took out my old shot 914 seats, and am installing some 911/993 seats tight fit but will work well.
I need some advice regarding the wiring, if anyone out there has attemted similar? with the pig-tails hooked up under the seat the other ends have 3 wires(i assume these would have gone to the fuse/relay bank in a 993). These 3 wires are : red, black and brown. I was connect the red(Positive?) to a new fuse/breaker which in turn would go to the battery(+) , then the negative direct to the battery(-)(black?), but is the brown/tan a ground or ??? can't find a wiring schematic or discussion showing what is what on that model, any help would be appreciated!

Ok I've been in the 914 mindset with the controls Q. Sigh.
Built-in seat controls. Not used to that outside the daily luxury driver. Electric... Mirrors. moonroof, windows, doorlocks, trunk popping, alarms.... ? Disregard my previous comments. Not my idea of what fits the car, but by all means, I look forward to hearing how this works out. Sweet seating for sure. |

Rand: well, I looked at the cost of having the originals redone- it would have cost 2-3x more, i would have had seats that for me-6'2" too short- not safe, and they are shot- These are still out of a porsche- a 911(1998), many have put upgraded 911 parts in these, I will bet very few are original everything. I will keep the originals-maybe someday...but for now i found these for a great price, better safety and comfort. they look good- i will post pic soon. I know what you mean, though, makes my stomach turn when guys tear appart a 914 to part out for the money when it could be saved!!! Thanks for the input, Phil |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) hey, I know where you are coming from, i struggled over the decision but in the end i like the support of these seats. Funny thing though, i just spoke with a local auto trim guy who has done some amazing things for some guys here locally in the car club, he said that Recaro makes a replacement seat for 914's!!- bolts right on to original mounts. might be something to look at in future(recaro made all of the 911/993 seats in the 1990's not sure if they still do). Will be posting some pics soon( having trouble with the download) Phil |
