Turbo Mini Forums

hi all, just after a general opinion? if you have a squiz at my car in the 'show me yours' section you probobly can see i'm trying to go for an oldschool road racer look for my car, my interiour is stripped bare & will be getting a 6-point cage soon

my question is what seats should i go for as i'm really unsure

i will be using harness's but this is 'my daily driver' so im after a old style seats that are good on the track but has comfort for everyday use

Definitely recliners for a daily driver

I stand corrected. You should know

My mini has Monaco's in it, and i've been using it for the last month and a half every day. Love it!

My proper car (when it gets back from the paint shop) has normal seats though.. so thats probably no help at all

Depends what style you want. Recaros are always a good option as they're the best of both worlds.

rover 800 turbo 1/2 leather recaros. they have the lumbar supprt and everything. i paid £80 from scrappies and i run harnesses with mine.

so for a daily driver, recliners seem to be the seat of choice, i think thats how i'll be going then (this was my initial thought)
i just need to nail the old fashioned/oldschool/retro/MOD look now

1071s i like the xjs seats its just that they are heavy, i think they have an oldshool feel to them that i like

i like the old 60's cooper recliners but they are to pricey

!!!!so i need recliner comfort with cobra/corbeu classic looks any ideas!!!!





cheers guys, the mini city seats i have are actually falling to pieces by the day, i'm taking bits of foam,metal & covering out of the car each day 'they are well and truely shot'

Ive got the classic buckets, have sat in them and are very comfortable, not actually got them in my car yet though.

another vote for recaro's over here aswell. got some from a mk1 gte in mine and they're dead comfy, they do weigh more than the moon tho.

how much does the moon weigh bud???????

hi, i've been to my local scrapper and found some cracking seats from an alfa romeo, recaro style, they are from a 1976 car, one problem, they are a sickley sky blue leather & mildly scuffed, where can i get leather dye to recolour the seats, i'd like them to be cream but because they are blue i'll probobly have to do them black!
£50 the pair does this sound any good?
