Recaro's Fitted

Well collected and got these home last night.

This morning off to Maplin and got me 7 x 13p 3.3 ohms resistors (to be on the safe side although only need 2)

Invited 2 mates over for assistance and at 2.30pm we started on fitting the seats.

Although 1 mate did all the work :) while I sat with a few tins with my other mate shouting words of wisdom.

Took around 150 minutes from start to finish and the Clio Trophy subframes meant the seats dropped straight in.

1.) Rolled the car backwards onto ramps
2.) Jacked the front on the side we were working on

Gave plenty of lift to work under then.

Well chuffed with results and the only difficult part I found was the wiring under the seat! different on my car to the guide. The plug connectors were different as were all the colours of wires.

My earth is a seperate connector all together everything under the seat was so different but got round that and yep no airbag light.

Next minor problem was finding the Headunit Code :) found that in the end after trying the Alarm code about 5 times [smilie=hide.gif]

Anyway pics.

Not bad turnaround though less than 20 hours and there in the car.

Didn't realise the seat bolster extended like on the M3 BMW's etc, all new to me [smilie=hide.gif] didn't fell comfy doing that though.

Only driven about 200 yards so far to semi let the suspension resettle after being in the air for 2 hours +
 
Look good..! :D

I much prefer my recaro's to the standard Vee seats, they are brilliant and as yet, I haven't driven the car with the extended leg bolster out either....:s
