Acura seats in an e30?

[gearheadE30]

Crimson or cardinal? There were two colors of red iirc, and the crimson is rarer.

BTW you might try looking into honda s2k seats. They can be had fairly cheaply and sit very low.

they are a color called crimson i guess its rare? the only other person i know who has it is on here jasonC

I have those and they are the sport seats. Not in my current e30 but a parts car I have. Not a huge fan but I have kept them for some reason.

I really like those prelude seats. I wonder if they make them in tan....

ive never seen them in tan...ive seen grey and blue thats it...too bad you arent near me there is another set at the yard...but they are the blue ones...if you can find the prelude SI ones they have adjustable side bolsters that when you turn the knob they get closer to hold you tighter

Great looking seats and install. But the OP mistyped, he's actually looking at tan gsr's. AKA not worth it.

I was thinking of putting some type r seats into my e30 because the sport seats are so damn hard to find in tan leather! What do you guys think?

Type R seats are just Recaro SRD's (an older version of the Recaro Speed). Since SRD's came stock in the E30 M3 Evo III, you can still buy factory mounts for them. But they end up being pretty high.

I have a set in my E30 that I mounted using custom brackets so they'd be lower to the floor. These came out of my mechanic's Japanese-market Lancer Evolution II GSR:





I love them. Most comfortable seats I've ever used in any car (including the Recaro Sports in my Evo VIII).

You can fit Captains chairs in an E28

WEll gsr seats aren't worth it in my opinion.

ya, I meant the tan gsr seats. I know the is seats look the best, but they are impossible to find! Mine are all ripped up and I dont want to pay a ton of money getting them rewrapped. The integra seats are everywhere and they feel pretty good. Just looking for options... I talked to my mechanic and he said he would be able to fit them in pretty easily.

^ After posting those pics...you probably started a new trend for the e30 community.

haha yay!

What type r seats came in tan? I thought the jdm ones were red and the usdm ones were the same but black (maybe red stitching). Are you talking gsr leathers?

Either way I'd just look for the oem sport seats. I love mine, even though they are really worn out they are comfy and hold me well. I'm pretty thin too, so that might have something to do with them. I think the sport seats will just look more natural in the e30. I'm sure you could sell genuine type - r seats and buy something else for the BMW and pocket some cash.
