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.
No, FIA 8855-1999 does not expire at the end of 2026. The FIA says the standard is not being withdrawn, and its current list shows seats manufactured into 2029 and valid into 2034. Here is what the date on your seat label really means, and when it matters.
The belts actually built for a Lotus Exige, why the car-specific Schroth set stops at the S2, what a V6 Exige S owner should do instead, and the FIA date rule that bites on a tracked car.
The belts actually built for a Lotus Elise, why a generic road harness is not the cheaper option it looks, the roll bar the shoulder straps hang off, and the FIA date rule that catches Lotus owners out.
Seats for a Volkswagen Polo Mk6. The Cobra direct fit subframe, the reclining seats that bolt straight to it with nothing modified, the Nogaro fixed backs, and which Nogaro not to buy if you are tall.
