New Seats

[Rixtar]

Hi There

The front seats in my baby, although in pretty great nick are a bit soft an leading to a sore lower back on long drives.

Anyone know of a decent set of nice looking seats that would basically be a straight swap / minimal modification and give better support.

Cheers

Rick

Subaru impreza bucket seats fit nicely, 3 bolt holes line up perfect just 1 needs a bit of modding

not really - mine were really tatty, so i searched on ebay and found a set in good condition - they arent always advertised as surf ones - i then sold on just my old seats so I now have a spare set of Recaro runners for a surf that i could be persuaded to part with, then pretty much any recaro (at least ones that the holes line up with) can be easily bolted to them..

Just got my hands on some Celica Gen 7 seats, apparently they fit really well.

Anyone for some Gen 2 seats?

That's what I have.... Top choice and comfy for hours and hours of driving on our last trip....

You will need to cut the feet off the org seats and weld on gen 7 rails.

Don't think anyone will want your org seats minus feet though...

Any chance of some fitting tips / photos? would be much appreciated.

will do a step by step when I do mine with photos and post.

May sound lazy but pics are not really needed and would not explain much.

It is just cutting the feet off both sets...measure..tack weld...check and fully weld. Job done.

Good thing is the rails are spot on.

You do make it sound rather simple, however I sometimes have a brain fritz and don't want to end up with 2 useless sets of seats!

Is it both the back and front feet that need transplanted?

Yep back and front or front and back or all four...

The feet on the gen 7 seats will not line up with the holes. An easy way to see what I mean is to take a surf seat out which takes about 2mins and offer a gen 7 seat in the car. It's close but as they say ... No cigar....

What you will see is the rails are the same. Get a weld shop to do the job..it's
much easier as cutting the feet off is a pain.
