Recaro Pole Position (ABE) packages to fit NSX!

[Senninha]

And the Recaro in just black leather

Can this be delivered with the small red Recaro logo as per Type S?

Does the cover fit as per the OEM seat to leave the side and back exposed?

If exposed, is the seat material smooth or rough in finish please?

regards, Paul

I'm surprised you've not gone for the type-r ones on prime.

I missed the tired but well priced ones from NZ by half an hour

And I wouldn't pay the money Vance wants at $17k a set

Looks good Bazza.

Is this likely to give any more room than a stock seat with the thin cushion? If so I'm definitely keen. My main concern would be whether the angle of the backrest would force me to be more upright than I am now and actually end up with less headroom. Any chance I could try one out to see how I squeeze in?

And of course it would be good to know whether I can park myself in the seat in the first place!

Nardo Black/Artista Black - £614.50 inc VAT and delivery
Ambla Leather/Dinamica Seude Red - £640.74 inc VAT and delivery
Ambla Leather/Leather Black - £850.75 inc VAT and delivery

Can you explain exactly the make up of these seats.
I'm guessing 'Ambla Leather/Dinamica Seude' means leather sides and seude insert?
What is 'Ambla Leather/Leather Black'? Is that leather look material sides and leather inserts?
What is 'Nardo Black/Artista Black'? Just velour?

Apologies for all the ?'s.

Paul the seat can be had with a small logo on leather, and with stitching, but is a custom order job.

The sides and backs are exposed like in the OEM seat, and they are smooth and black in my seats case. I think they can be had in colours.

The angle of the seat is adjustable so the bracket position will determine the position of them.

I should have my brackets soon and those in the area are welcome to seat in them.

With regards to width and headroom, they are a lot roomier than SPG and Sparco Revs, they should add a few inches to the headroom depending on the position of the seat.

Ambla leather is a plastic leather as found in the interior of the NSX.

Dinamic Suede is artificial suede.

Nardo and Artista are both canvas texture artificial type fabrics, Nardo is particularly attaractive.

I'll do my best Paul, the seat above has Recaro embossed above the eyelets whereas the the Type S has the lettering below the eyelets

The covers leave the FRP showing on sides/back and its a smooth finish.

As Ary has said, the brackets allow the seat to be adjusted to various positions. Tilt more forward or back,

If you imagine the front and rear brackets having 2 eyelets you can have the seat in 4 positions.

Flat high
Flat low
Tilt forward
Tilt backwack

For those who enjoy track driving, if fitting in your NSX with a helmet is on is a challenge (it was for me with the 'R) the cushion insert can be taken out and sitting directly on the shell is possible.

Its not the most comfortable (think how Exige drivers feel!) but it does allow you to enjoy 20-30 mins on track before your arse starts aching.
