steve dray Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 HI guys, Just trying to decide on some new seats for the anglebox, quite like the look of Kirkey aluminium seats, Does anybody have any first hand experience wih these, I mean I know they are light, but could they be used in a road car? Could you do a 200 mile journey in one and still be able to walk afterwards?? Thanks
KJ 1320 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Yes m8 with the foam lined cover on them they're not that bad
Trevmk3 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 was gonna say i could probably do it with the aid of sitting on a cushion
FlashCadillac Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 My mate big al.... you might have seen his truck? white 1950 chevy stepside with blue and purple flames on the front anyway.... as his name sugests... he's big he has some removable cusions made for them and says theyre great on long jurneys...
steve dray Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 Cool, sounds good, are they base mounted or side mounted ?? Would defo get covers for them as I would imagine in the summer they might burn your ass !!
KJ 1320 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 They come undrilled Steve so you can mount them anyway you want
steve dray Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 Nice one thanks, just need to find some cheap ones
KJ 1320 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Nice one thanks, just need to find some cheap ones good luck!
kevmk2 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Just stick with some Sparco seats, like Revs or Corsa's or Evo's they are quite comfortable on a run ( well around 120 miles journey )
lee337 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Nice one thanks, just need to find some cheap ones have a look on www.nfr-racewear.co.uk in the fabrication section, they make there own kirkey type seats for oval racing.
82bob Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 i use one in my oval racing lightning rod, and was actually fitting one into a car today they are definetly comfy enough although i must say i have never done two hundred miles!
steve dray Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 Just stick with some Sparco seats, like Revs or Corsa's or Evo's they are quite comfortable on a run ( well around 120 miles journey ) Yeah my other choice is the sparco sprint 5, they look like a good budget seat and FIA approved so must be quite good, although I haven't sat in one yet!!
macleod861 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 try randall motorsport aswell kirkey seats from £90
