    Nice job. :Thumbsup: I can see how the top of the seat would protect your head, but do they make it hard to see right and left?

    LOL :Thumbsup: I was thinking the same thing. Unless it is a dedicated track vehicle. Either way very cool seats enjoy :Thumbsup:.

    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!
