Guest pharmed Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've heard they fit! Has anyone done this? I'm trying to find seats that will fit my soarer and these cropper up as fitting the mkiv. However I can only find one person who's done it. Thanks A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 They don't fit. They need custom rails/mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) They do fit nice in a mkiv, with some modification. They have a little less support than mkiv seats, but are also lighter. I removed the original brackets of the celica seats and welded mkiv seat brackets under the rails for an easy fitment.

Shane Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) As above, they can be made to fit using a set of john's custom seat mounts that there is a thread about in the for sale section. Not a straight fit though. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?257516-Celica-leather-seat-into-the-Supra&highlight=celica+seats Edited December 31, 2014 by Shane (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually read elsewhere they have more support! How hard was welding the seat rails and swapping them? Ive got a welder friend who can do this. I'm also considering mkiii supra seats as they are lovely! (possibly heavy though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If you have a decent welder and an angle grinder its not that difficult. But its even easier still if you use a set of johndmkiv's custom rails. You also then have your old intact seats to sell on. John's last post suggests he still has some.

Guest pharmed Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I like the sound of those custom rails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I want full manual seats See if you can get hold of a EU Spec passenger seat. Being LHD, it's the right hand seat that is manual. I'm sure someone would be willing to swap a manual seat for an electric one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pharmed Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ooh I like the sound of that. Also the mkiii seats are grey cloth like the rest of my car. Will deffo keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Late, facelift mkiv cloth seats are manual on both sides, and are pretty light. Usually change hands for £50-£100. Be very specific about being manual when buying though, as some people try anchorage this for the.normal facelift electric seats, which are almost worthless. - - - Updated - - - Late, facelift mkiv cloth seats are manual on both sides, and are pretty light.

Guest pharmed Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ah that sounds nice! What patterns does the cloth come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pharmed Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 And when you say late what years do you mean??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think they're 1998 on or so, and have a matching cloth rear. The pattern is pretty naff, IIRC JamieP had a set in 'the black beast' for a while, that he had trimmed in leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
