Recaros would be cool if they weren't finished in a fabric pattern that I last saw in 1982. Black leather does it for me any day :eyebrows:

The Supra's Recaros are great! So much better than the crap stock seats. Leather is ok if you like that look but they work even less well than the stock fabric seats. Plus most leather seats in Supes are very old looking and cracked.
Gimme the Recaros any day.


Lovely looking car there Paul. Non-VVTi is it? What reg will it be, R or P?

My leathers are shiny, comfy and look clean & well smart. Them recaros just don't do it for me, tho they may function better if you're sliding round corners fast etc (which I don't tend to do if I can help it).
Nevertheless anyone looking for a nice car really needn't look any further than that one.

It does depend on how you drive it and if you do track days yes but the Recaro's are way more comfy than the std seats, trust me. My car had cloth seats,slidey and unformatable. Then leather, even more slidey and uncomfortable. Then Recaros very comfy and hold you in very well to. Now I have Corbeau Pro Series, not really meant for long journeys, my arse was killing after about an hour in them! But trade off is you are properly jammed in there, no movement at all and they look the business.
All down to personal preference at the end of the day though.

Its a non VVTi yes, its a March 97 so cant register it until then, should be a P reg I think.

Hows your car going these days?

Sweet car!! id be another interested buyer if she was still around.

Few questions if you wouldnt mind?

Was this a jap spec with uk upgrades??
The full hide cream leather seats in the uk spec models, can this be got easily and roughly how much?

NEWBIE :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Paul Whiffin

Its a Jap spec with UK style brakes which are optional over there, std on some models/years.

UK spec leather is very rare in good condition these days, better off just getting them trimmed up I'd say.

Cheers
