i have toyota celica in mine my mate has honda if you remove the seat with runners it's a bit easyer or you can cut of the runners from the old seats and weld them onto the new seats

I have Autotechnica seats in mine - I got them from Autobarn. Very happy with them.

I've Also got Celica seats in mine from a Gen5
They were a piece of piss to fit,
I just unclipped the stock seats from their runners which leaves a nice box frame to mount to.

It is best (easiest) if you can mount the seat to a stock frame so it uses the original runners
You need to be careful the seat doesnt sit too high or too low
I have used an Audi base that uses a standard Recaro base. It has 3 holes at the end of a bracket so I can raise or lower

Hi, i have fitted a set of honda prelude seats but they are a pain, the inside pivot plate for the back of the seat are part of the original seat tracks, they had to be drilled out and a plate fabricated on the original frame to locate the plate along with the other three mounting points, my other car has a set of honda CRX seats that mount directly to the flat base with four bolts, all the seats are engineered and use the standard seat base removed from the original seats, this way there was less of a problem gaining approval for the conversion, both seats are aproximatly 25mm lower that standard and this has improved the driving position for myself
