ok, i recently got some sparcos and custom matched reupolstered(sp?) rear seats.. ive seen some heated seat kits around online and was wondering if anybody has put them in sparcos? the only thing holding me back from installing the seats now is the cold weather and losing out on the heated seats

Been there done that!
Manny,
I added the BMW factory heating elements to my sparco Evo 2s. When you buy the heating elements, bring the seat if you can so you can see which one you need as there are 3 different ones: regular seat, sport seat, vaders. Te heating elements consist of a bottom piece and a top piece, which are separate. Let me know if you need more info.

well i would need the ones that fit the torinos.. i dont know which one of the 3 it would be. tye, did you install the heaters your self? was it something easy to do?

Try this guy:

James @ ATD Online
1.800.501.3299
www.atd1.com

He's been installing aftermarket seat heaters in Subarus for a while now. He says its pretty easy. Also as an added bonus they also have a 6 or 8 motor massager with heat but he says its a bitch to wire.

Good luck.

Haha... If I could only imagine sitting in a heated Sparco seat while being massaged!

IPD @ http://www.ipdusa.com sell seat heater packages. I know their elements fit the middle sections of the e30 sport seats so they should fit the torinos as well (about the same dimension). I would call and ask dimensions.

Basically any heating element can be made to work - you just want to make sure the dimensions fit the seat.

Why not get one of those flip down TVs? Attach it/them to the "ceiling" and if someone wants to watch, just flip it down and turn it on. Probably going to have to tear the covering so you can get the wires in there, but it'll be worth it. Less hassle than putting them in your seat.
