It says it's only made for a 4 point belt, so no sub straps with this seat. Won't be legal for any racing groups of PCA DE with harnesses.

its not FIA- I would put money on it.
save your money and go elsewhere. sparco evo is only a few hundred more and much better all around.

I believe it would be 5/6 pt if its fia and thats just a ricer buying point by mentioning 4pt belts. Somewhat of a typo. Because there are no 4pt fia seats to my knowledge.

Im looking at a sparco ergo as well. I want lightest seat possible passenger side and full containment driver side.

Good plan - put the passenger in peril in some cheap, knock off FIA seat.

I was going to put a real fia seat like recaro profi spg cobra racer pro tillet b6f

But if this was so light and so cheap i had to look at it

Hello and thank you for your email.

The seat is 23 LBS with steel brackets and all padding- Sorry I cannot strip the seat we have here to get a frame only measurement for you- this is the 13.2 weight that is advertised.
The Seats are produced by a FIA compliant manufacture but they do not have the FIA patch with expire date...
No hold in crotch area for 5th belt either

In addition, why do the shoulder harness slots run at an angle? You want those straps to run flat across your shoulders. Especially if you have a HANS.

Does someone think that having belts angled in that area will protect the neck in a side impact?
