Corbeau Seat

G Guest
Took delivery of the PI White Devil almost a month ago and it had been sitting in storage ever since. WHY?.....Been too busy at work and.....I can't move the seat forward enough to fully disengage the clutch.

Unlike most owners here, I found the interior quite roomy with more than 4" of spare headroom. Perhaps the previous owner is tall and thin out the bottom cushion, but at 5'6", I feel like a midget in the car.

After eyeing PI's Clubman aftermarket seat, I'm convinced that other Corbeau could fill my needs better. Did any owner here tried other Corbeau in their Pantera? I'm think about the A4, CR1, TRS, and Forza.

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the suggestion. I don�t think my car has the drop floor pan. Without which, the Torino may not fit. I also have a pair of Torino in my Esprit Twin Turbo and I had to shoe hone it into the Lotus. They are great seats. However, I would like to try something different. Since Corbeau has sliding bracket made for the Pantera, I would like to find options other than the Clubman.

Hi Jack,

Do you have a photo of your Jamex? How high the tracks sit aren�t my main concern. Most important is that I can move the seat close enough so that I can use the clutch properly. I think this can be taken care of once I adapt the Jamex to the car. Furthermore, the stock seat doesn�t fit me very well. Please kindly forward me your Jamex pictures.

Thanks Regard

I have a JAMEX racing seat for sale, almost new condition. BLACK in color(fabric), side bolsters, It reclines, has holes for a 5 point harness. Looks great in the Pantera. It comes with a new adjustable seat track/rail system(very rigid),you'll have to adapt it to the pantera floor. The tracks sit aprox. 3" high and will probably solve your problem. I am asking $300. for it. If interested, please contact Marlin at: thejacks@cnmnetwork.com It is located in Manteca, California.

Yes Paul, you can mount the seat wherever (as close), as you please. And sorry! I do not have any pictures. I would discribe it as looking just like a Corbear, Recaro. It is very well made, in very fine condition with NO rips, or tares. The top of the "Highback" seat (headrest) is high enough to be 2" to 3" above the bottom level of the rear window glass, when the seat is setting directly on the stock floor, (floor NOT dropped). Regards, Marlin.

Hi Mark,

Just two questions. How many inches is the top of your friend's Torino seat to the roof? Furthermore, how many inches drop was his Pantera's floor. This could give me a good idea for seat options.

Thanks Regard
