Hi guys. Need a few opinions regarding the issue below. I'm in South Africa and it's difficult to get info here as the car is rare.
My car, when I purchased it, did not have the JDM DC2 Recaros, but I managed to source a set of DC5 Recaros & ordered a set of original DC2 ITR recaro rails.
When my JDM DC2 ITR Recaro rails finally arrived. I wasted little time in bolting them up to my DC5 Recaro's and they were an easy fit into my 98 JDM ITR.
That is, until I closed the doors. This is a rhd car, so on the left, the passenger side, there's adequate clearance, but for some strange reason, on the drivers side, both the thigh and upright bolster make contact with the door.
Any explanation for this?
Rails seemed fine & in a good condition overall.
But, If you look at the rear bolt on both outer rails, the rear screw cap was
missing, so I just painted a set of dome nuts & fitted them.
Measurements from outer rail to step sill on both sides are the same.
Driver's side:
Outer rail:
Seat to door:
Inner rail:
Passenger side:
