Great! Fortunately bought some b23 a while ago in anticipation - looks like theyre out of stock in most places! i guess for the inner OEM seat buckle i can just bolt onto the seat side mounts and somehow bend it out... The recaro subframe has a nice angled side piece to specifically deal with this.

How have people solved the harness lap belt fixing on the outside, when maintaining the oem 3point too? Re-using the existing belt slider bolt with a schroth b23 or similar?

Envious! Wish i was there… just sweating in the back of the clio messing with bolts. B4391 starting at ffestiniog to the a4212, turn around at the end pull-in and go back again (or on to/past bala if you’re heading home) Never tried it in the clio but i imagine if you’re hustling it’d be...

looks much tidier! can't see the subframe which already implies they're lower than the recaro one which i suspect is 10-12cm in height. i guess the sparco one is this? https://en.oreca-store.com/sparco-seat-subframe-for-renault-clio-iii-october-2005-or-later-right.html although there's 3...

gotcha - how tall are those sparcos? that inner harness hole is something i need to think about. I re-used the oem belt buckle on passenger side (recaro subframe has a mounting hole that’s poorly designed..) so wanna repeat that for the driver side. But also need harness hole. Maybe just drill...

some photos of this weekend's work: official recaro sub-frame ('direct fit' ... bs) for LHD Passenger seat, and stock recaro side mounts, mounted on top of OEM renault sliding rails. more details on the recaro pole position thread but generally not bad - just not as good as the price demands...

going to keep the LHD passenger subframe setup, by reversing the side mounts and drilling some custom holes i've managed to get an acceptable height for a passenger (given their position is less important vs driver side seat/wheel/pedal positioning). i've returned the RHD subframe and recaro...

i think Supreme has these with correct fitment etc - can chat to @R27WTF i had the same questions before i got my car, one day i'll buy some (from supreme..) :D

i actually have a stock one that i took off and replaced with the ebay toyosport. there's a crack in one flexi. I'd assume you'd need a replacement flexi and some welding skills to fix it up. i'm not sure how you'd judge whether it's repairable but happy to look at it and provide photos...

love the detail in the posts on this project - incredibly helpful for us amateurs trying to copy bits :smiley: (or avoid problems in the case of your gearbox...) What's the wheels you're running on track? I've got the 200 cup wheels but they do seem a little lost in the wheel arches - when i...

yeah just need to pick some harnesses - ideally black with yellow logo detail to match the theme! that'l probably finish the clubsport main pieces, just need to get some tracks booked in now... preferably with other clios i can follow and learn from :D

Cage (JP Cages) has arrived :grimacing: looks lovely, very similar yellow to the car paint which is nice. going to have a bash at fitting this weekend. also seat subframes etc arrived but not sure these are going to go the distance.. they're just too tall. details on...

That’s a nice solution. I can drill my side mounts to angle them forward but i’m sure there’s a better option. I’m tempted to just return the lot and go with the direct to floor side mounts from Supreme. surprising how little information about seat mounting is online (not just clios either!)

Ok - so finally the parts arrived.. generally... eugh. The (official) recaro adaptor subframes specifically for Clio Mk3: 1. they do not direct fit to the car, they rely on you using the standard sliders off the stock seats. 2. they are TALL .. i mean, a slim low profile bucket seat with...

hah - seen here after demolishing 5000 flies: obviously the clio is not the aston - but abnormally i drove them back to back and the clio steering feel (which is probably also partly due to the zero padding on retrimmed alcantara wheel) is remarkably similar. the v12vs is not a typical aston...

Another solid experience with Two Techs - can certainly recommend the guys there - super helpful, friendly and a great attention to detail. They've also coded out the seat airbags. Quick review on the Vibra Technics engine mounts (based solely on the return trip from two-techs on the M25, some...

Fitted a dark ice designs gas strut for the bonnet - got bored of faffing with the stay and hitting my head. Nice bit of kit, but fiddly to mount one end despite being relatively straight forward instructions! took me a while to work out how to remove the flanged nut (need a spanner on the...

I've ordered the recaro subframe adaptor from GSM / sportseats4u, along with a sliding rail, some of the endurance seat belt brackets and some schroth b23as just in case. I'll report back what works in case anyone else has to work this out in future.. also ordered some M8 30mm bzp 10.9 and...

I guess i’ll continue to share my research… ktec do a subframe that seems to act as an adaptor -to which you could use recaro side mounts or sliders: https://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=5740&appid=3 Gsm / sportseats4u does a recaro mount, its not really clear what exactly this is…...

Are the MRF used from the cup racers? Are they intended for 8j wheels?
