S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

Default Black and yellow aftermarket seat for CR?

Was thinking about getting an aftermarket driver seat in order to :
- save my OEM seat from wear and tear
-save weight
-have better support while driving

Some?'s
Are there any aftermarket seat out there that kinda matches the CR seats?
What seat rail would I need?
Would it set off any dash lights?

I dunno much about seats
any advice is appreciated

Thanks

Recaro makes or made the Tomcat version. Perfect match. Not sure if you can get the fabric/style custom on other versions of the Recaro's. I have sat in this style seat in 4-door sedans and its an awesome seat, but it wont fit in the S2000 I dont believe.

I like the CR seat better than that one and it is probably just as heavy
I'm looking for a lightweight bucket seat

Custom tomcat/alcantara pole position covers have been on my radar for a while. Tomcat fabric is tough to find though . S4play's custom pole positions are sweet too, check his thread.

Get a custom upholstered Recaro like Rick has.
The Recaro Pole Position feels soooo good in the s2000 compared to OEM seats.
I wouldn't be too concerned about saving weight on the S unless you are going to gut your interior, and are racing professionally with the goal of shaving seconds off track times. I would focus on cosmetics if you are going to run a full interior.

Here's some pictures of the Recaro Tomcats mentioned above. Supposedly a tight fit and good for people that are 5'8" and shorter.

Here is the image I was looking for previously:

If anyone come across some of that fabric for sale let me know, I've been looking since December. Since those seats have been out of production for a while Recaro no longer has the fabric in stock apparently

If I ever find the fabric I'll just be replicating CR seat covers on pole position buckets. I have a feeling that would look pretty sweet.

tbh the yellow interior is my least favorite part of this car, but if I had to i would redo the recaro's like s4play did
