Anyone tried replacing seats in a jimny?

I have been doing way too many kays, I want a better seat. Has anyone upgraded / swapped seats in a jimny before?

I haven't swapped the seats in a Jim before. But I did have a good look while I was repairing some cracks in a jimny floor pan, and it looks pretty typical. Same effort as a coily or vitara IMO.

Thanks for the link!

But I cant go to a deep bucket like that, I also get in and out a lot. I would like a factory seat from something else probably. Whatever is more comfy and not too expensive from a wrecker.

I will also have to consider the width because i have a bed arrangement that I dont want to lose LOL

well either way youll still need to make a similar sort of adaptor. if you look a bit more on that thread youll see he has the attached to a peogot 205 rail assy. so its exactly the same dude no matter what sort of seat you use.

his welds are pretty nasty, looks like he make the bits of steel to small so he just welds more bits on till its right.

i wouldn't waste your money with the cheaper sports seats around if your looking for something comfortable, at least you know that they're going to be ergonomically correct being a Recaro.

i paid $700 for a 2nd hand pair off ebay... awesome comfort for reasonable $$$'s

OMG my mate would go spastic if I got RX seats, he's a rotory nutter. We put a 12A in his 323 when we were in high school. His brother had a 13B turbo with motec & the works in a 626

I still dunno why they didnt just buy an RX but you know how that is...
