    Hello there guys, we have started a project on doing simracer-rig.
    We have bought Ricmo Tech RS-1 plan & template. It will be a wooden structure.

    Now we are looking for seats for this Rig.
    would you guys be so kind to give us some hint's on where to buy these seats ?

    Regards XORExploit

    If your on a tight budget, eBay. They have some nice seats and nice prices.

    You're in Iceland. There's no shortage of racing seats and bucket seats in Iceland. Have a look on local motorsport or car forums and formula offroad clubs and see if you can find some fixed back bucket seats. I picked mine up for about £40 GBP from a guy here on a local car club.

    Thanks for the tip guys, well bsft we will go from Rig-static and then go to full motionRig, but this is the first step.
    Bucket seat are much better for the hole feel and are more for the racing eye :).
    The Junkjards/car dismantlers charge alot of money for used seats about 150-220 pounds here in iceland, but we have only found old and dirty looking seats.

    We don´t have so many motorsportclubs here in iceland :).
    maybe it is good idea to buy bucketseats from UK motorsport clubs and send ship them back to Iceland :)
