EJ Taylor 22 Posted September 11, 2014 So basically ive wanted a set of the Recaro seats you get in the Jap imported Integras and Civics for like 2 years, with intentions to re-trim/ re-furb and fit to the C this specific seat will enable me to run harness's and still have fully adjustable seats, in-keeping with the contradicting race car/ luxury theme i have going on, Half decent sets going from anywhere between 500-700 and ****ty ones about 200-300, recently i found out they also used these seats in imported/ high specified evo 2/3s.... so today, i was doing my daily Recaro search.. and BAM! these were up for 50 starting bid and 70 buy it now. so i did not hesitate to click buy it now! (baring in mind i could sell the frames alone for more!!!!!!) Some Auto Upholsters in oxford (who are awesome) have quoted me £250 a seat to re bolster and re-trim in matching grey leather to my interior and my close friend who owns Hond-R tuning is getting me the foams on the cheap. So ive managed to achieve custom brand new trimmed leather Recaro seats for under £600 LESS than what it would of cost me to get a second hand half decent set... OVER THE MOON! and cant wait to get them finished and fitted :D Here they are: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Recaro-seats-/201164369848?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=2j6MIcg2eD8ucGMdz%252BECUHEu2N0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc And as an example this is what they go for! **** ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONA-INTEGRA-CIVIC-TYPE-R-DC2-EK9-RED-RECARO-SEATS-NO-RAILS-ITR-CTR-DB8-VTI-EK4-/231265563323?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35d88072bb Good ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONA-INTEGRA-CIVIC-TYPE-R-DC2-EK9-RED-RECARO-SEATS-NO-RAILS-ITR-CTR-DB8-VTI-EK4-/251497348769?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a8e68fea1 Basically bargain of the year! (this also means my mint condition corrado grey seats will be up for grabs once these are fitted too, they are literally mint with no bolster sag or leather damage!)

EJ Taylor 22 Posted September 11, 2014 Good seats those. Your driver's one is pretty f'cked though :lol: Looking forward to seeing them retrimmed! yer that exactly what i wanted though, i can get the bolsters cheap as chips! and a full re-trim was guna be done regardless on condition so given that they are ideal! im thinking grey leather to match my inside, with a oxblood Recaro logo and stitching along seems, then paint the cage the same red and use the same colour alcantara for detail works on the audio install!!!! :afro: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
