Selecting a Mugen Racing Seat

Mugen Motorsports  is a Japanese company formed in 1973 by Hirotoshi Honda, the son of Honda Motor Company founder Soichiro Honda, and Masao Kimura. Mugen, meaning "Without Limit", or "Unlimited", (hence the commonly placed word "Power" after, denoting "Unlimited Power") is an engine tuner and parts manufacturer closely associated with the Honda Motor Company. Despite the family connections, however, Mugen is not, and has never been, owned by Honda. Things were complicated for some time as Mugen was owned and run by Hirotoshi Honda, who has been the major shareholder in Honda since his father's death in 1991.

The shell consists of a composite material of fiberglass and vinyl ester resin. The resulting structure has the necessary resistance to the stress distribution. Incidentally, the racing seat fitted as standard in the Type R is of German manufacture. The standard seat does rot, have a full bucket racing design, and is made to suit the comfort requirements and body proportions of various drivers. Ironically, at approximately 13.6 kg per leg (excluding seat rails), it is even heavier than conventional mass-production vehicle seats. The S1 Mugen full bucket seat has a weight of 5.8 kg per leg (excluding seat rails) while boasting high strength. Likewise, the tight shell configuration, patch section using the minimum necessary fabric, seat cushioning, and Ecsaine cover maintain high holding characteristics. Also, the hip point (sitting position) is located approximately 70 mm lower than normal to give a direct driving feel. Specially designed seat rails (available separately) are used for mounting.

Owning an auto has become the most important necessity for modern day life as it gives you sense of freedom and independence. You can personalize your auto by adding on high-tech auto accessories like auto spoilers, hid kits, floor mats, underbody neon kit, diamond plate and racing seats which will not only boost the performance of your auto but make it look smarter and chic than ever.

Racing Seats come in a wide variety of fixed back, reclining, and off road set up to accommodate almost every kind of racing imaginable.  They are not only designed for safety, but also for comfort and style.  These seats are expensive and you don't want them to detract from your vehicle.  Fixed back racing seats come with 5-point harness capability and come in a variety of sizes for both large and small drivers.  Reclining racing seats are equipped with harness slots for 4-point harnesses.  Depending on how much support you want and where you want that support there is sure to be a racing seat designed for you.  

Changing your ordinary factory car seats with newly designed and stylish racing seats not only will enhance your comfort; it will certainly lend great looks to your auto interior.
