bought a 92 sierra and had water logged and ruined seats
had this pair of ke70 seats from my drift car (they were too good to throw away)
it was a amazingly simple swap, the bolt spacing is the same width between the two, the rear hole bolts in, and the front hole needs a little elongating or a fresh hole drilled, depending if u want a bolt/ nut or use the thread in the ke70 seat.
these are awesomely comfortable seats, mine are from the luxury model, but all ke70 seats are the same frame.
sorry i dont have any process pics, but its as simple as bolting in a stock set.

hey lumpy_zook, i was only looking at that build up last week. can't remember how i stumbled onto it but, read it thinking it a pretty epic build.
welcome to AZ, i hope you catch the 4wd bug & do something similar to the Sierra.... JDM Xpark hey, you'd have to know MR1JZ?

If ke70 seats are as bad as ae71 seats then they are a sideways step into a zook
ke's would have to be one of the cheapest cars to get into fun track work.

Mabey so, but if the sierra seats are ruined and the corolla seats are free or close to it, then I wouldn't be saying no?
And everyone has different opinions to what a comfortable seat is.
I would prefer my race fixed back bucket over the armchairs in my territory.
But to alot of other people, I'm an idiot for thinking that.
As soon as u try to get competitive in a corolla it's anything but cheap. :p

A sub 10k car lapping at the same times as 30k+ cars is cheap racing

but if u sunk that same amount of money into a silvia (which you can get for about the same cost of a ke70 these days)
it would be much more competittive.
but yes, it is cheap racing. but myne has cost me more than 10k..
