j_jza80 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't suppose you want to sell the rails separately do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 If they are definitely OEM, I say that as they don't appear to be, then you could probably ask a fair few quid to be honest. Really good OEM ones will easily sell for 5-600 with rails, as these are re-trimmed and absolutely mint I would say that would be the bare minimum, but it's fairly unknown territory. If they aren't OEM I'm not really sure to be honest, the OEM appeal often demands the premium. The seats are £700 new though, without rails, so I would probably say at least £500 with rails. BTW, OEMs are easy to spot. The guides are cloth (this may not be the case here due to the re-trim) and the back tilt adjustment is only on one side of the seat, rather than both.

Benjy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Al, if you swap those for the other ones I saw you getting all excited about, I'm gonna kick you in the bracket with your own shoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't suppose you want to sell the rails separately do you? Sorry bud, would be harder to sell the seats if I do that BTW, OEMs are easy to spot. The guides are cloth (this may not be the case here due to the re-trim) and the back tilt adjustment is only on one side of the seat, rather than both. Good shout, these mustn't be OEM as they have the tilt adjustment on both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Reaaaally? That said you have got a pink convertible. There's no accounting for taste!! [emoji3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Reaaaally? That said you have got a pink convertible. There's no accounting for taste!! [emoji3] Yeah, I like them in a different way. And they're not the usual cheap bucket seats people get. And if I want to use harnesses properly I'd need a better seat Plus the way my car is looking, my recaros would be suited better in others cars than mine.

abtin90 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sorry for the off topic post but you really need to get a thread up with pictures of the car Al, or atleast update you garage. I'm keen to see what changes you've made and how it looks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 It's better in some respects that these aren't OEM. You can buy all of the replacement bolsters for the regular Recaro Speeds. The upper foams aren't available for the OEM Supra seats, which makes repairing them a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sorry bud, would be harder to sell the seats if I do that Depends what way you look at it As the seats are universal without the rails, you could advertise them on any car forum They would suit an S14a 200sx well, for example. If you do get some interest in the seats alone, please keep me in mind for the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good shout, these mustn't be OEM as they have the tilt adjustment on both sides I think Scott is referring to the round knob thing to adjust the seats rather than the little tug which you pull to lift the seat forward. Pretty sure mine has the lever to lift the seat on both sides and they are OEM Speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I sold these to TRD Rob when he had your car. They are OEM Supra Confetti Recaros that I bought in a sorry state from JODY_T, and then sold them to Rob. Rob had them re-trimmed in black vinyl I think.

Ah there we go, Thanks for the info To be honest, J is right. The OEMs were murder to get looking good. I got new fake leather recaros and they looked so much better. I'd keep them if I were you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
