Check out the junkyard. Any seats from car would do the job. If your lucky you can even get power/heat/lumbar! I got some from buckets my friends wrecked suzuki swift. I guess they are supposed to be made by recaro also and they have a spot for a harness if you wanted to put one in eventually. Very comfortable too...I have them on 2"x4"s in the basement for playing playstation and watching movies!

Demon - go ahead and pick those up for me next time your in the area and i'll pay you back next time i'm back in dallas


5-8 - thanks, can you post a pic of the inside of the cab with the buckets in there along with the one of the back mount?

jimmy - thats what i plan on doing, i was looking at some new ones and they are just too expensive. i've seen some 90's camaros with some i think would look good and some miata buckets too.

those look sweet man. i have eyeballed a couple miata seats on ebay, and they look tight as hell. i'm gonna go to some local salvage yards in a week or so. would be nice if they had a crx in there but i'm gonna check out 4th gen f-bodys and some other stuff to see what i can come up with.

My Brown Scottsdale had buckets i dont know waht they came out of but they were very nice and had the center console to match if i am not mistaken they were aftermarket..

I wouldn't recomend 4th gen F-body seat. I'm not crazy about them in my moms car.

There used to be a place in Mansfield called Tire & Seat Warehouse that sold take outs.....I haven't been there in years but they used to sell any 2 seats power or not for $50

Hey izzy where did you get those seats at anyway? I like um! Oh and just a little tip, have you ever noticed how you handles on the insdie are tilted in just a little? The stop for the handles came from the factory with a little rubber washer around it. Most of them fell off. I took a rubber washer and hollowed the insdie out untill it slid down on the stop. Helps a lot it think......

Thanks for the tip.

I got them at a local yard off of Carson and 121 in Ft. Worth. $40 and the only thing wrong is the small tears on the passenger side and from what I keep hearing Recaro made these for Honda.

So these are in all CRXs or what? $40 thats awsome!

I almost bought a pair of those from the junkyard for like $200 too!!! Good thing that I ran into the suzuki swift seats!

The seats aren't that bad, but you can tell GM didn't spend much on them. They're supportive, and fairly comfortable, but I don't really like them.

Yes. These were from a '91 but some of the late 80's models have a different design but the same basic look.

You like the way they feel? Jasons are really cool. Full on RECARO and all.

Check out a place in Seagoville called Texas Custom Seats. They carry alot of takeouts as well as center and overhead consoles!

I put Toyota Xtra Cab seats in mine. Made custom mounts for them using most of the existing seat mounts. I am going to redo them for the new cab, but this is what the look like about 4 years ago.




I also added some 91 Blazer buckets (whole interior actually) to my 78 Jimmy. Made custom brackets for them also:

i have an set of seat out of an acra someone can have if they pick them up . i just put in a set out of a 91 blazer

[low 84]

i'm intersted in them. can you tell me a little more about them since it would be a bit of a drive for me. what condition are they in? what color? do they still have the mounting brackets and sliders?

thanks
