Has anyone ever installed Cobra Classic RS seats in a 914 (that you know of)? Any thoughts on them fitting in the stock backpad? I'm ready to take the plunge.

These were the seats installed in my 914 when I got it. Could barely get my legs under the steering wheel and my head hit the targa top. Were too wide, so the PO had REMOVED the hand brake lever & mounting. Don't know their source.
Found a stock set and had them re-done with cloth cushions and welded in new hand brake mountain boss. |

Were too wide, so the PO had REMOVED the hand brake lever & mounting. Don't know their source. Found a stock set and had them re-done with cloth cushions and welded in new hand brake mountain boss. Yeah, those seats look too wide and the bottom cushion looks too thick to fit correctly into a 914. A 911, 944, or 928, but definitely not a 914. I lucked out with the Audi TT seats in the Capri, because I figured those seats were low to the floor, like the stock Capri seats were, and the difference in seating position is negligible. But having to remove the parking brake and such, in my book, is a no go, get different seats. From looking at pics of Acura RSX seats, with how low they are to the floor, and that they're not too wide on the seat cushion, leads me to believe they'd fit correctly into a 914. But, like I said, I'm going to leave the 914 alone, and work on the other projects. I'd only drive the 914 maybe once or twice a week, so I can live with the stock seats. |
