recaro seats
recaro seats
Basically, I want to get rid of the heavy ******* heated front seats in my IS200 and replace them with some lighter recaro seats. Anyone know the best way to do this? I don't mind buying some knackered old seats, as I'm getting the whole interior reupholstered anyway.
Any help would be good, I lack the facilities to weld myself but if anyone has done this in the midlands area I'd be very interested. I'm not after race buckets, I need something that will still be comfortable enough for a long drive.

I did think about buying the drivers and copying it for the passenger but then a passenger cane along for a good price.
Though must be honest not seen any since.
You could get a spare set of seats from a 's' model or altezza that aren't motorised. Then modify the frames to fit your recaroes?

If any members have the cloth seats, I expect they may be up for a swap for your heated and electric leather/suede ones too!

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:I was going to suggest what Stav did. Get Altezza or IS200 S cloth seats. They will be lighter anyway, with no airbag/heating/motors etc. so either run with them, or butcher them for the mounting to go on another seat of your choice.
