Yeah I've been babying it for the most part. I got 300 miles left!

Now I'm looking into seats already.... Anyone's feedback on Buddy Club?

Right now just seats and a quick release. Later on I'd like to do all black interior.

Do you want the seat for function or just a sporty bucket seat?
The buddy club seats are comfortable but functional wise, they flex a lot compared to other higher end buckets. They also are a bit more slim than most bucket seats. I have the normal size and I'm somewhat broad shouldered and 6'2" and it fits me like a glove...like a surgical glove. But I like that. Overall, I'd say they are a middle of road seat. Not bad but not great

Mostly sporty and comfortable. I'm seriously thinking about doing a couple autocross events this year but I don't need anything legitimate for racing. Its still my daily and most likely won't be a track car. So I'm not really worried about functionality.

I want the Buddy Club or Bride because the grey will match with the interior for now.

oh noes... only overly anal people will care. u could always get something that was not one of the "popular" brands and that was just a good seat. or something out of a dif car if you dont really need a aftermarketone.

That's one thing I never gave a s**t about, and I'm a brand junkie w/ parts. Knock off seats are OK IMO as long as they're safe, and don't break the bank. Oh, and prettifuls and comfy.

^^and the reinforced areas don't tear, and the fiberglass doesn't crack. I think the company is called f1spec or worthwhile that , that tends to make some decent knockoff seats

Yeah that's why I wouldn't mind getting fake ones. As long as they were safe, sturdy and comfortable it doesn't matter. I'd rather use that money for real ones towards wheels or something. I never saw the point in buying REAL expensive seats for simple daily cars.
