Sparco Bucket Seats

[ModMySam]

I have recently bought 2 Sparco Torino bucket seats and want to put them in my Clio.

After sending 2 emails to demon tweeks at the start of the week asking what frames I need I have not received a reply.
Today I called them told them the car make, model etc. and the guy said I need these frames (follow link) and that the original sliders will fit.

However when I type my car details myself It says I need Sparco sliders.
So my question is WTF do I need!!??

 

[ModMySam]

Surely if I can use the original sliders I don't need to buy subframes?

Does your bucket seat have a slider attached to it already?

If so just get some OMP subframes.

You can't use the original sliders.

You'll need -

1. Seat
2. Runner
3. Subframe

 

[Archtects]

You need sub frame as well? I belive got can get away with using the original Clio ones?

 

[l33th3tr33]

No, they're welded to the seat base I believe.

No, they're welded to the seat base I believe.

The French have to make things so awkward, who puts the seat bolts under the car seriously.

Renault.

It depends on how the seat is mounted mate.

If it's side mounted then you'd need side mounts and a subframe obviously. With the option of sliders if you wanted them.

If it's base mounted. Like my current seats are. Then you can bolt them straight to the subframes, like I do. Again with the option of sliders in between them if you wanted.

I don't think it would be possible using the standard subframes. Unless you were extremely handy with fabrication, and had a lot of time to play around with it..

 

[l33th3tr33]

The seat would sit mega high as the height adjustment in the standard subframe sits up in the seat, so if you put it directly on top then your head would probably be on the ceiling.
