I think you're referring to Ratko's car?

He has Celica seats but if I'm not mistaken there was some major custom work that was required for the seats to fit...

BTW, the new Camry SE leather seats are probably the most comfortable (for driving, not necessarily racing) this side of a BMW M5.

Maybe you could buy a similar seat and just swap the rails... ?

Yes, I have the new celica seats in my car but a local speed shop had to saw off the stock bolt holes from the celica seats then re-weld them onto some custom adapter plates.

About $350 CAN for the installation. Im sure that varies from shop to shop.

Seats are really expensive and you should look for a comfortable cushion as well as that racing style seat...But once you change the seat to a racing one then you should change the seatbelts as well or don't wear them and kill yourself... j/k

I had my passenger seat out this weekend (setting up my amp that's under there) and I took a look at how hard it would be to put ANY seat into a Gen3. It is cake, all you would need to do is bolt on a piece of STRONG metal to the new seat, then bolt the rails onto that metal. I'm now looking into racing seats that will look good with my interior and fit well. Any suggestions? I am planning on going to Performance Unlimited in London to try and find something. We'll see. Suggestions...

Agreed. I would trade my first born for a set of Sparco Torinos.
