Buddy Club seats..

[Jin Kazama]

Hi all
I have some Buddy Club bucket seats on order to replace my stock seats. I know these fit ok normally, but I have a half roll cage and am worried this will cause  problems ie. I will be pushed up against the dash (I\'m 5\'9)?..I don\'t  want to have to remove  the cage. Any help much appreciated.

Hi mate,

i have some buddyclubs in mine....i have had them for a couple of months now with no probs at all, plus i have a border halve cage.
i\'m 6 foot bang on, and i must say....thats the tallest you really need to be to use these seats without having your knees up against the wheel.

heres a pic.



You\'ll be fine!

Only found out they came in different sizes after i bought them :rolleyes: ....but actually i think they are the slimmer ones....i know its a dam tight fit :rollin .
I\'m only 11 and halve stone, so its just about the tightest it needs to be, but using them a bit they have bedded in nicely.

Happ to help man!

Cheers

I got mine for £520 for the pair delivered from //www.rotaryextreme.com

but buddyclub have a uk operation now, and they retail at £600 for a pair, so for the extra 80 quid, you may aswell order them from buddyclub uk.

check out //www.buddyclubuk.com

300 per seat??  That\'s only 50 cheaper bride one !!  
Will keep searching then......

Oh bugger:(, I think I better change my order for a medium then. The vendor asked me how much I weigh and I would hardly call myself a lard arse, but he seemed to think I would never fit  a medium. The large ones measure 508mm across the entire width of the horizontal plane of the seat and the medium is 490mm..for next time you happen to be around your car with a tape measure

Ah, but Buddy Club\'s are a bit more uncommon..

[Dan Norton]

Just measured it mate, but dont reallt know where to measure:confused: ....bottom of seat where you site.??...shoulders from side to side??

Tell me where mate and i\'ll have a look.

You\'re right tho....Buddy club is a bit rarer!

The quality is awesome....and very very light.

Hi Dan
Shoulder to shoulder (ie. the widest part of the entire seat) measurements are 545mm for medium and 585mm for the large. The widest section of the lower half of the seat would be 490mm and 508mm respectively. I emailed Rotary Extreme who I am getting my seats from, asking if they remember what size it was they sent you, but no reply as of yet. Thanks for going to the trouble though mate     BTW did you get stung for vat? Did they take long to arrive?

I\'ve got some Brides in my car.
I\'ll get out the tape measure for dimensions, as they fit well and i\'m a solid 16 stone........better get some carbon fibre bits!! :p

Right, they are deffinatly 545....so medium.

I think if i remember rightly, that 520 figure was including the vat...like a final price.

It took a couple of weeks for him to get it in stock, then about a week to get to mine.

Chuck who runs rotary extreme is a top guy in my opinion....i got my re-amemiya rear diffuser from him, and i ordered my greddy t78, greddy 3 row cooler, clutch, flywheel, fuel system just a couple of weeks ago.
The guys a star, great rpices, and quick delivery....and helps with the import tax

Highly reccomended.

Dan!!

Sorry, it was import tax I meant, not vat. Chuck did say he could do some creative invoicing, but the insurance would have to reflect what\'s on the invoice unfortunately.
Dan, do you think an extra 2cm on each side of the shoulder bolsters would cause problems..?
