Looking at buying a Sparco torino 2 reclinable seat

[beeza]

Does anyone know if they are ADR approved?

Can't find any info on thier site or anywhere.

Cheers!

Pretty sure they are FIA approved but not ADR approved :( sucks man, Autotechnica shit seats are but good quality import seats aren't...

I was just reading this:

From Here (http://www.gtroc.com.au/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t266541.html)

"are the corsa adr approved / street legal?"


Hi,

They are not officially ADR Approved however Sparco Australia have paperwork which states that any FIA Approved Sparco seat is eligable for ADR Approval and you should not have an issue with. The Pro 2000 is ADR Approved if you are after one that has been officially approved.

That looks promising?

I just emailed them.

*Patiently waiting*

[beeza]

Yes,they are!

"Hello Brett,

What's your size AntO,I'm 6'1" and 80kg - Tall and skinny :)

[antO]

168-170ish cm, 68kgs :D ur head just should fit under the head rest. As for the width, it would determine the size of your thighs for comfort.(my right thigh is approx 57cm wide)

im sure theres a blue spacro torino seat for sale on the sale thread for 350$ his from melb, if i can remember.

[beeza]

Yes,I'm chatting to akusuma about it! :)

Thanks AntO!

Yeah,I reckon it will be fine by looking at the pitchures of it for ages and from what U and other's have said.

[beeza]

AH!! I didn't understand where U got the 57cm from but it's around your thigh right? :)

Mine is 62cm and my arse is 32cm accross at the rear when I sit down :)

[antO]

Yes 57 is around my thighs
GOODLUCK with it :D, i hoped ive helped!

hehe Danny :)

I was driving less than 1km to work for 4 years.I'm moving house,I'm going bush!! Free rent!! So I got an easy 50km trip there and 50 back.

I'm so sick of being so high,my racing seat (Bride Vios 3) is low and it's bloody awesome compared to being higher.Your centre of gravity is too high!

[Dy_]

beeeeeeeza still looking for the seats?!

[beeza]

Thanks Dy but I bought the Sparko seat of Akusuma.

I just need some rails now :)
