Junkyard, Scrapyard... anywhere to get a decent car seat?

[AsaSmith]

I was hoping someone more accustomed to the Finnish language or a Helsink/Vantaa/Espoo local might chip in and help a guy out. I'm looking for a second hand car seat, it really doesn't matter which car so long as its either reasonably sporty (ie a bucket seat or something race worthy) or failing that a half decent leather one would do. Its not going in a car by the way

I live in Tapanila and have tried my local guy who doesn't speak a word of English (not his fault its just a pain in the ass) from http://www.sapoma.fi but he doesnt have anything that matches the description

I have also tried searching with the words Romu and Piha but havent gotten any luck, also junkyard and scrapyard dont produce any decent results. Is there a place that anybody knows just to get a seat?

I have this place to try tomorrow Autovahinkokeskus Oy Espoo 010 773 7530 but apart from this place which is a real distance from me as I'll be carrying this seat by hand I'm a bit stuck

The only other 2 posts I found on here didn't produce much either, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

But finding sporty might be problematic with Finnish cars.

Indeed I am well put together and thanks for the tip! What a cracking deal that you found on that racing seat! I'm considering not building this:

And just buying that seat you showed me!

I'll price both options up as I've just called the PVC company and I'm going to get a quote but that really does look like an attractive deal... godamn my wallets burning!

Do you have one yourself? Is it good and sturdy?

No, it was just a first google hit I got. I've got no room for one, sadly.

Yea me neither really but its happening whether the girlfriend likes it or not

Were both living in one room but I feel the need for speed so I've got to get one. Ironically ill be playing gran turismo and iracer

Thanks for the hit, its unbelievably lucky as its also got the gear stick on the correct side for British cars

Ok I ended up buying the seat you suggested Upphew! Thanks a bunch for grabbing that for me, I don't think I'd have found that deal without you. You probably saved me 100 Euro there buddy

Beers are on me

http://en.varaosahaku.fi/ is a good place to search through a laege portion of Finnish junkyards. It's pretty intuitive to use, you choose your car, then what section and so on until you've narrowed it down.
