viperbl Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Looking for a seat for my S3 build ... Demon tweaks have a good choice in one place ... as far as I see it ... R500, B4, B6 or B6F ... Friends have the R500 and they are good, anyone sat in any of these and have good/bad points to say??? Demon Tweaks Seats Link Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 How much do you want to spend? 😬 Talk to Steve Tillett - he can make pretty much anything you want if you'd like something a bit less standard. The 'R500' race seat is very comfortable. I have the boggo GRP ones, and love them. The carbon-kevlar are even more comfortable (and expensive). Personally I'd avoid anything with more than a bit of student accommodation carpet on it, it's too heavy, and if you're lucky enough to fit in a Tillett (you must be as you're considering one ) then they are comfy enough without much on them. Though the leather pads you can get from Oxted are rather luxurious... Personally I don't think you can go wrong with a Tillett. Can you get to a meet to try everything out?

viperbl Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thank myothercarsa2cv , Well, I recon around the £500 mark from what I can see, not bothered about spending the extra for carbon-kevlar which pretty much means any of the above in GRP ... This is the problem, I live on the old Isle of Man! In saying that tho, we have no limits coming up so I just stick my good old leather roadsport seat in and see what exotics turn up to test! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'll be there with a standard GRP Tillett complete with an Oxted Trimming leather cover which you're more than welcome to try out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combine Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Got to be a tillet , a very good upgrade , you can feel the back end of the car sliding around much better on corners etc ! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I can't get comfy at all in a Tillet hence I have 2 in the loft (to refit when I sell the car), I have leather in one car and 2-pack foam bag in the other! Really worth trying a few options before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperbl Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks for your comments guys, Which tillets do you have aeroscreens? I see the B4 are more of reclined driving position than the B6 so defiantly different seats ... I also have the flat floor put in the car so suspect I might be quite low down!

Drumster Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Mine's the R500 one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I thought the B4 and B6 were the same but the headrest on the B6 is further back to work better with a helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 22, 2013 Support Team Share Posted May 22, 2013 B6 if you wear a helmet. As Rob says the headrest is set back a bit which makes it more comfy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viperbl Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Looking on demon tweaks it looks like they are quite different seats?? Giles, I did not get any mail? My email is rich at vipertuning d0t com Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klunk Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Doh! Think I may have sent the blatmail to one of the other posters - apologies. Rich, hopefully you now have mail Regards, Giles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmac Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Mine looks like the R500 one ( standard fare from Caterham I guess ) I used some Neoprene self adhesive foam to form pads for each seat. Found it helps to keep a barrier between you and the cold GRP Cheap to do and turned out not too bad, well passenger side is better than the drivers if I'm honest , but had the hang of how to do it by the second one. I find the tillets very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
