hi guys i am upgrading my mini seats , and wanted a set of honda prelude seats like :

was wondering how people have mounted them , and if they had any pictures

thanks in advance

I have the exact same seats fitted into my car and they are very comfortable, I will try and take a picture of the subframes I made up for them tonight or if thats not very clear I will do a drawing so you can at least get an idea how I mounted them

cheers mark , how tall are you if you dont mind me asking ? , also do you have yours on runners?

[darky32]

I am 6ft and yes they are on runners leg room isn't too bad (made it from bournemouth to exmouth without any problems or cramps)...if I was fitting them all over again I would make a few changes to give myself extra legroom but on the whole they are great

Thank very much for the link mark , just a couple of question , do the rails for the honda seats sit level ?( i brought a set of recaros and 1 rail is about an inch higher then the other so would sit to high) also do they foul the rear bins by much ?

thanks again mark

[darky32]

From memory I think one side was about 6mm higher than the other so I added a piece of 6mm bar to level it up, they dont catch on the rear bins at all.
On the front on the honda base I cut off the two feet that drop down so that I could sit the bar on there level

no worries just ask away any questions, but you wont regret fitting them they are comfy

well im 6ft , so being to high is abit of an issue , what are they like height wise ?

cheers mark

[darky32]

Height wise I dont have a problem with them, but adjusting the height the subframes spaced will give you some room for movement
