Damn, that's rough. No wonder there are no FIA approved seats that can recline.
Slightly off topic - but would in that case a harness bar bounce the seat back forward, or would it snap your spine?

Guys, may I know are them both Recaro SR-4?








I can see the cutting and design are same, but one of them, with the extendable thigh rest and one without, and their back support fabric design are different.

Please teach me, thanks :D

There were also another 50 sets that are identical to these but were fitted to Subarus and have Prodrive stitched into them. It also has a little electric motor which raises and lowers the seat, we hooked this up to a battery and were impressed to find that it works perfectly! So I'm gonna hook a feed up to it and hopefully have an electric Recaro in my EG! I know it's very marmite as it's from a different era to that of the car and obviously it has mental colours, but I really like it and think it looks kinda street race ish having a mismatched interior lol. Mega comfy too. Rarer than a rare thing!

Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll get some better ones when I can



hmmmmm.......... so does that make my seat no.6?



its not really that rare either as you can still get these seats brand new from Recaro in Stuttgart Germany.
