Are they APC? I've seen 'em before and have been waiting to see if they'd fit in a 914.
Good score, cant' wait to see pics after install.

They come in a couple different colors too, right?

I saw Andrew's post this morning and I knew that I recognized that logo. So, I looked it up in my SEMA directory.

The brand is 3aracing. The company is American Auto Accessories. Despite their name, they are a Chinese company.

I looked on their site but gave up on finding this seat because the site is soooo slow. Maybe someone else has more patience.

Those seats look great,
Any idea as to whether they'd be legal for any driver events.
Price is right,but I'd hate to go thru all the expense,and work to get'm in,and then end up being sent home packing,by a tech inspector.

their site is not any slower than any other site i have been to, i have cable and it is almost instant. i cant find the exact seat he bought but they have 5 different models, two look the same just different covers. the only thing i can see wrong is the leg bolsters are not very tall. but this might be because the cushion is tall, but it does not seen taller than a stock seat. and the bolsters not being to tall would be good in a 914. they dont have any info on the seats just 1 pic each. they have one seat that "looks" like it might fit the back pad but there is no way to tell from their site.

btw they have an office in cali, might be able to look at all their seats there

Silly me. I was using Firefox. It is a lot quicker with IE.

Anyway, Andrew's seats are not listed on their site. However, I did find them using SalesHound. But, there are no particulars regarding size, weight, etc. Here is the listing

I see those seats every Sunday in the paper, and wondered if they would be good for the 914. At those prices I could put two in instead of moving the drivers seat to the passenger side and put in a race seat for the driver. I,m gonna check it out too!!!

alright...

Heres what it says...

"constructed around a steel frame" its still light... about as heavy as the stock seat.

Now for black like mine.... You want 25-2705.

I am very impressed with them. Once I find a way to mount them to the stock slider, then I'll be hunky dory!!!

Let me advise you all. they have an interesting front portion.. its like a big bucket that you sit in, and it could be slightly uncomfortable for long trips.. I'll be finding a way to resolve this with some foam... Its like it has no cusion (like if you took off the stock 914 cusion, cut in in half, and left the front half in...)

More pics in a sec.

Andrew

Sorry about the quality, was using my cheepo camera.

I must add that they were on sale for 79 each.. as aposed to 99 each...

anyways. Dad says there probably ok for DE events.. (and I guess in that case Ax too..)

the pic of the problem area (I got a little strong pillow and put in in place, and it "solved" the problem... but I'll make something for it soon...
