i bought the seat from OG racing, brand new, not second hand.
don't know where you saw that...
if you're willing to buy the rail/slider, i'm ready.
who is going to buy a base/rail without a seat? Nobody i know. They usually purchase the whole thing at once.

I was saying it was second hand on your part, the purchaser of the seat would be purchasing it second hand from you. I once purchased a 8" lift kit for my Dodge Ram, being the perfectionist that I am I wanted to do it right, so I wanted to do the gears at the same time. I never had enough money to do them, so I sold the rims, tires, and lift kit I purchased all for about 70% of what I paid for all of it. It was all BRAND NEW never left the packaging. Something like a $1200 lift I got $800, wheels and tires that were over $1000 I got $550.

i wasn't arguing with anyone about a base being home made.
sure, anyone with a welder and flat steel and a bit of creativity can make anything.
i chose to buy a base/slider because i wanted my seat not only to recline, but i wanted it all to bolt in and slide back and forth perfectly...the $150 or whatever the part of the slider/base cost, saved me a lot of headache, if i had to get someone to fabricate them for me.
it's all about simplicity, i wanted to spend no more than 5 minutes to bolt the seat in and out.
The base/sliders are specific to this seat (not sure if they'll fit other Sparcos), which is why i'm reluctant to sell just the seat.
* And not everyone can drive a seat that sits so upright like the one in your pic.
I for one would rather not drive if i had to sit at a 90% angle while driving my DAILY DRIVER.
I want a seat to have comfort be soft enough for LONG rides and recline. I also want it to have bolstered sides to hold me in.
The seat is perfect for all those things. It is not a race seat and never claimed it to be. Again, on a race car, i would look at nothing BUT a race seat. On a daily driver i would never use a race seat. I've done it in the past and regret it every time.
