Hi Everyone, Has anyone ever fitted RX7 seats into a Vitara? (I have an 89 Vit so any year with a similar interior, The RX is an FD not sure if the seats changed too much through the models) I've been offered a set at a really good price and am pretty keen to get them in the Vit if they'll fit. I can't get dimensions for them at the moment because they're sitting in an insurance yard somewhere, which is why i'm asking here  Thanks! |

fitting any aftermarket seats in a vit is a pain in the ass. rx7 will be no exception |

Yup. You'll need to make custom mounts |

I can’t comment on the RX7 seats but I have some Honda Prelude seats (series 4, about the same age as the Vit) that are about to go into mine. You will need to make mounts/frame because the Vit seats have longer legs on one side. If I spent the amount of time I spent fabbing mine up as a backyarder at work instead I could have bought gold plated Recaros, but I am happy with the result. |

Just a word of warning having now bought my second set of second hand “production car” seats to try and fit that the 2 sets I own don’t have even mounting points and would need some packing (10-15mm) on some corners to bolt to a flat frame. Anyone want a set of sexy leather Liberty seats that are about 30mm too wide for a Vitara – had to build the frame to work that one out? |

I have a set of vitara seat mounts Ollies made for his vit sitting under my house with leather seats on them. I have sold the seats but the mounts are still there if your interested mate. (they are made of solid 3mm plate and weigh a shit load!) Dave |

thanks for the insight guys. Thought it might be a pain in the arse to get them to fit, they're just too comfy to not try! I've had someone offer to make mounts up but I was told when he made his own up he didn't measure a thing, it was all by eye  I'm up in QLD at the moment so when I get back I'll suss them out again and see if they'll be any good. |
