....Or.... you could just use leftover seats from other kits, some people by a kit and only put one racing seat in it, or in some kits such as AMT's Supra kit, it comes with 2 styles of seats one set of normal style buckets with racing harnesses, and another set of "hardcore" racing seats with harnessess

I guess you either get spare parts from other models, or scratch build your own. Go hardcore!!!

Ok...
But, to me those all look like 'race car' seats I was looking for milder 'sport' seats. can you point me in the right direction?
(I was searching the catalog a couple of days ago, and all the seats looked the same to me...lol)

BTW: are the seats in the F&F Supra pretty good?

They are ok, not very high in quality, but if you are just looking for sumthing that looks like a racing seat, they work. both sets have molded in seatbels. not the best but they work.

Check out http://www.perrysresin.com/catalog.htm . On the link I posted, the middle seat looks like something I think you're looking for.

Sorry to high-jack this thred, But I have something to get off my mind.. Shorty goes and tell's Integra how he will get into BIG SHIT, If he makes resin engine's right?. BUT on his website, He can cut a little off a skyline body kit , Nename it a STW body kit, From Tamiya, Resin mold it AND RESELL IT, Along with a GT wing, And get away with this. IMO, He should NOT be telling Integra what to be doing, When HE can turn around and sell other reisn mold's and act like he is doing nothing wrong, If YOU can't reisn mold a engine, What make's you think you can get away with molding any other parts?? I would like to know?
