Ph2 Trophy seats

[maximusiv]

Evening peoples, Ive recently purchsed a PH2 with trophy seats in. They dont offer me enough support so im looking for advice on 2 things. 1 what would they be worth they are a healthy 9/10 in condition. 2 what is the suggestion to replace them with? The car is predomently a B road blaster with the odd track day.

They’re pretty much perfect for what you need. Very middle of the road seat unless you want something more hardcore

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I can't advise on what to replace with, but I will agree that they are crap support wise, especially on track

 

[Coops Mk1]

I find them fine, much better than standard seats and lots of lumbar support which is great for me, that's including on track

don't get me wrong they're no bucket seat but for day to day use and occasional trackday I realty rate them, maybe they just suit my body type (beanpole)

i came out of a 172 with oreca cup seats in so for me the trophy's literally offer no support! I'll bear with them and see how it runs.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Yeah my track car has oreca wrap arounds in it, very 'hold you on placey' but wouldn't want to use them every day and the recaro hold me better than standard so for me, decent enough compromise and straight bolt in so retain all the practicality of the car

What number Trophy were they out of? If it’s still a going concern the current owner may want to reunite them, which may help you price them - you could literally ask for anything

i was never a fan of them, the recaros in the 197/200 however were perfect, and fit in a 172!

agreed, the 197/200 recaros are much much better, but also more expensive!

A 9/10 pair of trophy recaro's could fetch £700/800 though. People pay that fir mint megane ones and then need frames to fit them!
Op may be best selling them and then buying something more suitable to his needs.

I think the arse has fell out of the Recaro Trendline. My mate recently had a set that were absoultely immaculate for sale for £650, took 3 months to sell and i think he took around £500. Nearly bought them to replace the weathered ones in the Kangoo, but seemed like a waste

I think they are a great seat for fast road/occasional track, especially the half leather/alcantara. Full leather are a bit slippy. Try a CG lock on your seatbelt for more support if needs be, and set the seat up no low rider laid back

Agreed, need to keep them upright to get the support, if you set them to 19 year old drug dealer setting then they're not going to work
