I found some RECARO seats! But have a few ?s

[Losiracer2]

I got these the other day off CL because I couldn't believe how cheap they were. I'm hoping they're real, which I think they are b/c of the quality of craftsmanship, and the way the seat recline mechanism functions w/ no slack compared to my current racing seats which are knockoffs and have tons of slop...but here goes.

Anyone know what kind of Recaros these are..ie: name/style? I need to get the little plastic trim pieces for where the harness goes through, most likely all 4 of them b/c they're cracked and damaged. I also was wondering how I would hook up my stock seatbelts to them? My current racing seats have a hole where the stock 17mm bolt can be secured....these don't. I'm hoping I won't need to get Recaro specific brackets...I know a guy that can weld pretty well though...think he could find someway of attaching a nut to the side so i can secure the seatbelt buckle?

I'm thinking about reapolstering the bottom cushion b/c its weather cracked and most likely pretty old.








^^^^the right one is missing the plastic piece in the back, thats why you can see the foam material inside.

How much did you pay for them? Recaro seats are so easy to come by so these better have been cheap.

yeah i already have brackets for my current racing seats I had to custom weld 1/4 inch thick steel stock to the OEM rails, I'm thinking they'll fit on those b/c the Recaros have those same 4 holes.

I was so tempted to just buy another stock rail and modify the hell out of it.

go return those seats and get your money back. while your at it, punch the guy in the face for telling you those are real.

what makes them not real? Are they supposed to have emblems somewhere? The reclining mechanism is WAYYYY better than my Yonaka Racing Seats...which are for sure knockoffs, so thats why I thought they were the real deal.

those look chinese.

[Losiracer2]

how do you ID them to see if they're real or not? anyone know?

fake or not those look cool still.

[wed3k]

those arent factory at all, look at those cracks and the missing piece. it doesnt even look like natural wear.

that should give you an idea. always look for tags, engravements, stamps, serial numbers, part numbers. plus the seat adjuster are never like those on recaros.

[Julianachos]

At least he did say he wasn't sure if they were real or not.

but for 200 bucks? he got hit real bad with the jipped stick.
