MOMO Start SEAT

Love this seat. I have it in my 94 miata with a pci setback mount and it fit with some trans tunnel bashing and modification to the door card. You could get it to fit without any door card modification if you turned the seat a bit off center but that would drive me nuts. I have long big legs and an athletic build for 5'10" 175 and I fit with a bit of room in the hips. I do have to tilt this seat back quite a bit to get proper thigh support so maybe I will invest in some thigh pads. Overall build quality seems great and makes driving my car in the twisties much less laborsome. Seat doesnt include hardware for side mounts.

Seat cover damaged during shipping three small rips (see photo)Seat seems to be very low quality. Comparing it to a Corbeau at same price, the Corbeau is superior. Only reason I went with this seat is FIA certified.

I was a little hesitant after reading reviews about the start seat for bigger guys. I am 260lbs and 6 ft tall but needed something that would drop a few inches in height from the standard seat. I track my 1998 BMW M Roadster and shoving myself and helmet into the car makes me look like a clown lol. The start seat took a lot of "finessing" to fit in the M's notoriously cramped cockpit and given the headroom I had to find a way to bolt it in without a slider, luckily it all worked out nearly perfectly. There's enough room on the sides to slip a 13mm wrench to get at the side bolts incase I need to remove it but its low enough that I feel absolutely planted. I ordered a larger Momo XL supercup seat and I much prefer the start as I am snugly in there without feeling any ill effects. The start is definitely a little snug on my hips but opened up after a week of use. If you're looking for a great seat for your track/weekend car this is it. I wouldn't take it anywhere further than an hour and a half but that's not what I needed it for anyways.

I really love this seat! The materials feel great and it is a LOT lighter than most of the seats I've messed around with at this price point. However, I was forced to return it due to it's sizing - It's VERY thin. I'm 6'0" and 175 lbs and I BARELY fit inside the seat. The bottom harness hole is almost not visible due to how tight I am in the seat. I've sat quite comfortably in Sparco R100's and, while those aren't as high quality as these, they are a good alternative if you don't have the right body shape for these seats.

Arrived damaged, you can see that the seat cover material is super thin and is easily torn. Definitely not the quality I'd expect from Momo or a $400+ seat. I'd expect this from a knockoff seat that cost $200. There's no way this seat cover material would last in a car and that makes me doubt the durability of the seat as well.

The seat came quickly and was a genuine Momo product with the serial number and FiA certification. The material could be a bit stronger, I somehow got a small cut in the bolster while installing the seat bracket, but otherwise the quality is what you would expect from Momo. I am 6ft 195 lbs and wear 34 inch waste, but what may be most important is I have a fairly large frame. The seat is snug in the waist/thigh area, but where it is really tight is in the chest area just below the shoulder. I had to heat up the seat and put a wedge between the bolsters to stretch another quarter inch or so for comfort. If you have a extra large chest or very broad shoulders this won’t work. I mounted the seat on Bride sliders in a 89 240sx. Fitment for the car with sliders was not an issue but you won’t be able to use the lowest setting for the Bride sliders in an s chassis with this seat due to the depth of the bucket relative to the mounting holes.

Its more comfortable than my sparco sprint pass. seat. Doesn't fit into a miata without modification of the mount or car. Aka: it hits the door, and even with taking the door card off, still hits the door. But place a washer under the back corner of the seat slider and it'll fit if the door card is off.But also, free shipping on a racing seat is incredible!Also have had it in my car for a year now and is already very faded.Other than that, very good deal for the money!

It works in my C5 corvette. The seat fits but I’m six feet 235lbs. It’s a tight fit for me. My son is 6’2” and around 170lbs. He fits quite well. If you are my size you may want to look for a larger seat.
