Recaro seats

[anthonymayow]

Just a question do the recaro's from the 197/200's fit in the 172/182's with same recaro brackets as trend lines?

Does anyone know how they look? Because they are quite tall!

 

[Flat Eric]

Nope. Not on the same brackets. Not as far as I know anyway.

I think PM Steve @ R-Sports as he had some in a flame red 172 before iirc

 

[anthonymayow]

Ok thanks pal, so they do fit but different brackets?

 

[Flat Eric]

Yes as far as I'm aware, it's been done a couple of times

they don't fit- you have to fabricate runners & mounts etc.

The ones I had were new from capitol seating with the base & runners for a 2001-2004 Clio MK2.

[anthonymayow]

You fabricated them yourself?

 

[anthonymayow]

You got a link for them recaros? Guessing capital have best price?

Basically you have to buy aftermarket Recaros from Capitol seating/demon tweeks etc. These seats have a flat mounting plate so you can then buy a Recaro to clio subframe mounting kit.

The seats from a mk3 have their own specific mountings.

Cheers, do Capitol sell the mounting plate as well?

I'd have thought, I bought some aftermarket trendlines and bases from them for a mk2 years ago

 

[R-Sport.]

I paid TRADE price for the seats & runners etc.

1.6k- the RRP was 2.2k.

Another recaro question, anyone know what seats fit but can use the normal three point seatbelt??

IIRC you can run seatbelts with most of the Recaro seats/ race shells.

All of the recliners work with normal belts. Then for buckets you want an ABE marked seat. I believe the apex and pole position fixed seats both have this as an option. As fitted with stock belts in the gt3 and TTQS.

Cool - cheers for the info. Liking the recaro speed, even though it looks a tad 80s!
