Hand wheel or quick tilt lever? Close up photographs of the recline mechanism on eight seats from Auto Style, Cobra, Corbeau, Recaro and Sparco, what each one is like to use, how each one tips forward for the back seats, and how to pick between them.
The five reclining sport seats we recommend for the Mazda MX-5 Mk1 NA and Mk2 NB, with a full guide to the Cobra H-frame adaptor bars that bolt to the car’s existing floor frame and preserve the factory sliding adjustment.
A customer asked about Recaro Sportster CS seats for a 1990 Porsche 964 C2. The seat is drilled 405mm by 290mm and the Cobra 964 subframe is drilled to Cobra’s own 291mm by 330mm, so here is the Planted Technology setup we recommend and what it costs per seat.
What to do when your seat is a brand we do not stock: the two measurements that settle it, the patterns to compare them against, and why we will point you at another maker’s bracket if that is the right answer.
Every Custom Cages roll cage kit for Vauxhall and Opel: Astra, Corsa, Cavalier, Nova, Chevette, Firenza, Viva, VXR8, Kadett, Ascona and more. Bolt-in and weld-in, CDS and T45, with current UK prices across all 38 kits.
What it takes to fit bottom mount Recaros from an Evo 5 into a Honda Integra DC2, why the two lowest DC2 mounts are closed to you, and the one measurement to take first.
Motordrive sent over photos of Ben Sharpe Racing’s Honda Civics on Motordrive seats. Which model the team chose, why it suits a caged race car, and the full range you can come and sit in at our Nottingham showroom.
A 2005 MG ZS+ 110 in XPower Grey, built the week MG Rover went under and bought nineteen years later. Two years of receipts in his own photographs: the hacked up loom, the head gasket, the clutch, the headliner done over a washing machine, and the forged turbo K Series still to come.
A 106 and a pair of Recaro Sportster CS seats the customer already owns. Why the Sparco frame we normally recommend will not take them, the OMP plate that will, the Recaro runners on top, and the two bits of adapting nobody mentions.
Three mounting zones matter when fitting a harness to a roll cage: the harness bar for the shoulders, floor mounts for the lap belts, and a crotch strap point on the tunnel. This page covers what each zone needs and when to raise it with Custom Cages before the order goes in.
Recaro Sportster CS seats into a Ford Focus Mk2: the usual Planted bracket and Recaro double locking runner works properly on one half of this car and not at all on the other. Which half you have decides the whole job.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Ford Orion Mk1 and Mk2, with the Cobra subframe that covers both generations, includes the sliding runners in the price, and bolts to the factory floor mounting points without drilling.
