I have for sale a set of Recaro rails, or rather a full bolt in fitting kit to suit a MK2 (SW20 or SW21) MR2.
Price: 280 Euro
What you will need to complete your handling upgrade:
* Any Recaro Speed or SR3 type seat, with bolt measurements of: 30cm x 40cm
* An MR2!

What's included:
* Recaro sliders
* Recaro Adapter brackets for the MR2
* Bolts/fixings/washers

The good:
* The first thing you will notice when sitting in a Recaro equipped MR2 is that the seats really hold you in tight when cornering. It really does become a handling upgrade.
* These sliders are original Recaro equipment, made in Japan and specifically for the MR2. In typical Japanese fashion the steel is high quality and robust without being overly heavy. These sliders work faultlessly.
* When using this kit the seat rails are positioned as low as possible to get maximum headroom.
* This bracket/slider combination actually gives more forward and backward adjustment than what the Toyota Recaro rails offer.
* The adjustment bar has a very positive engagement and works first time every time. Compared to the Toyota system of a pulling wire that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't (or breaks) it's an upgrade!
The bad:
* Due to the design of the rail, part of the interior trim fouls on the rail. To get around this you can either leave it sitting slightly forward (does not affect functionality) or alternatively make a discreet cut out with a dremel to allow clearance for the bracket.

Why I am selling: I changed over to the Toyota rails that were designed for Recaros. As outlined in 'The good' in some ways these were a downgrade, although I didn't know this when I bought them.
Preference is being given to buyers located in Ireland. If there's no takers here in three months then I will open up the sale to outside of Ireland.
