Re: Replacement seats for 101 Giulietta

[Simon Favre <simon@domain.elided>]

Well, it has been done. I used to autocross my '62 Spider a lot, and the
stock seats are little better than a park bench for side support. ;=( I
got some seats from a guy in California who mostly paints cars, but can
get these seats. They are ProCar seats from Scat Enterprises. Scat is in
Southern California, but I don't have their # or address. I had to make
a subframe to mount them to the Giulietta seat tracks, but it wasn't too
hard. The seats have little side curtains that hide the brackets. The
result is a very nice pair of black seats with headrests and side support
for spirited driving. Of course, when I autocross, I pop the headrests
out because they interfere with my helmet. The seats look nice with or
without the headrests. The seats are made in Brazil. The seats were about
$250 last time I checked. The headrest alone on a Recaro will cost you as 
much.

Don't bother doing a web search on "scat" if you've just eaten. =:0
