Sparco seat install? Help ASAP

97blackout · Sep 16, 2009

Has anyone ever installed a sparco seat into their 79-98 mustang? I just got my $600 worth of parts in and I can't seem to figure out how the damned thing hooks up. Oh and they forgot to send me my fucking bolts to install it, along with the track set, so now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to install it using the factory hardware for th time being, is that possible?

Leave it to Handz to add a completely useless and irrelevant post with a picture of his non-race seat.

Well I was able to connect the front two bolts to the seat and three bolts to the frame, it seems to work for now until I can call sparco tomorrow on where the fuck my other parts are.

I bought all my Sparco Equipment from Subysports.

To mount my Sparco Fighter I used 94-98 Driver side Sparco seat mount, Sparco Universal sliders, and Sparco hardware kit.

I had to bend the seat adjustment bar to clear the hump in the floor pan and i needed to shim the seat up with 2 washers just so it cleared the door panel a little better.....other than that, it bolted up in stock location.

i bet handz looks like a granpa driver in a stiff seat going nowhere fast in his stock npi shifting his tko. only compliments he gets is when he polishes a turd. im with paul.

You need to buy a Sparco Flat seat bases. P/N: 400SB029L. That part gets installed to the floor, then you install tracks onto that and then seat on top. PS. here is how you cockblock Handz

real racecar drivers build their own seats

Just the new r100, red/black. I'm on a suuuper tight budget and probably shouldn't have even bought the seat in the first place. But I broke the spring on the track set on the passenger side and I just decided hell why not.

Dunno about that, some guy at the local track has a 77' marquis wagon with the original bench with a 6 point harness, runs 10.4s

. I honestly just went for a more "User friendly" approach and bought mach 1 seats(or cobras). They have GREAT side bolsters, they keep you planted good, AND they are very comfy on long trips. Considering I drive friends around alot in my car, racing buckets would be weird.

On a Side note, Handz car is Stock?!?! I seriously thought he had AT LEAST a PI swap in that thing...
