Seat swaping - Subframes

Post by Bikerz »

Hi

I have been offered some corsa VXR seats cheap (Recaro CS). Can I buy Polo 9N subframe kit like this http://garry.motorsportworld.co.uk/fram ... 0Subframes

Will they bolt in bolt out?
Anyone advise which are best subframes to buy? (I dont want to start welding as I did that in last car)

Cheers

And have you planned how you will get around passing an MOT with an airbag light on?

Actually, 9N3 Turbo has his airbag connected with his recaro cs seats. -- http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... &start=150

Yeah, I've heard a few people suggest that, but surely, if you stuck a resistor in, wouldn't it just stay off? rather than coming on, then turning off?

As long as its the same resistance as the airbag wiring it tricks the control unit into thinking its perfectly normal and ascts as it should :)

Cheers guys. I will just measure resistance of current seats and then put a resistor of same value in and all airbags (bar seat) will work as normal. Recaro even do the connect and resistor in a kit to make it easy. I have a pair in my TT with recaro pole positions and a recaro resistor connector.
