just brought a set of very rare oldskool recaro's and debating on installing them in my accord or my cabrio..



anyone with pics of recaros in a 5th gen accord ?

 

???????

 

pics of the seat you want to use?

 

why cant you just stick the seats in the car somehow just to get an idea?

 

the car is at my parents house

 

99.99999% of the racing seats you see in an Accord will look absolutely nothing like the set you have. In fact I have never seen those before personally so there's a 100% chance that you will not find a similar style seat in an Accord.

Just put them in? I have honestly never understood the whole "omg what would my car look like with this?!" put it in and decide for yourself. Honda-Tech is not driving or building your car for you.

*edit* My point of saying that is I'm completely lost as to how looking at a completely different seat in a car that's not yours is going to help you make a decision in the matter. Looking at a different model Recaro (probably an SRD) or what not that's not tan in an Accord is pointless. You're better off googling "Recaro"

 

thats why im looking for someone that has an accord with these style recaro's.

as stated my accord is at my parents house about 1hr and 45mins away from me and have not really had time to work on the car.

also does anyone knows if the oem rails will fit on the recaro brackets?

 

You will not find someone with them. I've seen RSX, S2000, eBay "racing" seats, etc.

Your best bet would be to either drill out the rivets/welds on Accord seats and attach them or buy a universal rail system and install.

 

i just saw a a dc teg with these kind of seats so maybe an accord owner might have them also since this is a very big site. i dont think i can be the only one on the net that is doing this.

 

Your best bet then is to post in the Recaro thread in A/C at the bottom.

Out of:

HondaSociety
gen5alive
Honda-Tech
accordinglydone
cd5tuner

As well as my local forum I have never seen it done. You're asking if someone with what appears an OEM seat from another car (probably VW from the looks of them as I've seen similar in black) has swapped it into an Accord which is a not so popular platform to begin with.

 

these are not oem seats thats why im posting these are rare recaro ls monza series.

ive checked all those sites and everyone just has the stocks or cl seats or ebay seats, plus those sites are slow with little feedback.


mk2 recaro trophy seats are very different from mines and only comes in grey and black with grey inner.

 

And a quick google search yields they are stock in certain VWs, Fords, etc.

And exactly, Accord owners do not have them in their cars. Which is the point I'm trying to make haha.

*edit* Along with your identical post on bimmerforums from 6 days ago.

 

these are not stock seats! show me link on where your looking.

these are aftermarket recaro's meaning uni for any car. ls monza series


what does my post on bimmerforum has to do with my topic thats posted here??

 

http://www.rsownersclub.co.uk/car_info/esc3rsts1.htm

For starters. Along with just searching Recaro Monza shows they are available in a variety of VW's

I really do not see how you're getting worked up over them being offered in other cars? It is not the end of the world. The color combination is of little concern.

If you want them in your car, put them in your car. You seem more on selling them though since there's both a post selling them on here for $1000, and $800 on bimmerforums.

As I mentioned earlier, the Recaro thread in A/C is your best place to ask. You will not find them installed on an Accord.

 

theres nothing in that link with a pic. your trying to tell me facts that arent true. these are race seats from the 80's

i even posted in the bimmer site for info and the name of them. your getting confused with oem recaro trophys.

im not getting worked up but this is not even the topic at hand. and yes it is posted for sale if i dont like the way they look in my car.


also look at the race car your showing me in the link

(key word)

The Interior is trimmed in a combination of Monza and Cashmere fabrics and XR3i type "Recaro" LS bucket seats are fitted as standard

 

You know you can READ words on webpages too.....

It states that the interior had Recaro LS with Monza trim.



And surprise, it's from the 80's

And no, I'm not getting them confused with the trophys. There's several (I found two) archived posts in the VWVortex for sale section that state LS Monza. The Trophy's are identical in structure however to yours just a different color.

big difference in seats from the race model and the stock

 

Well gosh golly chief, your seats are just so rare and awesome you should sell them for a billion dollars!

For whatever reason you're refusing that they are offered elsewhere just keep doing it. It's really working.

You're not going to find them installed on an Accord period. This post is invalid and is if anything an advertisement for your for sale post. I directed you to the Recaro thread in A/C.

I'm done. It's like talking to a block of wood.

 

why are you getting so worked up for?? you have been going off the topic as shown. above. and yes they are rare.

theres nothing on the recaro thread thats why i made this post in the accord sectin! so just let it be .

your the brick with the wrong facts and off topic trolling the net.

not the same

all recaro's in the 80's had pretty much the same structure! doesent mean there all stock seats.

 

Those seats remind me the leather version recaros that are on my friend's 88 BMW 3 series. Looks exactly the same.

But surely, I have never seen them on any Accord at all. Considering the little amount of Accord enthusiast compared to Integra/Civic enthusiast, you chances of finding this seat on a 5th gen will be very low....

Nice seats anyhow!

 

who cares what they are, where they were, and where they werent. just put them in and figure it out.

 

haha. dude dont argue with the muffinman! he knows where you live!

 

I would need to see a picture of the bottom of your Recaro's to be sure. To take a guess I would say probably not without modification.

ITR seats in my CD5

Accord Rails


ITR brackets welded to Accord rails






Not very good pictures if you wanted to see how they look with the rest of the interior in the car. However, they do fit quite nicely.

I have a DIY on how to install these ITR seats in a CD5 (same seat style and rail setup as Recaro's) in my build thread.

 

i have pics of the bottoms, will upload them on my lunch break
