detailer Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi, I have a narrow bodied Westfield SE but unfortunately the seats which came with the car are poor (ho headrestraints/move about when driving on track). Does anybody know of some good seats (with some padding) which would suit my car. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippy Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Of little use mate but I am in the same boat, depends on what you want to spend really ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The Westfield padded race seats are available in a narrow version I think. I've got them in my car and they're pretty comfortable for road use, as well as being supportive on track. There is a tendency for the back of the seat to move around though.

Mark Stanton Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Westfield do some supportive seats as do Fluke Motorsport and Plays Kool - see links page at www.wscc.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The seats I have in my narrow body are playskool fibreglass ones - they have no trim but make perfect (light) race seats, they were under £100 each - I am pretty certain you can get trim for them. Have a look at thier website here and have a look at the picture of my car here Hope that is of some use to you! Cheers Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Agreed. Westfield narrow race seats will be the best, IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detailer Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Many thanks for that info. Just had a look at those seats on playskool tomcat and they look the biz + very reasonable price wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 They are a bit of a squeeze but you are certainly going nowhere in them - the whole support from thigh to shoulder is excellent! I would reccomend trimming them if you are driving on the road and for any length of time - as with all solid seats your ar*e tends to go a bit numb after a while! Mine are fitted straight to the floor, 3 bolts along the front edge - 1 bolt under my backside in the "bucket" part of the seat and a sheet of carbon laminate sculpted to the back of the seat mounting it back to the top of the chassis. Can you see the image of my car? The link keeps going down I think?!? Cheers Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kik1.6se Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I had the same problem as you, seats with no headrestraints. I've now got Intatrim Rangers in my narrow bodied car and I'm happy with them. Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Likewise, I had the standard Westfield low back seats in a SE. Changed them this year for a pair of Intatrim Odessey seats. Top quality and comfortable. Cost was just over £300 for the pair, this included any colour you like (so long as Intatrim stock it) and contrasting piping. Buy direct from Intatrim. Europa sell the same seats at £165 + vat each! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detailer Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 These cobra seats look pretty good. Anybody else fitted these to a narrow body SE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I've fitted some Cobra seats to my Narrow and they look great but as the car is narrow, the bits that stick up on the base of the seat stick into my thighs. A right pain on long journeys. I'm thinking of changing to F/Glass bucket seats with some trimming so looking at the Playskool ones at the moment. Still can't see Tomcat's pics yet, keep getting the "Forbidden ........." BTW: How comfy are the Playskool seats as opposed to the Westfield Race Seats?
