Hi guys,

over here in the UK it's pretty nigh on impossible to get runners/brackets to fit bucket seats in a 4th gen Prelude.

I want to fit some Sparco race seats with harnesses but have had no luck in finding subframes.

Do you guys know of any manufacturers stateside that would export to UK, or have any of you fitted buckets and used any other subframes e.g. Civics, etc.

Thanks for any info!

Steven.

 

No takers?

Surely one of you guys must be running racing seats in your lude?

I was thinking about Sparcos but would consider other makes if they are easier to fit.

 

I can probly get you a bracket/sliderail kit. Ill look into it for you

 

How about custom made brackets like mine from an s2k... just took a mig welder and some time...

 

Hey I like that! Now about those seat belts....

 

the stock fourth gen seats are designed by sparco... kepp them and get them recovered(do it yourself), it'll turn out great. Good luck though...

BTW those s2k seats are DEAD SEXY (fat bastard)!!!

 

my 4th gen lude has black leather seats (best ive ever set in) better than my old supra. the drivers seat is starting to wear pretty bad on the side... whats the best fix for this... is it possible to have the leather seat recovered or recover it myself... if so where would i look to get this product?? would like to keep the stock seats but i want my lude to look mint. thanks for any input

 

^^^mee too

 

Sparco makes seat brackets for the 4th gen... laser cut. Wedge Engineering also makes brackets.

 

@ries can you tell me who to contact about these brackets?

I have emailed Sparco's representatives in the UK and they forwarded it onto Sparco Italy and they both said they have no brackets for my car.

If you can put me in touch with someone who would prove me wrong it would be very much appreciated.

Dont you mean Recaro?

 

Update!

Just been on the Sparco USA site and yes they do seem to produce a subframe for my car.

It is a US-only part as the UK distributors cannot get their hands on them.

I will contact Sparco to look at importing one direct.

Thanks for the help guys!

Steven.

 

Yes Recaro made the 4th gen seats, try to contact them.

(edit) StevenH can you post the prices and references ? thanx

 

Well, there is still an outstanding question!

As my car is right hand drive I am not sure which subframe I will need (I only plan to change my drivers seat at the moment!). Hopefully the bolts will all fit and it is only determined by the position of the seat adjuster bar.

If it is still the RHS subframe, the reference is 5001147 - base (price $60) and you also need reference 500 - adapter (price $40). The LHS base ref is 5001146.

If you go to the Sparco USA site and navigate to the seats section, there is a link on the RHS at the bottom to some pdf's including installation instructions and one for application/price list.

 

i like my seats to much to ditch them for anything else, i am going to cover mine in black cloth with red thread in a few weeks when i get to my trim and upholstry class
