Front Seat Alternatives

Bringing this back from the dead

I found a couple of sets of seats online from a 7th gen celica.

Want to know if these are direct bolt on before I pull the trigger

Unfortunately i don't think any gen of celica is a direct fit. I bought a set on some elses advise and found that the brackets did not match up. By the time you fabricate a new bracket and clean the seats up it might be better just to buy a set of racing seats that will bolt in.

The rail width is the same as the first gen '99-'05 chassis. Not sure about the newer gen. I have Celica seats in my car, but I had to swap the rails from my stock seats to do it. I was quite involved because the rails don't unbolt, they had to be disassembled.

Can you post pics of the seats in the car and the rails

[Bluevitz-rs]

Not much to see from the rails. Only difference was the physical locations of the bolting points from the Echo seats to the Celica seats.

I'll snap a pict later for you though.
