U2U mak-turbo on TGTT James, I think he'd modify your standard rails for aftermarket seats, and hes up your way too!

Hope that helps!

[Glanza_Ragger]

I want some new seats and rails too... really want some brides but there uber cash

[Idrees]

They certainly are, unfortunately!

[Glanza_Ragger]

Knowing my pidgeon shit welding skills, if i fabricated some frames id fly through the windscreen in a crash

Phil has Universal frames for his but I can never pronounce tha name of the place he got them from

I might just get one Bride bucket and let the passenger be thrown about

[Bourkey]

so no one actually makes subframes for starlets???

[ecksjay]

yes, bride and recaro do, they'll be around 80-175 quid, depending where you get them from and what you want.

i'm looking into bringing some more in, but they'll be a similar price as above.

Got any pics. Where did you get it from

[Nanglebadger]

no I've no pics of mine man sorry, just one where it bolts to the floor at the front.

i got it from my local motorsport accessories shop, but Carnoissuer also do them so i would guess Demon tweeks do also! just a univasral subframe, bolted staright through the factory holes, but had to have an A-frame welded on in order to pass MOT.

What do you mean by an A-Frame? Ive had a look on Carnoissuer but i cant find any universal ones. They are all tailored unless im looking in the wrong place

[Nanglebadger]

i'll see if i can take a pic for u tomorrow man, all i know is my mechanic welded one onto each subframe for me for MOT purposes, i never looked to see wot the hell he was on about, just took his word for it.

i'll try to get a pic tomorrow dude!

hmmmmmm odd, see i have a carnoissuer branch near me when i bought it, owned by a shower of pricks, never go near them now other than for their powerflow franchise, shower of wankers!

sorry im not much help man, the second universal sub i got was from a differnet shop in Bllymena called MotorSport and spares but their website isnt runnin yet, its honestly just a universal frame.

[Nanglebadger]

that looks like it man!

Yes Konig also make them, but can you justify paying £200 for a pair of frames which may only fit the Konig seat range which hasnt got the biggest choices around.

Some Bride frames will fit Corbeau Recliners and maybe more dont ask me what model frames though

[ecksjay]

bride/recaro frames are flat bases, so they'll fit pretty much any flat bottomed seat with little to no fabrication work needed.

[Glanza_Ragger]

Yeah i may end up buying the bride frames, I was lookin at buying the ZetaIII buckets from bride.. But at 300 a seat its a lotta cash lol..

The money i could save buyig come cobras or 2nd hand recaros could go on harnesses

but i wanna keep it jdm

[ecksjay]

recaro is close enough to jdm if you get the right ones. ;] not the brand itself, but the usage.

[Glanza_Ragger]

lol im not keen on recaro seats my self.

They were way to easily..

Nice lookers.. But shite material.Amount of rs turbo seats ive repaired for mates in unreal ecks.

I quite like some sparco evo seats. they look spanking

[Tommy_G]

if my dad breaks his old beemer i may nick the seats from that...my seats r flat atm....either tht or GT seats

those frames are only 30! cheap...dude if your spending a bit more get s2000 one mmm

are you joking?

mate, my dad does it for a living, and the ONLY seats he recommends are recaro or bride.

if you said sparco to him, he'd laugh in your face, seriously.

alot of old recaro recaros will need repairing, ofcourse they will, because the material is like, 10+ years old (and is only a fine cloth to begin with, to aid fabric breathing etc), they're definately the finest though, especially if you get comparing them to other seats.

sparco, corbeau, cobra, rage etc etc, all absolute shite (he's had them all apart, so knows what he's talking about).

rs turbos are old, so as above, thats why the seats will have degraded, any seat will after use when they're old.

you chuffing goober.

[Nanglebadger]

@Bourkey, had a look under my seats but could see no sign of any welding haven taken place man sorry, dunno wot the hell my mechanic was on about.

[Glanza_Ragger]

I just hate recaros with a passion..

They belong in fords and veedubs
