Hi,

have seen these
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1040275

They had this stye recaro seat in the bridge of last ship i was on, and their very comfortable. Is it possible to get adapter rails for the crx for older recaros? i know they exist for the newer type recaros.

cheers

I put a set of the old stlye recaros in an old nova I had.
I made adaptor rails out of a lenght of 5mm steel.
Quite easy to do!

They are the same bolt pattern as new Recaros they are pretty much all universal..

Have custom fitted Bride and Recaro seats into my CRX and so has Jeff (skipmcauliffe) its not too difficult or expensive..
Could get a set of adaptors from the uk site too

sound, i saw hadstec alright had a post about recaro rail adapters, but i wasnt sure if bolt pattern was the same as the older recaros. Sure waiting to hear back from the guy selling the seats. Does anyone think they will suit the crx? id miss the hole in the headrest, thats all

Yea very understated but great support in them..

Was driving my GFs Colt today and have a set of them Recaros in it and was amazed again how comfortable they are..
If your looking to go propper old skool get the recaro fishnet seats.. Have one of the head rests here from one of them
