata (slightly offset). Some memory foam would fix that problem though. My shoulders are about 20 inches across, and are a little too wide in the seat, my right shoulder gets a bit sore after a day at the track from shifting. Waist width is fine, I'm a size 34 and I fit comfortably. Seat weight is 14lb, fiberglass construction. It doesn't bend but its a low end seat so I wouldn't expect great things from it in an accident. FIA rated. I think they are like $250 bucks maybe 300?

i want a passenger brix

*revat619* · 06-01-2005, 01:25 AM

sweet! cant wait to see it!

I'll find a zeig one of these days...
After sitting in brian's car, i was sold. So much nicer than zeta III.

sideview_180sx · 06-01-2005, 01:47 AM

if you can't pick up a zieg. sparco circuit. I wont even mention recaro since the closest equal seat has a cost over $500 more then the sparco. Aaron how much would it take to separate you from that maxis haha. unless you know someone with a maxis or a zieg already.

Dousan_PG · 06-01-2005, 11:24 AM

mm i'd separate with it for a ZEROS
or a ridiculous amount of money

ALTRNTV · 06-03-2005, 04:07 PM

Just got these in last night. Brackets are coming in nect week. I just need to decide on which harnesses to use. Hhmmm...

I have a momo streetracer in my s14 and it fits me fine got it super cheap and is a hell of alot easier to get out in and out of. Not the best for hardcore track use but has sufficient bolstering and great lateral support without having to squeeze into it.

BOMEX180 · 06-03-2005, 10:21 PM

Let see....

Bride PROS:

Cheapest of all Bride buckets. Cushion is a bit thin. Red leather is a bit pale, like pink. FEels like an ordinary bucket seat to me. Not good in summertime becuae of the material

Bride Zeta 3:

True holding monster. ITs kind of hard to get out of the car. Seats very nice but my back starts to hurt after an hour drive. I would get them again. Seats low.

ChargeSpeed carbon kevlar bucket:

Has more cushion than Bride, some people like it better the Bride because of it. Shoulder bolsters hit the door panels even with an FG type bride rail all the way to the center of the car, the seat still hits the door panels. Seats higher than Bride Zeta, almost like stock height.

Bride GIAS:

Still waiting. Should be in 3 weeks

christ dude cool out, picture is small so its hard to see the details. was just wondering since the stitching on the center pad looks crooked.

i got this, measurements are supposed to be the same as spg racer, and its got fia shit, so we shall see. gets here in a couple days.

*revat619* · 06-04-2005, 03:17 AM

wow, that looks pretty cool! The leg bolsters are nice and high. Definitely looks to be a quality seat. Let us know how it turns out!

Zen S14 · 06-04-2005, 08:42 AM

I have the Momo club GT seat. It is comfortable for a none reclining bucket. The bottom is a little hard for long trips though. It holds excellent, both for autox and the once I drifted the car.

The advantage is that I was able to use momo aluminum universal brackets, adapted to the stock 240sx rail. The seating is slightly higher than stock, but you can slide it back and forth like a stock seat.

here is a picture from an online store.

BOMEX180 · 06-04-2005, 08:48 AM

That RS seat, looks like the suede material was just put on there, I can see the cut edge of the material.

chmercer · 06-04-2005, 11:04 AM

thats possible, but for 500$, i dont really care, haha. ill get some closer up pics later when i actually have it in my posession.
