rs-tuner - those are cobra monaco's - and are exactly the same as what i have to go into the 3dr. Ive even got a red version of that seat to go into the 325i.

rmd maximum protection is just a copy of the older design sparco pro2000.

i think i'm going to get a pair of RMD max protections then if i decide to upgrade the spec of the car get hold of a Sparco Pro2000 for the drivers seat (i hate things tht don't match haha)

Jimbo or should I say jumbo
I'm 6 foot 5 and weigh 21 stone and I find the cobras comfy. I even drive to the ring without needing a break.

Best thing to do is go to somewhere like demon tweeks and sit in a few that's what I did and got a good seat that I can actually fit in.

Room to spare in them dave? As I'd say I'm a big wider across the waste? I don't want to do what I dod last time and have to stop every 45mins as that will make my drive to nurburgring massive lol

you probably want a fat bastard seat like the recaro pole position or the cheaper version which uses same shell.
