Forester seats --> Micra - Take 2 |

i recently installed some forester seats into the micra, using the forester rails...
comfy, but the back of the seat sat up to high, the front part (under the knees) was around the same height but the micra ones the butt part sits quite a bit lower the other problem is they wouldn't fold nearly as far forward as the micra ones did which was a PITA after only two days it involved gutting both the seats and transferring the padding and covers onto the micra bits will probly be making a vid on how to do this for anyone interested, and will have some pics when i get home... but it turned out pretty well i reckon! heres a pic, sorry bout the crap phone quality, gotta grab the rest off the camera |

as we've discovered turbo, i'm a bit tight when it comes to modifying :D
whole interior (front and back) was $200... and matches the look, is legal blah blah pretty happy with it anyways, but gonna back more foam into the ass of the seat so its squishy |

seats and little effort don't really go together unless you give someone some money to weld you up a seat frame, there's another thread floating around here about that

yeh its easy if you get bride rails and bride seats, or recaro rails and recaro seats, that said, the jdm rails still have to be very slighty modified (cut and rewelded) because the jdm floorpan is slightly different.
