Drift_Marti Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm looking for some after market bucket seats and seat rails for my ae82 corolla.I would like a direct bolt in because I have been quoted $1000 to get some custom rails made up. I would like to use gtr or wrx seats. Thanks Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift_Marti Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 No.I'm in Perth I don't mind getting them made over east and paying to ship them to me in Perth if they are cheaper then what I have been quoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I got some rails from Yahoo Japan via Import monster. They were specifically made for an AE86 to take LX Recaro's that were initially fitted in a JXA70R Supra. Bolted in perfectly. It looks as if they make rails to suit almost any application, especially if your donor car uses a well known brand of sport seat. I probably ended up paying about $300 or so for a pair including shipping, but I picked up the seats cheaply so didn't mind. There were multiplke sellers for this sort of stuff. Perhaps have a search on yahoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I had a look last year at Idealseat (the Victorian reseller for Recaro) and I think off the top of my head they charged about 200-500 per seat to get the rails made up (but I'm assuming that was when you bought a seat through them), so I guess the $1000 sort of makes sense... When I fitted a Sparco seat to my 55 I just got 2 metal strips, bolted the strips to the old rails and the seat to the strips. For the FTO seats I've got in my AE86 my mechanic modified the 86 rails to fit the seats, not sure how long it took (was mixed in with the bill for other work on the car) but it would've been a couple of hundred (under 500). If you know exactly what seat you wanna put in have a search around and you might be able to find someone that has done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I will try to have a look at the rail in my other 82 (seat looks like a wrx seat), the seat is from an import and it bolted straight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
