Title: Bigger seats for FD3...
Post by: suba on March 08, 2009, 10:28:20 AM
I\'m not sure if this is in the right section of the forum, so apologies if it needs to be moved.

I have owned a 95 fd3 for arounf a month now, with the \'carbon effect\' seats.  I\'ve noticed that whilst the back of the seat is fine for me, the actual \'seat\' section pinches on my hips/Ar*se.  The passenger side seat does not for some reason.

I can\'t remember the suede seats being like this on others cars that I test drove - are they different seats rather than different finishes?

I\'m quite a big chap - 6ft2 and 16 stone or so.  I\'ve sat in a mazda speed seat whilst visiting super7, which fitted me perfectly.  Are there any other different seats which I could look at buying that dont cost the earth (money is going towards tuning and making sure the car is mechanically perfect from the off.)

Thanks.:yes

Probably just the wear on the drivers seat, probably collapsed a bit. Try getting a standard seat that isn\'t so old.
