Just completed installing Momo Daytona Safari seats and feel compelled to express my appreciation to BTWDRIVER and MA. I could not have done this without the great write-up by BTWDRIVER ( http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/interior/1051-how-installing-aftermarket-seats-r56-motoring-alliance-exclusive.html).
Nice job. I can see how the top of the seat would protect your head, but do they make it hard to see right and left? Jim
JEALOUS---JEALOUS---JEALOUS Realy nice. The steering wheel and other red trim sets your interior apart from others Mark
LOL I was thinking the same thing. Unless it is a dedicated track vehicle. Either way very cool seats enjoy .
No - but remember you buy seats to fit you. My horizontal line of vision is just below the "seat ears". A driver with a taller torso would have a problem and would probably need the XL version with is wider and taller. The biggest problem in "over the shoulder vision" is the harness not the seats -- on the street we lean forward and twist to look over our shoulders. With a harness there is no leaning forward and there is no twisting. With OEM seat belts where you can lean and twist there is a learning curve but no big problem. Purchased them here : MOMO SAFARI Racing Seat Blue or Red FIA-2010 I was trying to buy Sparco but their customer support was terrible. Momo on the other hand was excellent and Louis Boustanil at LTB Autosports was a pleasure to work with -- knowledgeable, great service, fast (free) shipping! Buy seats carefully, sizing is everything -- Most regular seats are too small for many people!
That looks really cool. So does this car see manly track only, or does it serve as a DD as well ? Any plans for a harness bar ? I really wish i could buy seats right off of the shelf, but my fat-arse requires special sizing.
You should have seen the grin on my face when I started the MINI up and the air bag light quickly disappeared! Thanks again!
