Saturday we installed my new Sparco seats! We used universal sparco sliders in combination with OEM sliders.

The seat is exactly as high as the OEM right now smile.gif



First I tried to use the OEM seat brackets only (thnx to Bigwaagh!). I wanted to bolt on the seats to 1,2,3,4
I wanted to cut off part 5 and 6.



When I installed the seats on those brackets, it became to high.

I wanted to make it 2inch lower, so I bought 2 universal sparco sliders. (+/- 200USD)

We cutted off the mounting tabs of the OEM brackets and welded them onto the sparco sliders.







We bought 2 metal strips to weld on the sparco sliders. We drilled 4 holes to bolt the seats on
(M8 bolts)



Now we were able to mount those seats onto the OEM mounting holes on the Celica.
Number 5 is the handle to slide the seats front/ rear.

I don't know if they'll fit. I used Sparco R100 (model 2009), they're a little bit smaller.. tongue.gif
