Come on, suerly you know a Recaro is comfy?

I can sit in a Recaro on a long drive and can stand up out the car no bother without having jelly legs or whatever, I sit in most cars, golf/corsas, bmws even with std seats and my backs sore within an hour!

I had an LTI TX2 in the otherday for a new screen - opened the door to get in that bastids got a Recaro in there (even with leather side and lower bolsters!!!)

Asked him about it and he said the guys down the local taxi rank put him onto a place that does the conversion - tho it cost him Ł700!!!!

Get a nice Recaro from an RS breakers and take it and yer cab to a motorsport place or similar and just get em to knock up a mateable subframe, and swap em over. Can't be that expensive!!!!!!!

another one for the scorpio
you could have had mine but they've been sitting in the weather for the past 2 weeks and don't have any loom either

but for 10 way electrical and heated seats, these are by far the easiest to get hold of
