That model goes pretty cheap I have always though about ganking a set from a vw. you know what....for the $150-200 you can get a set for (sometimes) they are amazingly comfortable, way better then the original mk1 seat and im sure better them most datsun seats out there haha Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 you've got 2 recaros... that passenger seat is just the MK1 style, and the driver seat is a MK2 'late' style Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Nice find. I actually love how the mk1 sets feel in my car. I like how the side bolsters are shaped. Is that mk2 bumpers on it? They look pretty good on there. I hate the huge bumpers that come stock on those. Quote Link to comment

I hate the huge bumpers that come stock on those. i believe they are euro bumpers, they came with the car. i had them off for a while, they were sagging at the ends because they are not ment for it and i haven't gout around to making supports for it yet but i slid them back on for now haha Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 A neat mod for the MK1 recaro... the mk2 scirocco had the same seat frames, though sometimes with hideous fabric colors, BUT they are height adjustable and the fabric from the rabbit recaro slides right over and looks stock.
