I know this is probably the wrong section but it is the right people and i'm running out of time. :cry:

Has anyone got a pair of bucket seats, fixed or reclining with E30 subframes that they want to sell, they must be black or possibly grey/black and in mint condition. Its a bit of a long shot, but worth a try.

I have a track day booked next week and need something to sit on!!!

Any other advice on where i can get something with E30 fitment at this short notice would also be helpful. :)

I'll post up on another forum for you as most of the Miltek guys have just upgraded there race Cobra Monaco seats to the Cobra evolution- sure there will be some for sale.

If you want a new seat with sub frame cobra can supply them both, Marc Pigeon is the man to speak to.

Have you a contact number? Any idea how long they take to get hold of, because i have about 5 working days left :mad:

May give GP Racewear a call later if i can't get anything else!

If it ends up being a cobra seat i'll drop you a PM about that subframe Liam :wink:

I have the Sport seats and was initially intending to use them, the seat back has always been wobbly and i thought it was just loose. I took the back off to have a look and found the two securing brackets had snapped at the same point! Not sure if it can easily be welded as they are inside the seat and i won't be getting the car back until the weekend to find out.

Its all getting a bit last minute as it all needs to be ready for the track on wednesday night.

There was a guy on here selling some Corbeau seats that would have been perfect but they have sold, so it will probably have to be new ones. Any suggestions as to fixed or reclining for track and a bit of road use?

Checked Ebay mate, a fair few on there but not what i'm looking for, plus its the whole time issue, can't wait for an auction to end and then get it posted, knowing my luck at the moment it would probably go missing :mad:

what sort of seats do you want and what price are you looking to pay?

I have just had a look and there seems to be a fair bit on there.

Here's the link from the page I was looking at, plenty of "buy it now" ones

http://motors.listings.ebay.co.uk/Styli ... ngItemList

Also, when on that page, look at the related searches items, such as Cobra, Sparco etc, just near the top on the left hand side.

Brian.......

I have too little time left, so will probably have to go and buy whatever i can get off the shelf.

Your welcome to contact Liam re. the Cobra subframe.
