those look a hell of a lot like recaro's with custom cloth/emblem.... but i could be wrong...

 

[Craig King]

looking seats either way!

They are not TRD, they are Recaro knowck offs with TRD sewn on... there are also NISMO, MUGEN, and RALLIART seats on EBAY too with similarities

How much are they going for? Nice looking seats, even if they are not TRD.

You can actually get TRD-labeled seats. Talk to Curt Aigner. I think they're $1500 for the pair + shipping.

What seats are they? Thanks.

I am actually 6'6" and I find it really hard to use the heel/toe shifting in the car when downshifting as my knee knocks the steering wheel. I have tried kind of reversing the way the technique works and using the ball of my foot on the clutch and the heel on the brake but thats really tough to get used to and kind of uncomfortable too.

Has anyone ever heard of taking the back seat out and mounting the front seat back a bit farther to remedy something like this?

Sparco Evo 2. All others don't fit me and I'm 6'6" and 240lbs.

It's the 'big boy' race seat.

IMO your best bet is a race seat with a custom bracket. You will have problems reaching the wheel though unless you have long arms.

 

[ThomsonCharm]

Ok sweet. Thanks for the advise. Do you have any of the same problems with heel/toeing when driving your car? I was thinking a different steering wheel may help too.

 

[quick]

I am able to get my legs into position so it's not an issue for me, but I can see how it would be if you have longer legs.

might as well get your seats wrapped the way you like and not have to worry about being uncomfortable. that is what my friend did.

 

[ALL-2JZ-PWR]

Damn id like to get some of them. Who cares if they are not trd, i can still full my friends. lol

Seriously, you heel/toe with the brake and clutch? I am curious why you would need to use this technique. I use the heel/toe technique; however, it is with the gas and brake.

I think he meant gas and brake...

lol yes I meant gas and brake. I think it was pretty early in the morning when I wrote that, so I wasnt really thinking about what I was doing. I heal the brake and toe the gas because my knees knock the steering wheel otherwise. But I dont really get that smooth of a downshift like this as its hard to get used to.
