I have to agree with DerMetzger. I prefer the Bride seats... and I have them. LOL I also prefer the GReddy 15oz counter-weight shift knob. It's also nice... I love it and find it a lot better than the stock one.

Sparco is the most trusted name in motorsports as far as seats/suits.
-------
NON RACE CAR FAV's
Looks the same, but this one is 500 per seat, and is made of a hard resin. 35lbs versus the real racing seats 15lbs.
NO adjustable/ reclineable "Racing" seat is worth it. Somthing as important as a seat needs to be tailored like a suit to fit your needs and keep your neck from snapping.

Screwdriver shift knob revolution.
I've seen a stubby screwdriver handle on an ignition key before.

Nismo Delrin shifter.
Sparco SPG.
These will both be finding their way into my car within the next year.

what kind of seats fit in our cars? I've never fucked with seats in a car before but I wanna get some new seats so yeah..
Oct 31, 2008, 5:00 pm · #17
No real aftermarket seats will just fit in our cars. You will need an adapter plate made up or make one yourself. That's what I did for my Brides.
It's been shown that a stock S13 and one or two other seats from other stock cars fit in the S12 with some minimal mods.

Shift knobs:
I call it the "wrecking-ball". Billet stainless, machined finish. What's also nice about his knobs is that they're threaded all the way to the bottom, so you can keep your stock Mark I accordian shift boot, even with a short-throw shifter like mine (which has a shorter shift arm).seishuku
THAT is quite literally baller in SO many ways. FTW big time.

DerMetzger Always liked Bride seats.
And Nismo shifters.
I have that same shift knob! I bought it from motorsports....i liked it a lot, and it was one of the cheaper ones so it was win win baby! I have a metal blitz shift know in my rx7 that I really like...except for on hot days when it tries to burn my hand...
I also love the bride seats...they are very very nice. Only seat I can think of that comes close would be corbeau seats...my step dad has a set in one of his rx7s...they are really nice as well.

Here is one for you guys hahahaha...........
Nov 1, 2008, 6:08 pm · #23
That's fuckin awesome
Nov 1, 2008, 7:43 pm · #24
It looks tho like it would make for uncomfortable and slow shifts lol.
Nov 1, 2008, 7:57 pm · #25
Yeah, really a round knob is the best for comfortable shifts... I notice most racecars have round or rounded-off cylindrical knobs. But for a street car to cruise around it, it's cool

I'd like to know the thread of your knob, is it 10X1,25?
I appreciate.
Does it existe a rubber/plastic/duracon/delrin knob for better grip? I don't like the metal ones because of the heat.

i was looking for pink racing seats for awhile but gave up when i couldnt find any. now its on to green seats.
i have this idea of a wooden shift knob, if youve ever seen those stone carvings of stuff like the elephants that have been hollowed out but have miniatures carved into it. i would love to do a shift knob like that.
May 27, 2009, 1:58 am · #34
Don't have a pic but, I used to have a stock MR2 MK1 shift knob in my Toyota 4X4 and it was nice. I like the Nismo ones also.
Too bad I have an Auto right now
As for seats, my buddy has Sparco Torino 2's in his 240Z and they look really nice. I also gotta agree with DerMetzger and Draconis, Brides are the $hit.

PraizewoodGot my gear knob today!
very nice. im getting a nismo one only cuz we have a bunch at my job and there fairly cheap
May 28, 2009, 4:55 pm · #38
this is my hand made shifter. i used yellow brass and buffed it till it looked like gold. its 14oz. i engraved the shift pattern into with roman numerals designated to a corresponding gear.(I,II,III,IV,V-then i just used R)its a one piece sand-casted. i used a hi-lo lever as the mold.
as for a seat depends on the weather. i like bride, omp, sparco, recaro, but mostly i want to get a non-reclinable for the driver and a reclinable in the passenger side.

I like Corbeau, from what i have read there good seats at really affordable prices. I like this one in particular. 
As for shifter nobs i like the pink crystal ones there bad ass!
