can anyone tell me if sparco or omp sliders will bolt up to the factory seat mounting holes in a GTV6?
I just brought home an 83 that's been ran in SCCA events, and need to do something to accommodate my 6' frame, and my co-drivers 5'2" height for autocross events. Pegasus Racing has a current special on OMP seats through the end of the month.
regards,
racing seat mounts?

By approximately 100% safety margin, no.
You would have a hard time getting enough head room with sliders if you are over 175cm tall (think helmet).

Re: racing seat mounts?
I'm looking at the bottom mount OMP TRS seat, I agree about the headroom, that's always a problem. For TT and other events, I plan on using a different, fixed mount seat. Autocrosses seldom exceed 110 km/h.Mats wrote:By approximately 100% safety margin, no.

Re: racing seat mounts?
Switch seats? Serious?
It probably takes me an hour to mount my seat, if it's all prepared. The seat is just about touching the floor in the rear and maybe 50mm of the floor in the front, the groin strap mount is almost touching the seat.
Yes, the rear bolts are a b*tch to get to but needs to be tightened with the seat in place...
Why different seats? Do you actually let other people drive it?

Re: racing seat mounts?
yep, I let a selected group of friends drive it albeit, I'm not planning to allow anyone else to drive it at tt's.
I'll switch seats for higher speed events in order to use a seat with a halo and a fixed mount for higher safety.
