Ok so i just got new bucket seats for the fto...they didnt come with any rails

so just wondering whether a seat rail to suit a lancer or mirage would suffice?

any help would be appreciated.

What brand are the seats? Yahoo Japan always has a big selection of FTO rails to suit the brand names, like Sparco & Recaro etc.

yeah the auctions or import monster

as for monza seats i'm unsure if they use same mounting points to rails as recaro or sparco, momo etc

i researched this and found no other car seems to share rails with FTO either so you will have to get aftermarket ones, but expect a high cost esp with exchange rates to japan

check them to see if fit first
if not then i'll be happy to buy them if they are at good price ;) as i just modded my FTO rails so they sit just a fraction to high :cry:

just a little hard to do atm as car in NZ still :lol: , all i did was put a couple of brackets across so seats could be bolted and chopped the actual side of rails down so they could fit in them and i could still use existing bolts to the floor
