BF Torino Le Mans seats in Houston
Hello all. I'm hoping one of you teeners in the Houston area, more specifically south east can help me.
I don't have a 911 or even a Porsche any more, some day again, but not right now. For now I have a miata. The stock seats in a miata suck after driving a 911 for 4 years so I'm thinking of upgrading. The BF Torino seats look pretty good, and the Le Mans seat which is made specifically for a 914 looks based on the advertised measurements like it would fit pretty well, but I'd like to sit in one or even possibly set it in the car where the seats go to see how it fits (wouldn't be able to bolt it down) before I buy one. I'm sure the guys at Motomotions have a great return policy, but that would be a pain. So, does anyone have one of these seats in Houston that I could sit in and maybe either measure or test fit in my car to see how it does? Thanks. ![]()

The B F Torino seats are top quality. I sat in them all before I bought the LeMans for my 914.
Monte Carlo = Nice seat that belongs in a bigger car with room to recline. Rallye ST = Very comfortable. A nice choice for a long trip. Wide enough for anyone. Nurburgring = Very similar to the Scheel. High support under your knees. Le Mans = AWESOME. Excellent in every way. The PERFECT 914 seat for me. You do sit a little higher in the LeMans than you do in a stock 914 seat. I proved to be extremely comfortable on a week long road trip. ![]() |

![]() Here's a pic of my Le Mans seat in my car. It's great and very comfortable. Glad I got it. Couldn't be happier with it. |

How tall is it from the bottom to the top of the headrest?
For you guys that find it comfy, how big are you? Thanks
