Recaro - what's the big deal?

[Blocksmith]

andy... you can drive it sittin on a milk crate... but you cannot drive it with 1/5 less engine... seats are neet.. but can be gotten at any point down the road...

p.s. i hate leather... they suck int he cold.. they really suck in the summer... ive only owned 1 car with leather.. and compaired to my cloth replacement.. there is a huge differance driving in summer with leather vs cloth.. even in the shade they make your arss sweat..

wisdom right there. if money's tight (as it certainly is in my situation), a reliable drivetrain is the most important thing, i should think.
but, having said that, it doesn't mean that i'm not going to keep my eyes open for a good deal on a nice interior to swap into my ragged out rabbit

Yeah, too right dudes.  I just wish they didn't perfectly match my interior color.  I guess if you love something let it go.

 . . . And 'seat-of-your-pants' torque over 'sit-on-your-ars' leather any day!

Recaros on the local forum go for 500$ and up depending on the condition

[Vangruver]

And recaro's brand new go anywhere from 700-3000 per chair brand new.

Getting a pair for 500, even if it's 20+ years old, and in good condition is a good value.

Many good points, Thanks for your thoughts, I hope to view them on Thursday or Friday.

Recaros lock you in place in a very comfortable way. If you're a...spirited driver like myself, you need them! If you're suspension is in decent shape, you will find your car handles much better than your thought. I was shocked when I found out how much grip my Rabbit had past the point where the stock seats tried to put the gear shift up my bum

I checked them out and they are in brand new condition and feel better than i thought.

They are from a 91 glx same year as mine, i am going to buy them

Now i just have to wait and see what my wife is going to buy of equal or greater value

Yep, as with most purchases you get your and then double it as she gets hers and maybe even betters ya.

That is why I have an account in the bank solely dedicated to me and what I want to buy with it.  She does the same.  As I earn money outside the main job it goes into my car account. 

That way when I buy a set of seats for 350 they ONLY cost me 350. 

Glad you got them, you won't be sorry.
