Default Leather interior

Browsing through the site and seen some really nice RST's (obviously ), but also noticed a few that have full leather interior, which looks like it came out of the 4x4 Saph Cos. Is it?

I know the half leather trim out of a cabby won't fit correctly in the back of an ERST because of the speaker pods in a cabby or something (?) but does the Saph Cos seats fit in the ERST or have i got it totally wrong?

they do fold down, but they've got "wings" either side and a piece that runs across the top to hold the rear headrests in. very similar to saff cos ones iirc, and saff ones do fit an orion with abit of bending and hacking. unless you get some retrimmed i dont think theres any that bolt into an s2.

more than likely the leathers were re-trimmed. normal ERST/FRST recaro and rear benches.

if the recaros have the bit where you can pull the front out further they have been re-trimmed. if not they are cosworth/RS2000 seats.

is your subframes modified, if so this would suggest they aint standard ERST seats.

I'm not saying I have the seats, I've just seen pics on here and thought I'd ask the question. So rs2k seats fit in?

The s1,s2,fst, saph and 3dr seats are the same mate the only difference is some have the release handle (s1,s2,3dr,fst) and the saph does'nt, in side the seats there all the same mate all the mounts for reclining are there there just not connected....all you need to worry about is the right subframes for your car..

back seats are a little different.. as the s2 is a 60/40 split a bit of modding would have to be made to fit the saph back seat but its easly done..both base and back rest would have to be modded from the saph to suit the s2
