Blue Icarian Wings Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I think people take a hacksaw to there existing frames Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paul w Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 You can get adapter bars for many seats from the manufacturer of the seats.They may be universal ones for the starlet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 yeah, most people modify a universal frame, as the starlet ones are riveted on. and i think you can only jdm subframes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 just mod your standerd subframes mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 there arent standard subframes.there are runners that are attached to the seat, they're PART of the seat, i.e you've gotta angle grind the cunts off, and even then you're still left with thin jagged metal which you've somehow gotta cross brace and form back into their original shape (because they'll no longer be in the original position, just flopping about).If you're very handy with a welder, then you'll be fine, if not, then its a pain in the ass.

Nanglebadger Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Universal subframes, weld on an A-frame, and bolt it thro the factory bolt holes! My drivers one came from Carnoisseur!CarnoisseurI just ordered a universal frame with the saet, thers a franchise shop 20miles up the raod in Ballymena, thats where i got mine from. Second seat came from Demon Tweeks, and got the subframe in a different motorsport shop, again a universal one, both had to have a-frames welded to them for MOT purposes.Phil.
