Im new here :P

Post by Spike28278 »

Hi!

I've been reading this forum for a long tie and figured it's probably about time to join.

I own a manual steel silver 1994 GR that i bought for around $1000 in pretty bad condition, but after about two months of work I was able to get her running properly again.

I love this car, i don't thin there has been a weekend i haven't been working on it

I'm currently planning on changing the seats to some black SaaS Vortex seats and wondering if anyone had any advice as with changing seats?

    Welcome to the club. Post some pics of the car and a bit of info of what you did to get it running.

    As far as seats, I am not sure however I believe it has been covered before if you can find the posts

    WTTC..

    Re: Seats

    Off the shelf standard or universal rails will not work. Will either have to:
    1) Mod the stock rail to fit the seat
    2) Get a FTO specific afternarket seat rail (Recaro made it)
    3) Hope Saas made one to fit FTO and seat

    A quick and easy way I got arround this in another car, was a flat piece of steel for front and back of seat. Drilled holes where the stock seat lined up, drilled another set of holes where the bolts were to go on Recaro Seat. Engineer signed off on it too.. Added a bit of weight as I wanted it to be sturdy though. Lolz..
    I just had to add it ......
