Aftermarket Race seats? tried search.

I am looking to get some Racing seats for My VW Golf project. I would like some similar to Recaro or Sparco. I tried the search but didn't find anywhere to buy them.

Here are some pics of the kit so far. Im pretty new.

Try Wong's shop at www.mediamixhobby.com.sg He should have both Sparco and Recaro ones.

HTH,

Welcome here :wave:

Thanks for the quick reply.

I just ordered some Sparco seats and a few extras =]

Do you know how long it takes for them to process and ship orders? I live in the US. When I ordered from HLJ it seemed like it took forever. And not all the items I ordered from them were in stock.

I haven't ordered anything from Wong just yet, but from the others' comments he works fast.

Make sure you share your experiences with us ;)

WELCOME TO AF!!!!!

I get a strange site when I click on that link..

Wong works very fast. :D

I really want to see this site. How did you get on it, daggerlee? It can't be because of location, we live reletively close..

My guess is that there's an upgrade going on :confused:

Ideas of making a sparco torino seat have been dancing in my head the last couple of days :rolleyes: :bloated:

Yes, I've recently changed hosting service and the hosting service is upgrading their internet backbone these couple of days. It was pretty screwy last week but looks back to normal now.

cheers,

Hi, Wong. You really should come over here more often!

Psst! I've been doing quite a bit of advertising for you here! ;)

mmmm!!! so far it's really nice.. kinda remind me of the new Golf R32...

Sounds like an ides for Fly to make. Along with wings, body kits, and soon decals, there should be seats. Seems that everybody wants them but can never find them or are in limited quantity.

Weird. The link worked fine for me yesterday at work. Then I got home and got the site directory when I clicked on it. But it still worked by going to index.html.old.

Yeah the R32 is going to be pretty slick.

BTW
What is the best way to fit aoshima rims to a Tamiya model? I was thinking about using a piecs of round sprue and sanding one end smaller to fit both female ends.

Also do you guys prefer using a clearcoat or polishing? I have never polished a model. I used clearcoat on my Opel Calibra I just made and it looks OK.

Thanks for the help.
