hahahahahahahha...SPG fit me like the Vios III. It felt a bit bigger, but not much. I liked it a lot, but couldn't deal with the door and glove compartment rubbing.

I won't post my dimension, cause I don't know if I fit in it yet.

1)Bride Zeta III (with Bride FX FIA cert rail, doesn't slide)
2)81cm
3)176.5cm
4)65kg

I unfortunately have zero tracks to drive on here on Guam (though they are in the process of building a motorsports park with full circuit...maybe 2010), so can only do auto-x, but this seat is also my daily driver, pulled them from my old Teggy R I had in Japan. For me much more comfortable than the stock seats, just as they were more comfortable than the Recaros that came in the Teggy. The other nice part of having them...weight savings.

Good gawd - only vertically-challenged people race? I'm 6'4", 240 lbs., 40" waist (moderately fat 'Murican). Maybe it's a good thing I autocross.

BTW, there was a comment above that certain non-racing seats would be legal for autocross but it should be noted that they wouldn't be in stock class.

Thanks, Gerry. I meant to ask to sit in it last time I saw you (at MSR, I think).
I wonder if the Rev has exactly the same fitment as the Evo. It appears that Sparco doesn't make the Rev any more, but their website says the Evo is based of the Rev design.



Also, I'm about to derail my own thread a bit here, but I'm just curious:
Do most of you W2W guys keep the OEM passenger seat in case you need to give somebody a ride-along, or do you sell it and buy a cheap race bucket for the pass side, too? I figure there will be a period of time where I will still have instructors riding with me frequently even after I install my cage, so I'm wondering if I should keep the OEM pass. seat and 3-pt, or if I should go ahead and get another (probably used) race bucket and put in a harness for it, too.

I don't know of anyone in a non-Showroom Stock class who runs with a passenger seat. It's extra weight, opportunities to carry a passenger are few and far between, and it potentially interferes with other items you want on the right side of the car -- the kill switch, fire suppression system, cool suit and/or forced air blower, ballast, etc.

^ No, I didn't mean to leave it in the car while racing... I just meant keeping it handy in case you know you're going to have a passenger (either you're instructing in your car or giving charity ride-alongs or having an instructor ride along with you on a new track or something).
