I have Recaro SRD's for my FD and need seat rails. What website or where can i find them at? also, i have Sparco 4- point harnesses and i dont want the giant sparco logo clashing with the recaro stitching on the seats. So i want the seat belt pads that have "recaro" stitched in them. where can i find all these goodies?
BTW i dont want the generic EBAY knock off POS looking recaro seat belt pads..
thanks

that site didnt have any **** that i needed for sale. Or at least i couldnt find prices or the specific parts i was looking for. i hate non navigational freindly sites. :-(

Autoy in Rockville Md. 301.770.0700 ask for Dave. He is the resident Recaro guru

Hmmm, this might be a hard concept to grasp, but why don't you pick up a telephone and ask one of these vendors that sells Recaro products. I imagine they can order a set of rails for you. I know calling someone and talking to them might be hard for you, but quit being a lazy *** and call.


The internet has turned people into a bunch of social retards.

haha, i dont need them ASAP, so i didnt have the urge to call. Doing all my research now, so when i need them, i know who and where to call...
Plus i feel like a douche calling and asking for prices. kinda like blue balling, you know what i mean? ;-)

No it's not, it's called researching, just like you said. Shops are used to people calling in all the time to find a price. It's nothing new.

I called Dave today, and he told me both sources he checked showed that FD specific Recaro rails were only available up to '91....NOTHING for 3rd gens. So he said he'd make a few calls and get back to me...

No rails for the FD? damn,,, looks like its welder time!!!

Patience...let him get back to me first.

Worst case scenario, I know Mitch from Piper Motorsports uses FD-specific Sparco rails and modifies them as necessary to fit whatever seats you have. And I BELIEVE that the sparco rails can also use tilt adaptors, so the whole seat can tilt back and forth...

patfat

You can order them from Recaro Japan and Germany. I have checked into this. They are pretty expensive though. 250 per

for 250ea. il fab my own...
Any dice on the harness pads? :-)

Pat, you mind helping me out on this then? Cuz I contacted Recaro in the US, they told me to call Recaro Germany. The # they gave me was invalid, and no one replied to my email.

I'm actually looking for the 2002 Recaro RZ seat rails...(from them or Mazda). They're the ones that also have a tilt function...the entire seat can tilt back up to 3 clicks I believe...

Thanks

Why dont you try contacting JT Imports. I'm sure they could get you FD specific rails from Recaro Japan.

FDNewbie

iTrader: (10)

I did...haven't heard back from him. He said they stock the regular rails...but the ones w/ the tilt feature, he'd hafta ask. Oh and I'm ASSUMING he checks w/ Mazda, not Recaro. I'd like prices from both, ya know? I have a feeling that Mazda's prices might be just a wee bit higher LOL

ROTORhead93

yeah, mazda prices will be just a little bit higher than normal.

I do know that diyman25 and cossie both got recaro rails from japan. I'm sure if you PM'ed them, they could help you out in trying to get them. But i dont know if cossie posts here anymore since selling the car.

What seats were you gonna get? IF/when you get the rails and the seats, post pics, i'd like to see how low they sit.

user 9348703

Yeah I didnt see the rails with the tilt yet. Was that what the stock rails on the recaros did? If so thats easy to check... I have the full parts catalogs here... hehe

FDNewbie

Good old Jason hehe.

I'll be honest w/ ya Jason, I've never personally saw the rails w/ the tilt feature, but there was a set of RZs on Ebay maybe 2 weeks ago tops, and he had pics of the rails, and mentioned that they allow the seat to tilt in 3 diff clicks or positions. Given that the seat backs themselves don't recline, getting the tilt feature is a no-brainer to me...

But yea, if you can check the parts catalog, that would be great (you're so lucky...I want a parts catalog! lol)

Lemme ask ya this. I know some brackets (eg. Sparco, see http://www.cardomain.com/shop/item.pl?sku=SPA00494) have a tilt seat base adapter you can use on the seat rails...anyone know if Recaro does this as well?

ROTORhead93, thanks for the info. Oh, and why I'm getting Recaros of course Pics coming soon...

ROTORhead93

Wow, i didn't even think of that even with the title asking where to find RECARO products.

Anyways, i wanna see your seats when you get them in. I too wanna get recaros but i have other things that come before that.

patfat

Did you enter Germany's country code along w/ the number?

FDNewbie

iTrader: (10)

I got ya on the pics...no worries.

No, I thought it was a local #! LOL. Shush dork haha. It's a good point, but yea I tried, and the # was invalid. 011, country code, etc etc.

BTW, Dave called me back today and told me there are no FD-specific seat brackets by Recaro...but there's a company in California that's developing them for them?? So he said it shouldn't be too long until they're available.

So...back to square one... Jason, ya hear anything yet?

Cossie bought some from Recaro I think. Recaro Japan if I recall

Yea, ROTORhead93 said the same thing. I PMed both diyman25 and cossie this morning to see if they had any info about it. I'll let ya know if I get a reply...
