Title: Front Seats Post by Viper on Mar 10th, 2005, 10:41pm Am I right in thinking these seats are the Recaro ones from the optional sports pack? http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/page4.jpg http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/page5.jpg If so, how rare are they? I'm thinking very... Thanks |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by Richard on Mar 11th, 2005, 1:18am Yes they are the Recaro seats from the sports pack, My Father has these in his and yes they are quite rare along with the wood,leather steering wheel that he also has, :D, But then his is only a Ghia and i have an Ultima, ;D. |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by nick on Mar 11th, 2005, 3:27am Bertie has them in his ghia, along with the wood wheel and chrome soft spokes, but again just a ghia. there was a set went on ebay, for an estate for about £60, 4 is months ago, but they looked ropey NIC |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by craig on Mar 11th, 2005, 6:54am not fully electric if i remember as well........... dont they only go forward and backward electrically..... everything else has to be done manually......and no lumbar support as well.......... others will confirm this though... |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by Nick_H on Mar 11th, 2005, 9:46am I seem to remember a page in the handbook describing the addition/removal of an extra foam rubber pad in the lumbar region of the seat... Not very hi-tech... I could be wonrg! :) Nick H. |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by Dave on Mar 11th, 2005, 1:50pm Hmmm, I wouldn't have minded some recaros though, I normally end up in the glovebox on right hand bends. They may as well have coated the seats with vasaline, they're awful! They DO look good though. The recaros look a bit mad in such a classy car. Of course, Ford should have made an all-out sport version: 24 valve Cosworth Recaro seats Stiffened springs MANUAL gearbox, oooh. Twould have been quite something. As it is, it's a regular comfortable family saloon car with a huge engine... it's a weird compromise, but I like it. D |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by bertie on Mar 11th, 2005, 3:56pm I've got the Recaro sport trim half leather in my 2.3 ghia. This was called the Sport pack A and was an option. It consisted of Recaro sports trim, wood and leather steering wheel and 16 in 12 spoke chrome alloys. The lumbar adjustment is by inserting special recaro pads of different width into the base of the seat back. Tailored to the driver. You then extend the front part of the seat to support the insides of your legs/thighs. Electric movement is up and down, manual pull forward and back. The wingged sides provide incredable support to the upper body and they look the dogs!!! I have the full electric trim in leather in my 2.3 ultima estate and must admit this is as comfy as hell. Full heating etc. I like the saloon as its a rarity...and I like the estate for its practicality. The pair of them will be at Harewood this year. Simon |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by Viper on Mar 13th, 2005, 11:15pm Cool guys. They look like half leathers, are they? I am after these for a Sierra you see. I have Granada leathers now, and I can always rig in the electric lumbar etc from that, but I'm mainly interested cos I wouldn't fall out of these on bends! |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by Richard on Mar 14th, 2005, 11:03am Yes they are half leather, If you find any look for wear on the drivers bolster, the sponge tends to get worn out on both the base and the back rest. |

I always did think an automatic V6 cosworth was an odd combination. Out of curiosity, is it faesible or even possible to fit a 6 speed manual box from another manufacturer to a cossie? (apologies if this is a really stupid question, I'm not in the least bit mechanically minded) Ian |

Title: Re: Front Seats Post by Dave on Mar 14th, 2005, 5:51pm I'm not mechanically minded at all either but.... surely, suuurely it's possible! And if so, I call for someone to take on the challenge. And then stiffen and lower the springs. Hmmm... why has no one done this yet. It should be done. Nowish. Anyone got a spare Scorpio to butcher in the interest of experimentation? I'm sure it'd take an absolute Scorpio cosworth genius/nut/maniac to know how to do it.. the engine management will be all geared toward the auto box. Hmm. I'm rambling. You've got me fantasising, Ian! Dave D |
