Well after all the talk today I installed a set of Recaro SE seats in my 1995 900 SE. Speedware Motorsports is having a sale where you can get 2 Recaro SE seats, 2 Recaro sliders and 2 seat brackets for $999 so I figured I'd jump on it. Drove up there today and talked to Shawn and he made up a set of seat brackets and was very helpful overall. Get back to my house and start to take out my old seats using the torx screw driver in the spare tire kit. A word to the wise, If you're going to be installing aftermarket seats, make sure you have a torx socket set (socket size T-40 in particular)! I tried to be superman with the screwdriver and got a nice blister so went to a hardware so and got a socket set. Once I had the sockets removing the old seats was a breeze. I had an idiot moment where I couldn't figure out how to get the brackets in, of course I realized which way it was supposed to go after 45 minutes.
I then had to install the sliders onto the seats with was pretty easy. Before I put the seats in I had to remove the seat belt buckles off the old seats. When you remove those there are 3 holes on the metal bar, the big one on the bottom that was screwed in and 2 smaller ones above. With the brackets I had made using the big hold was to high so I used a drill to widen the top small whole. That put the buckle at the perfect height with my new seats. Installing the seats in the car was pretty basic. They're held down by 4 bolts (one on each corner). I'm very impressed with the seats now that they are installed. I like the fact that they have manual sliders because now it's quicker to slide the seat forward if someone is sitting in back. Also when the seat is slid all the way to the front and the back is folded forward there is more room for a person in the back to get out of the car. A couple other features of the seats are knobs at side to adjust the back and the headrests can tilt front and back along with up and down. If you all have any questions or comments feel free to throw them my way. Now on to the pictures!
