'aftermarket' seats have people used in the SW20 ?(because they're probably plentiful/cheap) as I've heard they're very comfortable. I've no idea whether they'll fit in the sw20 or what rails will be needed.?
(any other gt86 owners here?), and as they're a more common car are a bit more available. (i've seen 2014 seat sets on ebay for £500)- what's special about the mr2 rail/seat combination ? Is fitting GT86 seats straightforward ? Do I retain my sw20 rails ? Do I need the GT86 rails ? Will the seat be too high ? ? Anyone done that ? £460 delivered. craig wrote:Noble M12 seats come up on eBay every now and again.
Mine cost
Before these I had Evo 7 recaros fitted.
Food for thought.
£460 *IS* cheap - thought they'd be more.? (I'm a bit new to this)- http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k235874537 - not sure what you need to other types. If your DIY mounting fails in a crash, you're xxxxx.gavsdavs wrote:craig wrote:Noble M12 seats come up on eBay every now and again.

Any guidance on what rails you ended up using for the noble seats or the evo7 seats

I'm sure he'd be happy to answer your questions. Sit nice and low in the car, I was very jealous!

Personally I'm not a fan of DIYing it and hacking up stock rails to fit unless you really know what you're doing.
(sort of) translate Kanji sites but it amazes me how you shop on them.Race Idiot wrote:Recaro Speed/SR's are very nice road seats, my passenger seat is still an SR.
My drivers seat at the moment is a Sparco Pro 2000 which bolted up straight to a Bride FG-Type Rail

My Recaros are mounted on a set of these and again bolted straight up.

- I have driven TLFs "T2" and it has firm, bucket-y type seats (i think they are sparcos), and I have a few comments.- They're a bit small for me. I'm a fat lad.- The hold is fantastic and is what you'd want on a track, but is not really what I want - they are a bit hard compared to mine and are not as comfortable for doing lots of miles. - i suspect an OEM seat isn't going to be quite so firm as a proper bucket seat and should still be comfortable for doing lots of miles.- is it true they're also sold in different sizes/widths ? I did a 2 hour journey to Donington and felt fine. It's a bit more of a pain to look around/blindspot check etc with them. Plus I ended up getting a removable boss so it wasn't so difficult to get out of the car. I always fancied a set of the red ones from an Integra Type R for some reason.Race Idiot wrote:
The Recaro SR/Speeds are a great upgrade to the std seats though.
- I am leaning towards a set which already appear in lots of vehicles and were often OEM fitted to mr2s. It's good they come on lots of other JDM stuff. Much better than the std mr2 seats.Race Idiot wrote:I've only sat in a GT86 for a little while but the seats seemed very nice.
still in the garage getting stuff done, we have a 2016 1.2L suzuki swift courtesy car. It's about as powerful as a hair dryer but beggars can't be choosers.(they are actually pretty nice to sit in and we often do pretty long drives in mine which can get hard work in worn out seats), I took the opportunity to say "So would you agree to me renewing the seats in my car....?" Before she knew what was happening she'd said yes and agreed to me spending yet more money on the 25 year old money pit.? 
(120 miles each way in the same day) journeys and never had any aches or pains. They are one of the things I miss from the car.MartinF wrote:The GT86 seats are the most comfortable stock seats I have ever sat in.
I did many longish
? I like the endorsement but it might not be the same if you're under 5 foot 6
