Re: Who has aftermarket seats in their mk1?

I've got some Sparco basemount buckets on universal sliding runners fitted to a homemade subframe. It's OK although ideally the whole setup could do with being redone to allow the seat to move slightly further back. Car should be at home this week so I'll try and get some pics if I get a chance. Pi...

Re: Who has aftermarket seats in their mk1?

As you've found from my link, Donna the seat ended up being just too high for my liking. So this is what we ended up doing: http://www.mr2.net/trackdayqueen/seatrefit.htm I just went with a static floor mount as there was no way we could get the seat low enough with a sliding rail. You could fit MK...

Re: Who has aftermarket seats in their mk1?

Mk3 seats fit with a little runner modification and look great, i've fitted these quite a few times now. All other aftermarket bucket seats need a lot of runner work. Thanks Paul, just trader my Roadster in for a 370Z and didnt really get on with those seats either tbh, especially in leather. They ...

Who has aftermarket seats in their mk1?

I cant take it any longer so im buying a Sparco seat locally and hope to adapt the standard runners to make the seat f...
