Recaro seats in v6

[yellow182jon]

Could you get recaro seats in a v6, as the space looks tight.

 

[GinandGasoline]

yes - Jeremy Townsend had them in his Vee

Fred has Cobra's in his (Misano's i think)

 

[Peperami]

Yep, cant see how they take up any more room than standard seats though mate?

That's wicked they would look great when i start looking properly for liquid v6

they would look so good in a v6 as they do on a 182.


What i was planning was fitting them to mine at the mo, and when i sell my 182, i'lll put statard seats back in a move them into the v6.

shame the seating position is still crap with them!

are you talking about the recaro's ? Or all seats ? What are the misano's like ?

 

[Revels]

Theyre nice, but you'll struggle to get in the back.

 

[cat171]

lol - unless you wanna sit on the engine !

i'm on about the recaros, the seating position is a WHOPPING 10mm lower, waste of time IMO (had to be within 10mm to avoid having to have new crash testing done)

misanos are around 70mm lower from memory

 

[cat171]

Do you rate the misanos over the recaro's ? I can't belive that the recaros are only 1cm lower (I see why, now you've told us)

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah hence why i have them, and plus i got the deal of the century on a pair of black leather/black carbon misanos (rrp is £1900ish, i paid way less than 50% of that price!)

 

[cat171]

You got a pic of them Fred ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i have the gay pose pic that was taken for PGTi (ignore my pose! that took us about 2 hours to take as we kept laughing!)

thats the only pic i have of them

 

[cat171]

lol at the pose, thats pics not really showing me much mate.

 

[Fred@BTM]

well you can kinda tell the seating position is lower if you look at where the steering wheel is compared to the shoulder height of the seat

 

[makavelli]

ive got a pic of misanos in mike v6 if that helps?
i will dig them out now

 

[cat171]

Yeah if you could please. I wanna see what they look like - I prob won't even mess about with the vee when I get it, but you never know.

 

[makavelli]

these are my misanos when they were in mikes v6, freds are the leather versions

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Fred - Your seats look very nice mate.
Have you got some pics of the seats without you doing a catalogue pose in them mate?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'll take some next week, i can send you an Autographed copy of that pic too
