two door bucket seat laws

Postby NZVengeance » Sat Feb 09, 2008 10:52 pm

does anyone know the laws surrounding chaging the seats in a 2 door.
i was told that if you have a 2 door at least one of the seats (drivers or front passenger) must be a recliner to allow passengers exit.

is this true?

Twin recliners an option? or getting one recoverd to match the other? though this would be a rather pricey option

the TRD seats are $1500 each plus shipping for a full bucket see here http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_trd-recaro.html

130,000 yen at todays excancerate is 1,500 NZD

compare that to this bride seat which is 2,400 + gst

http://www.drivenperformance.co.nz/scri ... oduct=1028

thats a big difference.

i just dont know if the trd seat is FIA spec or not.

it will be sometimes. and those few times it will be raced it will have to have a FIA seat.


and i figured having a normal and one recline able seat that are FIA cert is better than having a spare seat for racing only.
