BMW Recarro E30 seats

[imtb]

Just picked some up off ebay anybody put these in there 510? Hard to do? any pics or advice? They look nice and alot more supportive that the seats i have.

 

Would 280Z seat belts work in the 510?

[paradoxx]

I guess all of these mods are the easy ones, for example, for the seats you can always find almost any solution, like a flanch atatched to the car seat support and drilled for the bimmer seat.

I put 240Z seats in the 510 wagon, Not to hard just had to make a little bracket for the back of the seat. I have also put the recaro seats from a bimmer in my 240Z that was a bitch. Can't get to the back bolts very well in a Z car. The 510 should be an easy one for you. Here are the seats I just picked up today. FREEEEEE. out of a honda prelude.

well, if they're actual recaros, just pull the brackets off and mod them or try to reuse the 510 ones

 

if they're just bmw sport seats, you may be in for a lot more work

 

i think you need seatbelts from a sedan datsun, not a zcar

Yea I have a set of bimmer sport seats, After looking at them for an hour or so I gave up trying to put them in the wagon. The recaros should be a no brainer, Like you said just use the stock 510 bracket.

I have to say they are very nice seats. Stock Z car seats SUCK, But when I get down in the Z now I don't want to get out. :D

you talking about the metal that digs into your back or just the lack of support (or all of the above?)

 

interesting that lower "spec" seats like on the 1200 are just fine for cruising around

The lack of support.

I am sure he can tell you what was involved in mounting them.

 

There is a writeup on his car is the latest issue of the Dime Quarterly too.
