so i have started to do some bits to the v6 mr2 and the 1 real mod was the seat although they are in fantastic condition for

a 23 yr old car i didnt like the seat as it had obviuosly over time and bodies

, sagged so i looked at leather

( not good enough condition and prob with the same issue or change them for say gt86

etc

, but i love the seats lumbar

, bolster adjust etc so i decided to remove the drivers seat and see what i could do.

tools

14 mm socket

flat and philipps driver

small pry bar

long nose and standard mole grips

stanley blade or sciccors

and a seat foam from a garden chair

(dont tell the wife

)



first remove seat

.

.

.14 mm socket

, dont forget to remove the boot fuel release unit.

.

.

.

1 flat head under the

boot release pulls and a philips that holds it to the floor

(seat

) mount

then place on a work bench

starting at the front there are 3 brass rings that need to be prized open and kept for replacing

.

.

.



then with the mole grips flatten out the 2 corners of the

large metal pad held by the 4 x spings to ease the springs off on 1 side so you can put the foam under



then cut the foam pad to size and slide under the remaining metal pad with the seat pad warning connector on

, all the way to the front of the seat

.

.

then with any remaing

off cuts

( i had 2 long lenths.

.

.

)

i put these under the spring pad

(at the rear

) to keep the rear of the sqaub up as well

.

.



then

reverse of removal

.

.

dont foget when you bent the 3 brass rings to secure the front of the squab to the seat frame

, you have replaced

, to turn them around

() into the foam section.

.as if a later date you loose a pound and rumage under your seat you wont cut yourself couse these are bloody sharp!!!!

seat is now prob firmer than it was when new and it cost pennies

.
