tooley Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 i can see im not going to get much joy in trawling the for sale sections unless i check every 5mins so i was just wondering if anyone else has ever tried fitting them from another vehicle. ive seen so many going on ebay from other marques and for a massively cheaper price why is it supra ones go for so much.

JustGav Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Have a look at the price for a set of factory recaros for something like a civic type-r....They aren't as bad as you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 My recaros will prob be for sale as I can't fit in the car with the roll cage and helmet etc, I will have to go bucket seat flat on the floor to give me headroom, check out my build thread in projects if you fancy some alcantara recaros to just drop in on runners that work perfectly.

caseys Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm sure people have taken seats from Evos and put them in? http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=215601&highlight=evo+seat Also Dude aren't yours from an Evo?? Or were those you were selling from an Evo 7/8 some other set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooley Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 its all about the look yours are the perfect seat but ive been hankering after a set of those leather clad jurgen finshed masterpieces ever since i saw those piccies of some last august...thats why i asked about set from other cars as the cost of getting them done is going to add £400 to the cost of them anyway. if yours had a black finish on the seat part i would probably get away with it but as its blue and my car is silver it wouldnt quite go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
