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
Futue te ipsum!!!

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
