about 2 weeks back i bought some black suede recaro's from justjap.com, after taking the passenger side seat out it was realised that the recaros were approx 2" thinner either side than the stock magna seats, so custom rails had to be built (thats not me in the pics, its my mate that built me the rails) so once the rails were build, 5mm steel across to hold the seats in place, they were installed, and you can see the finished product in the pics ive posted. tell me what you think.
cheers,

looks cool.. when you getting them engineered?

when i have a spare $300 for it, atm im using K&N seat covers so as not to attract too much attention.

hahah.. says the guy running on 20's super tiny tyres and overly lowered suspension..

I doubt he will be getting them engineered.

P.S They look nice.

1" lowered from stock isnt overly low :D its all legal...

and the wheels can be removed in mins haha

point taken though

Gremlin realised he just got told lol dont worry mate we still love ur car

Nah nice seats mate, good work! How much more comftable are they?

thanks :D
there HEAPS more comfortable, they were a bit stiff but now that they've been used for a week or 2 there alot more comfortable now, they hold me in alot more when cornering, i just wish my suspension could keep up lol

How much did the recaro's set you back? What were they from?

brand new

They look pimp! I think they look even better in a 2nd gen then they do in a 3rd gen. IMHO.

They look real neate, hate to break it to you mate but they are recaro style not actual recaros, do look exactly the same tho, the site had me fooled till i read style.

Still overall look very good and are great value for money.

brand new, $400 from www.justjap.com (http://www.justjap.com)
ehehe

Recaro's will set you back 900+ a chair :)

They are still nice though.

lol yeah i know there not real recaro's would cost me an extra $90 to get the stitching across the top of both ;)
imitation black sued recaros ;)

did you compensate for the magna's uneven mounting points when u made the frame?

cos thats the problem that i had.. with both sets of seats....

and yes.....

real recaros will set you back at least 900 per seat!

yes it was compensated for, ripped the original rails off another TR magna, welded the 5mm strips to them, then set the neaw rails to them :)

how much power increase did you gain by this super cool mod? :bowrofl:

awsome seats dude, good stuff!

Nah, seriously, the seats look good, and if they're comfortable as well - that's a big bonus. :thumbsup:

TheDifference, those seats look incredible.
