Well my question here is if all the racing seats are the same?? I know there are bucket seats made for straight drag that dont move or anything. Then there are some that move but are really thin. The ones I'm askin about are the ones like the TENZO rally seats. I think all the brands have RALLY seats. At HIn i st in a SPARCO rally seat,... oh man... that thing felt so comfortable. IT was just hugging me, it made me feel really safe.

So do all the RALLY seats feel that good? IF so i need to know cuz i have a pretty good hook up w/ TENZO, (i.e. any 18" tenzo rims for $680 biggrin.gif )

As opposed to racing seats, I'd MUCH rather have GTS seats from a 7th gen...cheaper, and look damn good. Bolt directly in too. I don't know much about racing seats like you've showed though.

You're asking if those seats are different? All you have to do is look at the pictures you posted yourself to see that they're different. tongue.gif

I sat in the Tenzo R Rally seats in my friend's Civic and in my other friend's Cavalier, and they are very, very comfortable, and definitely hold you in. They make it much harder to get out of the car, but it's so worth it because the seats are awesome! biggrin.gif

Akimbo, are you sure that seventh generation Celica GT-S seats bolt right in? I thought they required modification to bolt in. wink.gif

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 7th gen seats need modifications to fit.

Ask John(Mynzeyes). He has them.

Oh, my bad, I got confused. wink.gif

Anyway, here's a pic of seventh gen. Celica seats in a sixth generation Celica.

I'm guessing that the Sparco seats that are a similar style as the Tenzo R seats will feel about the same. I'd guess that the Sparcos would be a bit nicer, but I'm not sure. wink.gif

If you do get racing seats please get a color that goes with your car.

i have a pair of the tenzo seats, and they are really comfortable, but i have heard that the color fades easily on them, Sparco seats are another good brand, but for the price, i would stick with the tenzo rallies, which are almost identical to most other "rally" seats
