WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
Anyone have one laying around they want to get rid of for cheap? I'm not too particular about the condition as long as there's no massive stains or rips. I want to turn it in to an officer chair for my desk at work!

Check with Jim (TalonFiero) he might still have my old ssl seats?

Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
I want some 9 seats.

Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
Jim sold them. I asked last fall since I wanted to use the fronts and rears for the mirage.

Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
Good luck. I tried making an office chair out of my original mint GSX seat, it didn't go well and I scrapped the project long ago.

Seemed like it would be pretty easy in theory. Bolt a flat piece of metal to the bottom half of a chair (wheels and height adjustment), JB weld seat to the metal part... or am I missing something? |

This might help, http://www.instructables.com/id/Chea...-Office-Chair/
Probably a lot more to it than just welding it together. Car seats are heavy, probably need to center it, and then how about when you sit on it, where is most of the weight going to be and what not. Get the widest base of rolling wheels imo. Also, wouldn't it suck to sit in a car seat all day? My arse falls asleep on road trips... |

Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
Given the weight of most seats I'd weld a square base on the chair to roller wheels or leave it fixed.

Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
It ended up being that car seats are not equal from side to side, the balance is off, and there were a few other things I can't remember. I made the bracket for it and everything, but it looked like ass and didn't feel right. The Recaro chairs were different, a buddy of mine has one and it's pretty cool. You would probably have better luck with aftermarket seats since they are universal from side to side.

Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
^How much does something like that cost??
|
Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
$279, not bad! I wish I knew if it was comfy or not though. I don't think they have them on the showroom at Office Depot :P
|
Re: WTB: Any model Evo Recaro
yeah not horrible considering a executive chair is $150 or so
