Default Recaro seat... finally making some progress. (Impreza)

Making some sort of progress today if any of you guys are interested..

Ive been up to my neck in it recently and havent had a chance to get this fitted.

Ive been fabricating runners to fit this as neatly as possible but its not as easy as you may think getting it to fit nice in a road car with interior trim.

Getting it in is okay... getting it where i wanna be sitting however is a diferent story


I have had no choice but to create a relief in the b pillar trim in order to get the seat where i want it. Its not pretty. However, I dont really care as its not noticable when the seats in place and another trim isnt exactly expensive.

Now i have a mock up of where i feel comfortable its tim to finish the mountings and runners and get it bolted in properly.



Here you can see the gutter i formed in the trim to create the clearance i wanted.



Its finally starting to come together

Seat looks cool but what happens when you come to a junction and need to look left or right ?
