Hello. So as I am creating my mod path for the tC I keep ojn coming up with questions. So here is another one.

Has anyone put sport seats in their Scion tC?

If yes can you please post pictures of it? Lots of pictures!

Also what did you use to mount the 4 point harnesses???

What about sliders? mounts? brackets? and ease of installation?

Thanks!

 

If I am not mistaken, I think that our seats are refered to as "sport" seats. The seats I think you are trying to refer to are race seats. Just to let you know though, unless your planning on doing some racing or other potentially dangerous driving, i would not reccommend a 4 point harness. They are a pain in the a** to put on and off, regular seatbelts are way easier to use. trust me, after a while you'll eng up just using the lap belt beause you dont want to deal with the other 2 straps, and thats less safe than the factory setup.

 

factory belts with race seats? wouldnt that be a bit.. tacky?

 

Well, It'd be nice if there's more side support, or the cool ones from BMW and MB, with active side restraints that pushes up when you turn one way or the other

 

I'm looking for some nice sparco seats maybe and I wouldnt mind the harness every time. My friend has an M3 and he wears his harness all the time no problem. Id love to do that! Still looking for anyone that has done it!

 

These are the seats I'm looking at:

Or I might go with the Milanos if I decide I want the angle support

 

i'm saving up for some dc5 red jdm recaro seats.

 

and you dont think its tacky to have racing seats in your car if you dont do any racing?

 

what type of seats did he put into his M3? From my experience with my last ride, which was a truck, I hated putting on the harness everytime, it was a pain.

 

racing seats are not comfortable at all.

 

I'll second that one

 

the ones i want are.

 

are they race seats, or deep sport seats? Could you link me to a place so that i could see which seats you are reffering to? I think what a lot of people are confused about is the difference between racing seats, and deep sport seats. To me, this is a racing seat....



and this is a deep sport seat....



which one of these seats do you guys refer to as "racing seats"?

 

doesn't that create a huge blind spot?

 

When your racing, hence the name "racing seat" I would assume your more interested in what is going on in front of you rather than behind you. But since I have never raced, I wouldn't know this for sure.

BTW, the purpose of the wrap around in the head area is to keep your head from getting bashed around in a crash, or while driving around at a bazillion miles per hour.

 

i want these.... http://www.aj-racing.com/Products/JD...5/DSCN3963.jpg

 

here's another link to them.... http://www.prelude-fan.de/pics/integra02r_11.jpg

 

yep....what he said.

 

Those to me are sport seats, and look pretty cool.

Bambam notice how in both of the pics that rsxfreak linked me to they have the regular belts instead of the 4 points. Theres a reason for that, 4 pts are a pain.

 

yeah they have the regular belts cuz those seats come stock on the type R's in japan. i am planning to get a harness as well but mostly just for show. and i am planning on getting takata harness.
