Hello mates!

 

I'll be changing my front seats this weekend and I really need some help with this shit.

 

Can you please post some pictures at how you installed the new seats, everything is appreciated.

 

How did you mount the chair? Into the standard attachments? Or did you create new ones?

 

Please help this dirty swede right ahead!

What seats are you installing ?

 

Geting the old ones out is straightforward enough:

 

passenger side:

 

Slide the seat all the way back and remove the 2 front bolts (14mm ?)

 

Now slide the seat all the way forward and remove the 3 rear bolts, 2 either side as up front and one set in to the transmission tunnel.

 

Lift the seat up slightly and unplug the connection.

 

It is the same operation on the drivers side although from memory there are 2 plugs on the drivers side and it is a lot heavier too so watch the sills and doors and your back :D

 

Point to note: you will need power in order to move the drivers seat forward and backwards.

Thanks mate!

 

So should I use the standard attachments to mount my new seats?

 

The seats are similiar to the Sparco ones called Evo 2.

 

How did you solve the problem with the seat belts on each side? Did you use the standard attachments or did you create new ones?

 

Please post pictures!!

Here you see the stock seat removed with the attached seat belt clip, asyou can see the entire seat and subframe are attached as one

Here is my aftermarket seat attached the a separate Recaro sub frame which bolts to the existing holes in the floor and transmission tunnel

This is the seat with a set of harnesses to avoid the need for the stock seat belt
