Hi,

I've been offered some factory-fitted Recaro seats from a Subaru Impreza - I haven't seen them but apparently the mounting plates are welded onto the rails.

Could I cut them off and make some mounting plates myself or is it easier to but a kit designed for the aftermarket versions and try to weld them on?

I'm not sure of the exact model - I have asked them to write it down for me.

Cheers,

Gareth
PS. Car is '85 IROC

Gareth,
Im sure they will fit without much of a problem.I have Cobra seats which I adapted to fit the standard runners.Its quite an easy job.If you want more info,just email me.

Wow cool,

they make an interesting alternative to 4th gen seats.

did it cost a shead load, sure makes the interior look classy

hey just realised, this is an all limey post so far!

Welcome gattrill, this is a very active community!l

Sure is! (oringinally)

The Impreza seats are rather nice. Not very soft but they hold you in really well.

Hi,

I have been reading this forum for ages now - searching past posts has fixed all my problems up to now!

I am at the Guildford Cruise most months if any of you go - Blue '85 (B-reg) IROC, though I've just got an ex-cop Caprice that arrives this Sunday - I will probably be driving that around quite a bit now.

The Recaro's were fitted as part of an upgrade by Prodrive - more info and pic here - the person bought them off ebay and paid about £450, I think they cost £1500 originally! The seats also have a bit of heritage - the person who sold them to him was the father of that famous F1 designer bloke who specs the cars...
