Recaro in Ralliart

Postby Mez » Tue Feb 02, 2010 3:01 am

Ok, not sure how many know about this or not (cause I know some would).
I checked the US site for mitsu the other day and was suprised by the fact that, when you can customise your car (extras) recaro seats were one of the optoins on the RA. I wish they would do it here, it was about the $2 grand mark in US dollars.

Aside from the fact you dont actually have an RA - thats not bad. Apparently the custom built recaro's in the Evo's were valued around 5g's. Maybe the ones in the 'option' arent the EvoX specific seats, just generic recaros?

They would have been the proper recaros - you can buy the evo x recaros in Australia from mitsi, but they'll set you back around $6500 each. I filled out the survey once I bought the ra (and mentioned it everytime they rang / sent a link) to have the recaros as an option. Hopefully they'll put it in as an option in the 2011 ra
we are fascinated by that which can destroy us...

$6500 for a seat sounds so crazy, two seats and you could buy a half decent r33 skyline which probably already has some recaro's :shock:

I know I don't have a RA but if I ever get a new car it will have that badge or better on it even if it takes a decade or two :)
I would still like to get one for the drivers side though.
