Fancy a bit of a change interior wise, the Meridian seats are ok but are starting to let the rest of the interior down now.
U-Pull-It in Inverkeithing does full interiors from ANY car for £80.
Any suggestions what to look for?
Also if seats were electronically adjusted etc.. is it just a case of supplying 12v to the switch panel or is there more to it than that?
So far i've been looking at the red/black leather MG ZS seats, would be a similar size to a 306 on the inside and tbh I think they look quite nice, not too much red and definitely more supportive anyway.
Suggestions please.

Yeah, don't want to be a copy cat though, and wouldn't be able to get a rear bench to match. Also not many breakers round here have RX7's/sporty stuff.
Would be the quivalent sports range of seats from things like volvo's, mg's, older bimmers, jap stuff..

I actually saw a set on eBay for £99 less than 5 miles from me. SO tempted.
Not a clue how to start fitting them though

These are the ZS seats, only with red flashes instead of blue. They actually look REALLY comfy to me

pug 405 executive/mi16 leathers are amazingly comfy, if you can find any that is. the frames should be the same as 306 seats too, not 100% if the rear bench would be a straight fit but i cant see it been that much work if you went that route,
just depends on the look your after...
those bimmer seats look almost exactly like 405 exec seats!!

I've just messaged the guy with the E36 interior. Worth a punt, even to sell on for a quick buck.
Well.. he's accepted £90 cash collected for the Bimmer seats. Are they as comfy as they seem? Don't want to go see them and go "ehmm.. nahh, no thanks"

Yeah i'm gonna convince the missus they're an investment. He's had three offers of £90, they've been on eBay less than a day. I need transport tomorrow, f*ck!

Rx8 seats mate 
And yes, they do black and leather heated full electric ones (controlled in a built in seat controller so just needs a earth and line unlike a lot of seats which have a separate ECU)

Niall did you just bolt them to standard runners, or did you knock up some box section?

Very simple to fit on the original runners with a small amount of welding and some small bits of 4mm steel!
If you decide to go ahead, ive got my drawings (yes i used crayons) and can get some photos to send you.

Impreza Turbo seats are cheap these days, me and a mate got a good condition pair for about £40 IIRC (Its just a gaming chair for the moment though lol)

With regards to electrics, surely you would have to make sure the new seats are not from a canbus car?
