recaro seats anyone?

Maxyboy · 30-05-2006, 05:49 PM

just got hold of my 3dr r32 with recaro's....which is good....but....to allow access into the back do i have to lift the handle in the lug AND the handle that allows the seat to slide back and forth....the reason i find this strange is because if i do this i have to reset my seat position again....i am sure i must be doing something wrong [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smashfreakB.gif[/img]

Had an MR2 - everytime you wanted to get to the storage behind the seats you had to reset the seat position - pain in the arse to say the least.
Anyways, how you finfing it mate.
Feel that torque..............

Nope they all do that and its a complete pain in the ass..

Not that I've got recaros that is... but a guy at work has one of those end of line CTR's with recaros and his is exactly the same...
