I don't have it... but I've been in them... and love them... too bad they don't make them in leather... actually, for that, you need to get the Milano.

I have a Sparco Torino seat in my '94 Camaro. I used it for street use and Solo1 for a couple years and also my first year road racing. It's a decent (but heavy) seat for the street and I really like mine.
I moved it over to the passenger side when I bought a Sparco Pro 2000 and my car became a dedicated ITE car. My car still sees the street every now and then and it's nice to take passengers along for a ride. And the Torino, although not a perfect match goes well with the Pro 2000, Also, I ended up using my factory slider on mine. You've got to drill a couple new holes but it works pretty well. |

Did you find it comfortable on long trips? Also what's your build? I feel weird asking another guy that.

I didn't really take any long trips but I thought it was pretty comfortable and would be suitable for long trips. The height was right about the same as stock. I had hoped to pick up a little more head room. FYI I am 6' tall and 215 pounds.
Hey Jon, I Figured you'd be hanging out here. So much for being anonymous. I got made on my first post here! |

Heh, well I figured the odds of another ITE racer doing that exact same things with his seats was pretty remote. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Anyway, it's good to see you here. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
