The Takata Race Evo 8 Bucket Seat Package includes a Takata Race LE competition bucket seat with Evo 8-specific side mount brackets and a Takata Drift III Snap-On harness. The Evo 8 (CT9A early series) was the first Evolution generation to be sold in the UK as a full standard production model rather than a special import, making it the most widely available classic CT9A generation.
The Evo 8’s 4G63 produced 265hp in UK specification on a Garrett TD05H turbo, with stronger internal forging than earlier 4G63 variants. The RS variant deleted AYC, air conditioning, ABS, and the rear wiper to cut approximately 30kg, making it a popular base for club motorsport builds where the deleted electronics are replaced by adjustable mechanical components. The GSR retained Active Yaw Control and is the more road-friendly version of the two.
The Evo 8 arrived with the CT9A’s established floor geometry that carries through to the Evo 9; the side mount bracket set in this package is specific to the 8’s floor points.
The Drift III harness included is Road and Track approved, not FIA competition legal. Package options: Seat Width (Standard or Excel Width), Sport Seat Position (RHD Driver Side or RHD Passenger Side), Webbing Colour (Black or Green).
For the standalone Race LE seat: Takata Race LE Competition Bucket Seat.
Packages are assembled to order including the vehicle-specific bracket set; lead time is 4 to 8 weeks from order. If you need the seat for a specific event, drop us an email or click to open a chat and we will confirm the schedule.
