I got the seat direct from Corbeau Ryan. Carbon Kevlar Revolution £650 each. The GRP versions are £550. You can probably get a 2010 seat from Balance motorsport of somewhere cheaper mind.
Will do Chris.
Love it fletch!! Can't wait to see itwe need some more meets!
I have just got some 16's for the ST! Hopefully ordering my new seats in the next weeks along with coilovers and a new map!!
Good stuff Matt.
Yeah we'll have to meet up soon mate.

I hope I have as much interest in mine when they go up for sale tomorrow!!
V jealous on the seat, ice decided against the pole positions now after trying one today. Bimarco in the burpspeed car was far better, I'd love revolutions but a pita on the road
Yes Dave I have had a lot of interest in the Recaro trendlines. If only everything was a easy to sell as them and trophy turinis!
I will miss the trendlines mind
What was wrong with the Recaro PP's mate?
Mazda 3 MPS Mk1
To be honest mate, the bimarco felt a lot better, and is a third of the price!! Can't justify spending that much mate.
I sat in sir Daves & the burpspeed car in the past week and fitted perfectly. Apart from Daves little legs that is lol
Saying that he was surprised my fat arse fitted in it!

^^^I can't believe you stole my 'Genuine' cup racer tow eye
Big thanks for giving up your saturday afternoon Tim, Chris to work on the rattle box :approve:
Seat is now in but not sitting level, as the OMP subframe doesn't really seem fit for purpose.
I'll buy some more washers, to try and level it up, and sort out a new harness ASAP as I don't have seatbelts fitted atm.
I bought a heatgun yesterday, and got to work on the tar patches, I'll get some pics up later.

Yes mate, thanks a lot for all your help though fella.
I think I am going to pop over to Screwfix later, and buy some more M8 washers and give it another go.
Godspeed also had problems with his OMP subframes, and that they were out by quite a bit too!

The bolts we cut down, i left quite long so you should be able to get quite a few more on there hopefully. Not ideal but will work all the same

Good stuff. It's not ideally, but It'll do for the time being.
I also need to get used to sitting a bit further away from the pedals
No problem, happy to help out. I'll pop some of the progress pics I took in a bit.
I cant remember if the holes we bolted to were the last on the rear of the subframe so you might find you can go a little closer ?
Fletcher

Cheers Tim.
I'm sure I'll get used to it, I do like my seat in a granny driving position

Subframes ftl
Bolt to floor ftw
Could I just drill through the floor pan, and fix the side mounts then?
You can probably mount them like in this thread.

Some pictures of progress made yesterday by Team Anorak Racing AKA Chris, Fletcher and Tim.
Chris and I turned up and Fletcher was still out in the Hilux Cup so I decided to nick his genuine Cup toweye and replace it with my Meganes toweye.
Here's what we started with nice Recaros and carpeted interior.
Chris doesn't take kindly to banter/advice/criticism
Chris under the car struggling with the last bolt which is pita with exhaust in the way.
Recaro out, plastic trim removed, carpet removed/ripped (by Fletcher)
After trip in the R26 to Machine Mart and B&Q, Fletcher purchased a heat gun to remove tar patches and M8 bolts to fit OMP subframe.
Tar patches in boot and under drivers seat removed using the heatgun (excellent for 20 quid) and a chisel
OMP subframe is way out as mentioned above, we packed it up with all the washers we had but still didn't look level.
Finally the seat is fitted (for now)
Not bad progress by Team Anorak Racing, shame the OMP subframe isn't level and Fletcher needs harnesses with snap hooks/eye bolts.
Think options are pack with more washers, bolt side mounts to floor, or purchase new subframes.

Yeah 'proper' buckets are great fella
I think I am going to order a Sabelt cheap 4 point jobbie tonight, so that I can drive the bloody thing soonish!
Thanks for the pics Tim.
*****Todays Progress*****
I have removed all of the interior carpet now, and a load more tar patches (I now have a full carrier bag of heavy tar)
I purchased some more M8 washers to try and adjust the seat, so it sits level but didn't have the time today to fit them. I did adjust the seat, so it sits slighty closer to the pedals/steering wheel.
I have removed the drivers seatbelt too.
Making progress matey!
When you sya that the seat doesnt sit well, does it slant to the side? If so just get it straight using the holes on the sidemount chap, had to do the same with mine and i'm using Cobra subframes! There all pretty pants and you have to just keep on adjusting them until they seem alright.

Yes Nick it does slant to one side mate.
My Dad did suggest adjusting the sidemount holes each side earlier, so they sit level. I'll hopefully have time tomorrow to have another look at it whist it's still daylight.
Yeah just chuck it up a hole front and rear on the left hand side sidemount, will sort your porblems out! Thats how mine was at first, and btw, get rid of the washers on the subframe as thats something not even Failsport would do
p.s. Enquire within should you want some more 'experienced' seat fitters

If I can't sort it, I'll have to pop up and see you and Mike
Yea i did think putting washers on them was a bit rough
Nick would the seat cope with mounting them at different heights ?

Yeah will be fine chap, all the pressure is going to be going to the bottom of the sidemount/on the base subframe. Had it like that on my Cup for ages now and trackdays included and nothings gone wrong (touch wood!).

I'm glad you're experiencing all this pain with the seats :rasp:
It'll make it so much easier when I come to sort a second seat out if I can tap into some friendly CS 1st hand knowledge.
