owning a 15yo car has made me cheap

[mattjk]

I'm thinking about getting these seats.

I have a real pair of recaro srd's in my wrx, but I can't justify paying $2000+ on leather srd seats for a 15yo car.

Do you think fake recaros will just cheapen the supra, or should I just keep the stock seats? :aigo:

My WRX

My Supra

get the real deal!

 

[hot dayam mk3]

c'mon now dont do that to your supra. go all out and get the real seats.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Shit take them out of your WRX.

 

[koulee]

You cheap bastard!

 

[mattjk]

sorry

Matt: Don't be!

They look like a good deal for the money if the leather is real.

It's not very common, but every once is a while cheap things are worth it. My aluminum race pedals were $9 and look just as good from the driver's seat as a name brand.

Seats are an important part of safety especially when you get in an accident. It would suck to find out the hard way.

uummmmm......That car doesn't look 15 yrs old! Better looking than the blue box (I like the blue box though)

the seats def look nice, at least they dont have a APC logo on them

one question though, you can justify BBS wheels, but no recaro seats?

Wheels came with the car IIRC...
Matt: They look ok to me.... I don't know.. I'd buy them for a second car, as that's how it seems you view the supra. The second car always gets second parts... second rate parts.

FTW!

 

[figgie]

so let me get this straight

you want to put cheap seat into a car (don't care if it is a yugo). Do you know WHY those recaro's, sparcos, bride, Momo are expensive. No it is not the name. It is the SAFETY TESTING.

beign cheap is one thing, but being cheap on shit that can fucking kill you if it does not work is absolutely the most the stupidiest thing to be posted on here.


<-- wonders how the "cheap" seats will hold in a frontal impact. I sure as hell would not want to find out come accident time

I bought the wheels back in 1996.

If recaros are good enough for your WRX, they're good enough for your Supra.

Yes, that is important but what good is a safety seat when the brackets are the weak links. I've known two people that have gotten into accidents that have had their Wedge seat brackets break on impact. Both cars had Recaro racing shells in them. Granted, a cheap seat may have been worse...

Then I say stick with stock! maybe even go all out and get some recaro seats from the MK3... Thats badass.

^ finding tt-r recaros in good shape is quite difficult.

Just buy new recaro's, Matt... That's what I'd do. They're only twice as much as those :icon_razz
