evo 4 recaro seats

Im looking at a set of bucket seats just now and wondered if the above seats are an easy fit? can i get rails for them or do i have to mod the standard r rails?

thanks in advance

youll need to mod the gtir rails
also the evo4 seats are very narrow so you best be smallish or youll find theyll dig in the sides or your arse lol, bloody uncomfortable

thanks bob, i thought there would be modding to do, do you think welding will be invoved or just bolting more metal to the rails etc? yeah im hoping i fit in them as i love the seats but may have to get on the excercise bike and make me fit in them

ive never tried fitting them before in a pulsar but if you have no facilities to weld im sure you could do the same by using nuts n bolts and a drill, obviously if you have access to a welder it will be better as nuts and bolts can come loose after a time

perfect cheers ill give it a bash

Good luck, think you will find they wont fit. I had the the same set for mine had to sell them on. the seat base is too wide for the pulsar floor. you would need to cut the centre consule between the seats for additional room and customise a rail. even then dont think they will as the pulsar driver side is weird, i assume due to the prop tunnel.

That pissed on that parade lol how much wider is the base? my son in law has the same seats fitted in hes glanza they are a tight squeeze though.

Really so what seats will fit?, if those recaros dont fit then is there any bucket seats that will? i know modding the rails will be required but i didnt think about any sort of fitment issues as i assumed the seats would be slightly narrower than standard

these are practically the same seats???

thats strange as ive seen evo 4 seats fitted in a pulsar before, the later 5&6 seats are a lot wider so are you sure they had not been swapped at some stage chris?

not sure whats involved but im sure they will fit with a bit of modding involved

I have an evo 4 .. is there anything you want me to measure ?

must be possible this pulsar one ebay has evo 4 seats fitted

Much appreciated thank you, maybe if you have a moment to measure the base but judging by the ebay link it sure looks possible thanks again

Whenever ive made up frames for seats with using orignal frames i found using flat steel bar 15-20mm wide around 6mm thick you can use it to bolt to the bottom of the seat then bridge over the oe frame runners if that makes sense then weld it together or bolt.

Apologies all around, mine must have been Evo 5 seats, i thought the 4,5,and 6 were all the same seats. But they definitely wouldn't fit. I was after the Evo 7 seat cause they are narrower but can't source any at a decent price. I stand corrected.
