vectra gsi seats in a mk3?

[johnsastra16v]

anyone got any pics of the front recaro seats from a vectra b gsi into a mk3??

there was a guy years ago on mig with a white gsi (replica) that fitted them and had them covered in silver/black leather

any pics will do

 

[BenAstra]

Think it was Reno who had some

 

[Alex]

Lee69 used to have them in his iirc and I think scooby also has them in his

 

[Mr Skint]

check reno's diary for recent pics. I belive there is an amount of welding that needs to be done to fit the sub frames

 

[johnsastra16v]

wheres reno's diary? 3dr? 5dr? etc

looking good.

does anyone know if these seats are fully electric?

 

[Mr Skint]

i dont think they are mate, think they are only partially electric

 

[danh]

Speak to scooby, i think he went to the great length of wiring everything up and making them fit properly.

Dont expect them to be easy though

 

[big e]

Seats are only partly electric and need some work to get them to fit in a mk3..

 

[justg]

They need a Mk3 sub frame welding to them and the electrics only control the height adjustment.

 

[reno]

wouldnt bother with the electrics personally. just want the astra frames welded to the vectra base on the seats. they are very firm and nice. deffo worth doing them

 

[johnsastra16v]

was just thinking if they were electric as it would be for a 3door, and being as they dont tilt, having them fully electric would be better

 

[reno]

they do tilt even though they are from a vectra.

 

[johnsastra16v]

they do tilt even though they are from a vectra.

forwards like a 3door seat so the passengers can get in the back???

 

[reno]

yes

 

[johnsastra16v]

how and where as there doesnt seem to be a tilt mechanism??

 

[reno]

do you have a set of these seats? mine tilt. theres a little handle both sides of the seats... look harder

 

[johnsastra16v]

no reno, i dont have these seats but been looking to get some for the gsi

sorry for ant confusion...but by 'tilt', i meant 'recline'

do these seats recline???? lol

 

[reno]

lol its ok, sorry for being ****ty in my reply, left work in a bad mood LOL

the seats recline back and forward. same as normal seats using the round ****s. and also tilt forwards to let passangers out the rear. even though vectras are 5doors, they are recaros and i think its just a standard feature on all of them
