EVO Recaro seats fitting (how?)

[nabassu]

Hello!
I want to ask, how to fit EVO 9 recaros into galant?
To those who ask, rear seats and side pannels don't fit at all.
Please help me!

there is a vr4 recaro rail part number i don't know if they fit evo 9 though they do fit evo 5

Jump on yahoo japan, find the brackets you need and then find someone to send them to Poland for you. Jesse Streeter might do it as he's based in Japan. You'd have to email him first I guess.

I can confirm that ADM evo 8 seats will bolt to the stock VR4 recaro rails once you make the bolt holes on the rails a little bigger (5mm)

do you already have the evo 9 seats? if you do what are the dimensions of the mounting holes on the seat, i can check it against my evo 8 ones for you

i'd love evo 9 recaros... sat in a friends evo 9 (nice, modified) the other day... good luck fitting them, interested to hear how it goes and if they do bolt on.

I'm after someone to fit my EVO 7 seats now as my mate who was going to fit them said he didn't want to as he didn't have the cert for me to get them legally engineered. He said it would probably take him a few hours, and decent amount of metal work was required but I imagine I wont be paying too much to get my set installed by someone else anyways.

You have evo 7 seats now Luke? What happened to those other recaros?

 

[Mortz]

Those are the ones i'm on about. GSR or EVO seats or whatever they are. I'm not too sure. They were made in 2001 so i was assuming 2001 EVO 7. Jumping the gun a bit i know

I have made custom seat rail adapters designed by our engineer at work.

You will need universal rails tho, you can get them form your local auto place.

All you need to do is measure length ways and width ways of the bolt pattern on the floor pan of your car you get hole-stud dimensions. using those dimensions, make adapter as per drawing, and bolt your seat and rails to adapter.

Please note your seats wont be legal yet, but are legal spec so all you would need to do get them certified, which wouldn't be hard.

I should note also the reason for the dimensions not being final is because on more than one occasion, ive measured the holes on other cars and they are slightly different, which would mean if you were to make them exact to drawing , they would not fit! So please measure your car floor pan dimensions, adjust drawing to suit, remembering it is symmetrical, around the holes, so adjust material lengths to suit.

If you wish, you can give me your dimensions and I can update drawing specifically for you!

Cheers

Usually they would look at them and think it was factory.

I can made custom rials based on stock galant/vr-4 manual rials.
Made my second pair today.
It's fairly easy, but as i recall, You guys have a lot of "legal" issues along the way
My conversion is visible, unless you cover the lower rials with some kind of carbon/pvc/ABS whatever.
All You need is pair of stock galant seats (to destroy), and whatever RECARO You like (based on 4 standart points, like in EVO).
PM if in need.
Cheers!

thanks captain obvious, your smart comments are always so welcome.... Was on my phone so it wasn't so plain to see.

A simple "I'm on my phone so I can't see" then would have sufficed, otherwise it is pretty plainly obvious where he is located, & my comment would have been invalid.

Not everyone wins at the internet like you Brad. Got better things to do than be a TROLL.

Come on here to talk about VR4s, not have my post judged because I asked a question.
