Sparco replicas?

[huytek]

Hey there

Not sure if this thread should be here but guess ill chuck it here n e way...

Have any of you guys/gals heard anything about sparco replica seats?
Plannin to grab some torino style sparco replicas but duno if they are any good....
I was thinking of purchasing either a cheap but genuine brand pair of seaqs or some replicas...

Any info on replicas?

[panda[cRx]]

safety wise they wouldnt be as good, if you are in a crash i wouldnt be surprised if they snap off the rails or something

[[stealth]]

always better to get genuine over replicas... even if ya havta pay a bit more

[huytek]

yea i knoe replicas arnt the go a head
but price factor u knoe

for the price i can get 1 genuine seat (say 800 or up)..i can get 2 instead

[[stealth]]

how good do these replicas look? ADR approved also?

[panda[cRx]]

is safety really worth the 800 bux or so?

Do Not Risk Replica Seats Period.

these are OBX Torinos, replicas in style but sold by OBX as OBX seats. I'm just not sure if they are ADR approved, havent been able to find out any info about that. I'm interested in the same seats

[huytek]

the ones i am looking at has the sparco logo on them?
is that the one your are also looking at?

[Steer^Gimic]

poid he is not talking about the torino's. these have the same design but have the obx logo on them. the sparco ones are almost identical in looks (def. not structure) even with the logo

[shmivic]

ive had genuine sparcos in my eg before and after about a year or so the structual framework started to crack id say after experience go for something a little better ie; recaro i no they are alot better
and the obx copy seats arent legal dont get caught with them

[poid]

the ones i am looking at has the sparco logo on them?
is that the one your are also looking at?

nah sorry, those i wouldnt touch unless they had gone through the ADR approval process etc.

The price you were talking about is around the price that OBX sells their Torinos, hence my confusion

[garett]

i have heard that those seats are unsafe to sit in, even if the car is motionless snap in half with your weight and enough force, besides the quality sux they look fake and the logo prolly says sparcoe

[tRipitaka]

If you can't afford genuine sparcos, I suggest you keep your stock seats until you can afford them..
Might aswell get it right the first time.. instead of forever buying replacements for the replicas that have broken..

And for not being ADR approved, I assume that they are illegal.. And for being illegal, you can get defected for it..

i thought OBX are RDA approved seats. They are pretty huge in Australia.
