Competition seats for the GTO/3000GTWhich bucket seat for a Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT
The Cobra Monaco Pro FIA at £235 is the practical starting point for a track day car. If you want a shell built specifically for this car, the Corbeau Sprint X System 1 at £575 is worth the step up. For a GTO/3000GT built properly for competition, the Corbeau Pro Series X System 1 at £610 gives the strongest support here.

The Auto Style Type AK at £235 and Sparco R100 Martini Racing at £291.66 are the accessible starting points. The Sparco R500 Fabric at £274.16 and Auto Style Type LH Fabric at £257.50 sit a step up. The Cobra Daytona at £499.17 is a premium touring option.

Reclining seats for the GTO/3000GTWhich reclining seat for a Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT
The Auto Style Type AK at £235 is the sensible starting point, comfortable for daily use with more support than the factory seat. For a genuine step up, the Cobra Daytona at £499.17 gives stronger lateral hold while keeping more comfort than a fixed-back shell.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage or a properly engineered harness bar goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a GTO/3000GT going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Is GTO the same car as 3000GT?
Yes. GTO is the Japanese domestic market name, 3000GT is the export name, for the same car.
Does the bracket fit every year?
Yes, the Planted Technology bracket is confirmed across the full production run, 1991 to 1999.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first.
Should I choose a competition bucket or a reclining seat?
A competition bucket holds you better through a corner but is harder to live with day to day. A reclining seat keeps more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.
