Any suggestions on what I shold buy?
Any of the Recaro or Sparco seats I've seen on eBay et al have recline and look like they wouldn't be terribly uncomfortable... The only things I can see qualifying are solid aluminum with no padding or anything. Seems kinda dangerous to the back and stuff.
Not to mention that an unadjustable seat makes it hard to let someone else use the car. Especially if I take it to a NASA HPDE where the driver and passenger seats need to have the same level of protection and you never know what instructor will be with you.
