Default wtb racing seat

Ive been keeping an eye on ebay, racing junk, the nasa and scca forums but nothing is popping up. Im currently using a kirkey intermediate but its very uncomfortable. I am looking for a used 1 piece solid back seat that can use a 5pt. Harness. I will be switching it between my 89 vette for track days and my rx7. Mount is not a problem i can weld up my own.

However, i only have about $400 to spend. At this point i feel like anything is better than my current setup...

I live in sumter sc and if i have to ship thats fine.

I sold this seat to this member a few months ago. He isn't using it anymore. It's in great condition.

That looks about what i need. However i am 5 10" and 160 lbs with 32" waist. Would the XL be too big for me?

I'm 6'0 about 200lbs with a 36" waist. What are the chances I will fit in that seat?

I'm 6'0 and 185lbs (on a good morning ) and it fit me well.
It'll probably be a bit snug, but it should work for you.

I don't think you would want mine. It's pretty beat up (involved in a 100 mph impact with a wall) and the bottom feet have been cut off. Based on your size the Corbeau FX1 Pro would fit you well. I'm 5'10" and 175 lbs with a 34" waist and it's a perfect fit. You can buy a new one in your price range here: http://www.soloracer.com/corbeaufx1pro.html
