My FRPP Recaro's just came in...

[Tob]

Now that hurts. I was born in Honolulu but haven't been back there since 1985. Were you overcome with the smell of flowers when you walked off the plane?

I only had a few hours this weekend to do anything car related. I spent a few moments pulling the original seats out and put them in the basement next to the Recaro twins.

I'll weigh everything when I have a chance. Suffice it to say, the OEM driver side seat is quite a bit heavier than everything else due to the power unit. I suspect that the Recaro unit won't be much less with the track swapped.

How nice it would have been to be able to simply bolt in the Recaro's at tis point instead of having to disassemble both them and my original seats...

The disassembly is definitely a pain, they don't make anything easy these days! Can't wait to see pics installed

op: like it like it... Getting a drink and can't wait for the info on getting this feat accomplished. Got the popcorn and as we used to say in the military Standing by to stand by.

Ok just got back on the sofa. Did I miss anything?

[einehund]

nope. not yet. I'm waiting too! pass that popcorn...

 

[Tob]

You guys are killing me. I suppose it makes sense to tackle these next as they are already out of the car and in a warm place. Driveline mods are being put on hold!

 

[einehund]

LOL! just givin you a little rubbin seeing that I'm deployed 6000 miles from my car and it's in storage anyways. I'm living vicariously through you guys to get my car fix.

 

[shelby2]

op:Here's some popcorn. Pass the beer I think the show is going to start. :banana: I so can't wait to see/read this one!!

:beer:

 

[Tob]

Well I have a few things to take care of so I apologize if that popcorn goes stale. Heck, where are these other guys that have the seats but have yet to swap the internals and put them into their cars?

01SVTSnake, how about those photos?

 

[01SVTSnake]

I should have some this weekend. Working 70-80hr weeks is killing any time I have in the day to get some decent pictures. I finally have a whole weekend off so I should get some pictures!

 

[shelby2]

Lol. We're on the sofa with the beer and popcorn. Everyday I drive in the garage With the 2009 and see my leather ones with white stripes. To cold to mod and car is daily driver also still looking for more info on how to. Concerned about the plugs and air bag lights.

Did I mention how. U will be our hero?

:rockon:

 

[shelby2]

2 days left down here and I'll get to see my angry smurf!:banana:

Thank you TOB for all your write ups and insight. You provided much needed motivation while I've been away from home.

 

[01SVTSnake]

Work is killing me lol.

Heres a few quickies I snapped with my cell. Forgive the crapiness of the lighting. I also absolutely love the seats. Im 5'10 190lb and I fit perfectly in them

 

[Tob]

They look so damn inviting. I wish mine were plug and play as well!

 

[Bonefish]

I just got a message regarding the "B" Recaro seats from FRPP. There are only a handful of them left and then the only listing will be the slightly more expensive "C" seat. Unless of course, a leather offering ever happens.:whine:

What's the difference between the B Recaro and the C? Or should I read and not be so lazy? LOL!

Thanks to everyone posting in this thread. I've not said much but, I've sure been watching! So want to do this after I get a few other things done.

 

[GT Premi]

The seats look huge compared to the stock seats. Hard to believe they're supposed to be lighter.

 

[Tob]

Pony23, how are you separating the plastic bezels at the top of the seats (where you'd run a harness through)? Squeeze and release (somehow) or do you need to unlatch a clip?
