Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the different colour seats that came standard in later model evos, like 7 onwards?

Im after a set for a car (want something slightly bucketed with harness holes so its ok on track but needs to be well made and comfy for long journeys too so evo OEM ones tick all those boxes) and was just wondering what my odds of finding plain black, or better still black with a bit of yellow on are?

 

Impreza ones would probably be cheaper/easier to source

 

Evo ones seem to go for about 300-400 or so for a pair of fronts which is perfectly acceptable, and im not in any rush, so got ages to find the right ones, but only if they exist in the first place of course.

Scooby ones are another option, but I dont like them quite as much TBH

 

Chippa,

Quick email to slim sheady or a search on mlr will give you the answer mate

 

Rich, I had a quick look on the MLR but could only find all the exterior colours not the trim colours, dont want to bother sheady over something so trivial but could always ask him when I see him next as like ive said im not in a rush for them anyway.

 

Not quite Evo but not far off...........

VII's came with a suede bolster and black or blue internal seat panels. Haven't seen any other colours. Bolsters on these are supposed to be the highest including the "wings" at the lower portion around your kidney area.

VIII's including MR came with a very similar and possibly the same seat, again in suede bolsters but some people think they are a bit tighter (subjective I feel).

IX's came with a leather type bolster but were termed the "fat american" seat and offered little support of any kind for a car like that. Very flat seat.

Having owned a VII and an VIII MR, the VII seats get my vote.

HTH

 

I've definitely seen them with red or black detail. Yellow rings a bell but can't find anything on google, sorry mate!

 

Sounds like suede bolster and black internal panel is likely to be my best option then, thanks very much for the info saff cossie.
I wasnt aware the 9 seats were less supportive, as its mainly a track car thats no good then.

The 10 seats are awesome too, but I suspect they'll blow the mrs budget, lol

 

Pretty sure it was a factory option to have the interior half leather trim colour coded on the VIII's - a mate of mine had purple and black trim to match the medium purple paint and I viewed one that was silver with matched trim.

So I'd say the black and yellow would exist - it'd be rare tho.

 

Interesting, thanks Jigga.

Plain black would be fine, but a bit of yellow (colour the outside is going) would be a bonus.

 

You want the MR 320 seats chip they are all black suede the MR 340's are half leather and go for more money

 

Ideally I would like cloth, is there the option of black in cloth, or do I have to choose between leather and suede?
If its leather or suede i'll take suede in preference as leather is too slidy on track.

 

Few pics of mine:

8MR






VII



IX (not my pic)

 

It is an upgrade a few of the skyline guys have done here in the club. They just get the rails made as they are an affordable good seat compared with what you pay for an aftermarket one.

 

Id be happy to weld up some mounts for them to sit on, so would just use the evo runners hopefully and mimic how they are bolted into the evo but into the clio shell.

8MR looks best colour wise there, thanks again for all your input

 

No worries, happy to help.

 

These ones look quite good:

i like some of the early wrx ones but they always seme to have red bits on them and that would look awful in a yellow car, she wants to keep it to yellow/black/grey if possiblefor everything in it.

 

You've sat in mine Chip:



They do the same as this with yellow where my silver is - uber rare though

 

Yeah I saw one of those with the yellow trim had sold by someone on the MLR when I looked after the replies in this thread, he said he let the whole lot go for 600.
Trouble is, those are leather sections and I dont really want leather.

But if I could get them with the yellow, Id put up with it.

if you ever see another set going on there with the yellow can you let me know please mate, there is a red set on there at the moment I noticed but the guy wants 1K for them and obviously thats the wrong colour for me.

 

dont go for the 260 seats as theses have less surport than the 280 gsr

 

Thanks for the tip.

Think its MR8 in plain black im after though, so just have to see if any come up at sensible money.

 

I sold a complete interior from an early WRX a while back. Front seats, rear seats and door cards for Ł20. That was blue though, but great seats to sit in, and nicely made. No real signs of wear on them at all, which can't be bad for a 1995 car.

 

just a pisser they always seem to have red or blue bits or be in that really nasty pale grey colour!

 

This what i have in my 7, but i think i was alimited edition

 

few options here chip, seems reasonable in price

Also, they've got seat runners/rails too

 

Just get some Sparco Evo's they're comfortable enough for long distances, and brilliant when put the harnesses on.

 

They are ok, but for something like a trip to the ring they are nowhere near as comfy as evo seats.

 

Thanks for looking mate.

Nearly all got blue or red in them, and EXC rails, means Excluding not with!

 

fair enough;

sorry i meant they sell the seat rails/ runners separately - i'm sure the right set with yellow in will show up eventually

 

chip; not sure if your still looking

http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk...p?ID=100864871 fronts Ł375. no yellow but completely black

No mate, decided to get the rest of the rebuild done first then source some rather than have to find somewhere to store them for 12 months as just about to take the car off the road to start working on it

 

fair enough; the right set will come along the day you take it off the road i expect!

 

Or more likely the day after I buy a "it'll do" set

Thanks for thinking of me anyway mate

 

These are my FQ 330 seats

 

Well hurry up and fucking crash it then.

Thats the problem with ex cossie owners, after managing to stay on the road in a car that handles like a whale on a sheet of ice, there isnt much odds of them crashing a car that actually goes round bends properly

 

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Evo's are VERY crashable! I have been in a couple while being damaged! Nowhere near as invincible as people think.

And what you mean ex cossie owner?

 

LOL.....

 

why not try honda integra type r seats?

 

chip they deffo do yellow and black ,

i went out in a evo 8 fq320 at cadwell when we were there for time attack ,


they were black with yellow centers
