Pinched from Mike's Escort thread, I have checked the RandB Website but couldn't see them on there?

So, how much and where from?

 

recaro direct or demon tweeks.

they start at 450.

 

Link Euan? I tryed demontweeks but obviously wasn't looking in the right place..?

 

they are called recaro 'pole position'

they were an option on the german rs4's,always wanted a set for mine

 

I'll try another few searches until Mike see's this later then!

Not sure about the Ł450 part though!

 

I reckon that seat would be a bit more than Ł450.

 

Just found them on demon tweeks, start at Ł363 or something!

 

im sure mike would get you a better prince than demon

 

Dan,

i got my seats from D.Tweeks and i know they are cheaper elsewhere,just convenient at the time to pay a bit extra for them,so she did not know how much they were.

do a Google search,will give you plenty more places to choose from.

Very nice seat.

I see a few Cars especially Audis with them at the Ring a few weeks ago.

 

Mike can supply those seats.

we spoke of it before and he gave a 'very good' price on them.


or you could always buy my seats Dan, but they are almost 3k for the pair
but only weigh 4 kilo's each and made of carbon/kevlar.

 

Spot on, cheers for that mate!

 

No problem

I got my side bolsters and new base from them, good service as well

The Leather 'Pole Position' is Ł570 before i've bought sliderails and mounts etc!

 

they are awesome seats but the price is a down side.

People keep asking why I only have one





My side mounts arent recaro which helps keep price down a bit.

 

Looks the bollocks Euan! Sidemounts with Recaro on them are only Ł50ish I think

 

Bump for Mike

 

You also need to note that the DT prices have to have VAT added .

Also, if you wish to retain the seat adjustment (up / down / forwards / backwards etc), then you also need the side mount to Ford base adapters as well, which are around another Ł70ish.

If you definitely want a Recaro, pick the seat model you want, the mounting type (fixed with just side mounts or adjustable with Ford base adapter) and I will give you a price, as I deal with Recaro direct .

 

I also have Recaro Pole Positions in the ST, I bought them from South Coast wheels in Southampton, one of the only Recaro dealers in the south. I think they were about Ł410 each for half ambala leather (posh Recaro talk for vinyl!) and suede (can't remember it was a long time ago)

 

Ok Mike thanks for that, what adjustment do you have in your Escort? How do you find it?

I think i'd like to keep the adjustment really...

 

You can see that I have retained the Ford adjustment, which does make the seat a fraction taller than I would ideally like (even on it's lowest setting). However, Harvey has to drive the car, and he is 6'7" (whereas I am 5'8" ), so I need the range of adjustment that the standard seat has.

Mine is the leather option (rather than the vinyl), which makes it a lot more expensive than the prices you have grimaced at so far . So unless you specifically want the leather, you would be better off sticking with cloth if you want to keep the overall cost below Ł500!

 

The option I grimaced at so far was with Leather

I'll PM you what I need then Mike, thanks

 

I havent retained the ford adjustment and instead bolted the seat to the floor.

I now cant see over the bonnet

 

Euan, yours doesn't look a bad height?

 

its an ok height for most situations but I do need to lean forward to see over bonnet in some situations.

I could adjust back up to next holes in side mounts but then it feels like you are leaning forward all the time

 

Pmsl, the price of looking good hey!

 

I love the seat Dan, its by far the most comfortable I have ever sat on, even on very long motorway journeys.

Looks cool and makes your car feel like your own racer

 

I can imagine mate, it looks awesome!

When I was 17 I had 2 Sparco speeds in the front of my escort with 3 point harness' and it was fully stripped, love it!

 

Nice seats The back made of Carbon Fibre?
