The tittle is no typo
After getting the full EVO interia some months ago ( about 8)

Passenger side all fitted and so easy
just the drivers and retrim the rest at current rate should be finished by 2012

Tell you what, you could look for a crashed V6 sport and nick the rear seats and door cards from that - the blue would be a pretty close match to the recaros you have there!

How much work was it to fit the seat and do yu get full movement control? I really want to fit some electic, heated, leather, comfy seats from another car but I wonder how much work I'd need to do with runners.
I really like those and I could live without leather for the right set of seats.

I do have the rest of the EVO including door cards to retrim to match bench is so close it is irritatingly far away
I have full functionality of the seat the back rest is a bit tight to get to though but those with more girly hand may be ok my gorilla mitts struggle
To be honest to fit IT I used about 3m of steel plate50mmx5mm
I will take a picture

1. Cut 2 lengths off 1 about 660mm and 1 about 700 to go as diagonals
2. In 1 drill 2 holes about 11mm diameter with 615mm between centers and on was 630mm between centers
3. Cut 2 lengths to suit new runners after removing brakects
4. Drill 9mm hole in this plate to suit bolt hole spacing 13.5inches
5. Fit diagonals some bending may be required I also bent the stud in the floor to a more vertical position
6. To mount seat to diagonals drill and tap m8 to suit correct position
7. I used a 5mm washers on the front of the rail and it was about 70mm spacer on the rears to level the seat
8. Enjoy and do check dimensions
