A Perfect Fit: Recaro Profi SPG Seat, PCI Adjustable Mounts, and Schroth Harnesses in a Honda S2000

We love seeing our customers achieve a perfect fit with our products, and one of our latest customer installations in a Honda S2000 AP1/AP2 is an impressive setup that demonstrates just how precise a custom seat installation can be. Using the Recaro Profi SPG FIA Motorsport Bucket Seat, PCI Racing adjustable mounts, and Schroth Profi II-FE ASM FIA Harnesses, this setup maximizes both safety and performance while fitting within millimeters of the car’s trim. Here’s a detailed look at the setup and what makes it such a fantastic installation.

Why This Setup Is Ideal for Honda S2000 Owners

This setup highlights why the Recaro Profi SPG seat, PCI Racing adjustable mounts, and Schroth harnesses are a perfect combination for S2000 owners looking to improve performance, safety, and comfort.

  • Enhanced Driving Position: By allowing the driver to sit low and snug in the cockpit, this setup provides a performance-oriented driving position that enhances control and visibility.
  • Maximum Stability: The Recaro Profi SPG’s deep bolsters, combined with the Schroth harness, keep the driver securely in place during spirited driving and aggressive cornering.
  • High Safety Standards: With both the seat and harness being FIA-approved, this setup meets motorsport safety standards, making it ideal for track use or high-speed road driving.
  • Perfect Fit with Minimal Adjustments: The PCI mounts offer adjustability without requiring extensive modifications, allowing the seat to be positioned exactly where it needs to be with millimeter precision.

The Components of the Setup

Recaro Profi SPG FIA Motorsport Bucket Seat

The Recaro Profi SPG seat is a popular choice among motorsport enthusiasts for good reason. This FIA-approved bucket seat is engineered for high-performance racing, offering exceptional support with its deep side bolsters, ergonomic design, and lightweight fiberglass shell. Designed to keep drivers firmly in place during aggressive cornering, the Profi SPG is well-suited for both track days and spirited road driving. However, due to the seat base’s slight bulge, it requires careful positioning to achieve the ideal height and fit in a compact cockpit like the S2000.

PCI Racing Adjustable Seat Mounts for Honda S2000

To securely mount the Recaro seat in the S2000, the customer used PCI Racing adjustable seat mounts. These mounts are built specifically for the Honda S2000 (1999-2010), ensuring a precise fit with flexible adjustment options. PCI Racing mounts allow for micro-adjustments in height and tilt, which is essential when working with a racing seat that needs to avoid internal trim or floor pan obstructions. In this setup, the seat sits in the second-to-lowest position to clear the slight bulge at the base of the Recaro seat, while still providing a low, performance-driven seating position.

Schroth Profi II-FE ASM FIA Harnesses

For added safety and stability, the customer chose the Schroth Profi II-FE ASM FIA harnesses. These harnesses are designed for serious track use, incorporating Schroth’s Anti-Submarining (ASM) technology to reduce the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision. The harnesses provide a secure, snug fit, ensuring the driver is held firmly in the Recaro Profi SPG seat without compromising comfort or mobility.

The finished Setup And Install

Fitting the Setup: Precision and Millimeter Clearance

Achieving this setup required careful positioning and a detailed understanding of the Honda S2000’s interior dimensions. Here’s what made this installation unique:

Millimeter Precision to Clear Trim

The installation achieved a tight fit with mere millimeters of clearance between the seat and the S2000’s internal trim. This precision ensures that the seat sits low enough for performance driving but doesn’t interfere with the car’s interior. The Recaro Profi SPG’s frame and the PCI Racing mounts worked together seamlessly to find this perfect position.

Positioning with PCI Mounts: Second-Lowest Setting

Due to the slight bulge in the Recaro seat’s base, the seat couldn’t be installed at the lowest possible point on the PCI mounts. Instead, the customer set the seat at the second-to-lowest mounting point, which allowed it to fit snugly over the mount without causing compression or creating uneven seating angles. This slight adjustment was key to achieving the best possible fit without compromising the seat’s stability or position.

Compatible and Secure Harness Setup

The Schroth Profi II-FE ASM harnesses fit perfectly with the Recaro seat, providing both security and ease of use. The harness mounts aligned with the seat, making installation straightforward while ensuring a secure setup for track use. This combination offers the driver a high level of stability and comfort, maintaining FIA standards for safety.

FAQs

Can I install this setup myself?
Yes, but we recommend professional installation, especially for the harnesses and seat mounts, to ensure the highest level of safety and stability.

Why did the seat need to be positioned at the second-to-lowest point?
The Recaro Profi SPG seat has a slight bulge in the base that prevents it from sitting flush at the lowest point. Positioning it at the second-to-lowest point provides a snug fit while clearing the internal trim.

Does this setup work with other seats and mounts?
This specific setup was designed around the Recaro Profi SPG seat and PCI Racing mounts, but similar setups can be achieved with compatible mounts and FIA-approved seats. Always verify seat, mount, and harness compatibility with your specific vehicle model.

Final Thoughts: A Setup that Delivers in Performance and Fit

The combination of the Recaro Profi SPG seat, PCI Racing adjustable mounts, and Schroth Profi harnesses is an ideal setup for Honda S2000 owners seeking a balance of performance, comfort, and precision fit. Achieving millimeter-level clearance and finding the perfect mounting position showcases the quality of each component, making it a fantastic choice for those who want to elevate their driving experience.
