Title: Will TII Seats Fit an EGI?
Post by: Retro_Boy_G on March 17, 2009, 10:13:33 AM
Well after some wasted hours of trying and trying to get a set of Sparcos fitted to my EGI it just never happened.. So instead of spending loads more money on bucket seats i\'m wondering if the TII seats will fit my car? From being in Jimi_Hendrix\'s TII i have realised they are much comfier and a lot nicer than the EGI ones i have..

Basically i would like to know will they fit.. and if anyone knows anyone who has the seats available (blue prefferably) then that would be appreciated.

If it\'s of any use to anyone then i am selling some aftermarket seat frames in the sales section!

Appreciated! :)

seats as far as I am aware are totally interchangeable as the floor pan is the same.

i think the TII only came with a black/grey interior - so not a chance of finding blue ones mate

It must be the grey ones i have seen. If this is the case then i would much prefer the black ones then. Cheers dude :)

These are the ones i seen. The more i look the more they appear to be grey, at first glance i thought they were blue.

sheeesh.

so do the seats sit high because of the frames or because of the seats?

Im really a fan of the rx7 driving position, don\'t really want to sit higher.

Also are the frames universal or only for specific buckets?

Well, I think it was a bit of both to be honest.. i think they sit a little higher than the standard but the seat was also too tall at the back for the car.

They are marked "Bride" on them so I\'m guessing they are built for Bride seats but i managed to attach the Sparco seats with no problem at all.
