How to fit Ignis sport recaro into a Jimny

Well, managed to get the last base bolt in using a large g clamp. Got the seat in the car, once again only 3 of 4 bolts line up, so fitted it & am just leaving it like that. The rail is stiff but does move, if I bend it enough to get the last hole in I don't think it will slide at all. Going to take a dremel to the mounting holes tomorrow and oval them out enough for a clean fit. Then going to start taking my drivers side a part, only did the passenger back bar today as a test fit.

I leave you with this though:

A nice little comparison shot between the VVT half leathers and the Recaros, Recaros definetly more beefy, and a lot more comfortable. I'm thinking about putting the VVT half leathers up for sale on here for anyone looking to update the rather cookie old 90s interiors. Only as the back and base though (as obviously I've used the rails & back bar).

with regards to this most excellent thread..i have just bought a superb pair of recaros, which have come with original sport subframes, mounting s look identical, does this thread still apply..??
Help..Tony

The ignis base is wider, so you will still need to follow this guide and swap bits around to get them in. Its not as hard as it sounds.

Also worth swapping the driver and passenger seat bases around as usually the drivers has had more wear & tear, swapping them evens it out a bit.

One of the best mods you can do to a Jimny this is

+1 on the best mods! There are some pics in my project thread that shows what you need to modify

With the stock seats they recline back to level with the rear seat, do the Recaros do the same?

If not could anyone with no rear seats snap a pic of them fully reclined for me please?

Building a rear box at the moment that needs to be just above the reclined seats and plan on installing Recaros when I get some

Having just read this thread wouldn't it be simpler to use some suitable flat bar to move the Jimny runners in board of the recaro seat base holes half an inch each side or am I missing something?
