actually, I would kind of like to know myself...I don't want to spend allot of time fab'ing seat brackets since there are so many other things on my car that need time and work, so if there are seats that are close to drop in, that would be some handy info...

what would be nifty is a list of seats people have found from the wrecking yard that bolt in without allot of work, I am sure there are more people than just myself who would like to have a list when they head to their local junkyard.

 

yeah Datside, that is a bit too much for me right at the moment. Several of my friends have purchased front and rear seats for their various cars out of the local wrecking yard for $40-$75 for a whole set in good condition, and as little as $30 for two front seats...I will probably look into that first :)

The problem with that is... no one wants to be the guinea pig and spend the money just to "test" a seat. Even if they're cheap, it's still spending money on something that might get stuck in your garage for a while, and seats take up space!

that is true, but I have seen lots of ratsuns with junkyard seats, so just compiling a list of what people have found fits would be nice, so hopefully this thread may end up that way!

I've got Tiburon GT seats. I think I found somebody on here that had them already and gave them a try. Had to make a new rear mounts and just pounded the front mounts flat.

Might have been my post, it's what I have in mine and I posted them a while ago so add my vote to the Tiburon seats. They are really nice and don't carry the premium that Acura seats probably will. I think I paid like $150 - $200 for the fronts and back, it's been a while.

i put some old z seats in my old 71wagon. they were pretty easy to put in and looked pretty much like they belonged there. just swap the z seat mounts out and bolt on the old 510 ones. then reposition them in the car and drill and necessary holes in the front support and the floor at the rear(i think i only had to drill new holes for 1 side of each seat,but place them however they're comfortable from side to side for elbow room near the doors). if the need recovered that's fine,you can order replacement covers,and probably have the fronts and rear seat made in matching vinyl pattern for a factory look.
