mrboost Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I have got some recaro seats and was going to fit them to the supra, but can't seem to source base frames. Any chance of a pic, of the base frame (sub frame) with anyone with the new style recaros in ? or does anyone no where i could source these or get them made ? recaro UK say no Toyota Supra has them ?

rpearson Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I also have a Recaro's drivers seat fitted in my beast. As the Jap guy who had the car before me was quite small (guess as seat does not go back very far) I was going to take the whole lot apart this weekend and take a look how it bolts together to see if I can get about another 2"s leg room. I shall take a few pics and post them on a web server for you. Hope this might be a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboost Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yep. That would be good. I properly (hoping) I can knock up some base frames, my great ideas at first have been slashed. Orginally I wanted to fit these seats (supra seats are pants, keep sliding out of them). So I wanted to keep the drivers side fully electronic and just swap the seats of using the same base frames. This is not possible, so i will except a manual operation seat, but I can see no way that i can actually fit the seat. I ideally would like a picture of your base frame and where it mounts. Don't mind drilling the floor, but seats are usually fitted to the chassis or a solid structure. Your help would be apprecatited.

rpearson Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 pic 6 - front screw point. I hope these have been of some value. I am sorry they do not show much in the way of technical data and offsets. The only thing I had to hand was a tape measure. May be someone else has the exact details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpearson Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 And for those that want a laught. This is a pic of what I found under my seat when I took it out!! Some; - Jap Money, - English Money, - Wire, - Connectors, - two fags and lighter (one from Japan and one from Julian [Japanese-Direct-Imports Ltd] - A little black box - must be important?? - A serious spillage of some kind? Oh yes and a flashing light thingy that lights up when your mobile phone goes off. The things you find hay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Ahhh the mysterious black box that somebody else was trying to identify. I wonder what it is, considering this is the drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpearson Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I wondered the same thing when I took the seat out. It smells like candy so I guess it is a sweet drink of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
