Porsche seats (front AND rear) or corrado seats?!

[Horney]

Where do you race?

Nick doesn't race, that's his other old Golf that does that  .

He does track days, at places like Castle Combe and Silverstone etc.

Yeah what he said. Wish I could afford to race though.

Ahh maybe it wasn't yours then. Wish I could afford it too!!! One day...

Soooo back on topic, is the general consensus corrado seats then? Are they better than mk3/4 recaro seats? Or any other suggestions?!

[Horney]

Mine can be seen here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=116206.0

I dunno if the Rado ones are better but they do slide straight into a MKII (well in the front anyway) so they're the best of the easy options.

Yeah good point. I noticed you had a track mini too? I've had 3 classic minis as well

[Horney]

Mini's rock! Had it featured in Minimag as well with a 6 page spread, was well chuffed. I've probably had about 10 minis in total and will have another one day. mrs Horney still has a 79 850cc City in near mint condition with 33K on the clock from new.

No they don't, they bounce along at about 45-50mph with the driver clinging to the wheel for grim death, with a fixed glazed stare on their face.

Well, that's my experience of passing them on the motorway anyway.

yeh minis suck!

As for seats. I would fit mk3's. Corrado seats in mk2's look wierd imo

[robz]

what... minis are bloody brilliant!
get the right set up and they are a weapon!!
mine was brill, wish i never sold it!!
think my mini was more comfortable than the golf!!

You're half right mate but mine was bucketed and harnessed up so I was clamped in my seat. It was also pushing 100 bhp but with a short box and a complete cf front end. The suspension was also properly sorted. Used to leave scoobs for dead on a B road blast as long as their weren't any long straights which would tske it over 100 as it would run out of puff at 105.

Flipping awesome car and I miss it badly BUT the Golf track car is nearly as quick and feels very similar to drive.
