Rate my chair/10 - sparco

corksil · December 6th, 2013, 11:29 PM

Hey guys, I finished building this about two weeks ago. It's been a very long road -- I've ass-tested quite a few racing seats, and finally settled down on the feel/fit of a Sparco Corsa circa 1999. Broad shoulders, narrow waist, V-shape upper body type.. etc ad nauseum.

Sacrificed a rolling/reclining standard desk office chair to build this after my cat tore up the original seat.

Took a while to get the balance point correct and I flipped over on my back a fair few times before I got done with the prototypes and put this one together.

This is still a work in progress, the chair feels nice but I need to add a few more features. Arm rests would be nice, a cupholder would definitely increase the sweetness, as with a cigarette holder and ashtray, along with a few other features.

So anyways... lemme know how I can make my chair sweeter. Posting from a sparco. Corbeaus, momos, brides.. none of them seemed to fit me the way this one does.

Shoot.

(plz excuse the beer cans, my cat enjoys PBR)

Oh come on CC, can't you just play by the rules?

(My ultimate plan is to get a sub-ten rating and then use this thread for ideas on how to improve the chair.)

I'm thinking of a built-in ashtray holder and roach clip, maybe a platform underneath with a locking box for various accouterments with provisions for a gun holster, tobacco waterpipe holder, maybe some armrests... I want to keep it simple but functionally aesthetic.

I never foresaw asking the internet for tips on how to build a cooler throne.
