Just installed!

I got a call last year from a fellow car nut who told he had a pair of Recaros just sitting around and wondered if they would fit the Porsche. Well, job is done my son installed these in a matter of an hour or so. For those asking - yes a colour change is in the works for the interior.

Did they bolt right in, or were special adapters rigged up?

Those look like factory VW Recaros, from a 91-92 GTI or Jetta GLI. Great seats.

They "bolt" right in. You need to bore out a couple of holes at the front of the original tracks and we shimmed it so the handles work properly. And yes they came out of a VW Trophy. They have been in the basement for years unmolested and are in very good condition! Went for a nice long drive this afternoon - very comfortable!
