RE: Racing Seats
not to pimp a sponsor or anything, but procivic has some type-r lookalikes for about the same money...
most aftermarket "race" seats will work with standard belts & harnesses, with a relocation of the clasp to the framework or car body
most include or require "universal sliders" to maintain the ability to adjust their placement front to back in the car
most "universal sliders" work with sparco vehicle specific race seat bases, which will bolt to the factory locations in your car
total cost is generally quite a bit more than just the seats (Figure another $200-400 for bases, misc hardware and sliders if needed beyond cost of seats)

I can't just attatch the universal sliders to the base I already have?

And Marnie, I'd probably relocate that clasp from the seat to the body/floor somewhere.

what do you mean? the seat belt buckle? it is supposed to be attached to the seat, mine is installed properly. I have the Recaro rails though, it is supposed to be mounted there

no, what do you want to know? is it something I could measure easily without taking the seat out?
