YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, to get back onto topic somewhat I'm still looking for seats and no luck... Ehh, I suppose at this point I'd even consider a nice cloth set. Seems 7GC cloth sets are fairly easy to come by, only problem is I don't recall any of them being black...

That would work, and I guess if it boiled down to it the solid gray would as well... As long as it isn't the funky gray with blue or red.

The black and gray would be spiffy, in fact I'd prefer them. There'd finally be something to tie in with the gray headliner and visors.

Those should be much easier to find over. Our leather seats.
But you'll need to pick up 96+ seat rails from a 6gc to make them work

Doesn't the 7gc back seat fit too?

If I'd go to 7gen fronts I'd have to swap the rear too

I was just going to find a way of forcing the 7GC bottom pan into the 94-95 rail. tongue.gif

Hopefully you remedy this seat situation soon! I have the black/grey cloth seats in my 7gc and tan leather in my 6gc. Both are pretty comfy although I'm noticing the 7g seats aren't great for long distance trips on my back...but they could be worn out as the car has 218k on it already! I also have a full set of cloth seats to sell from my 6gc parts car that are in pretty decent shape.

Hiya mate not been here for a while but yeah the 7gc rears fit straight in without too many issues and the fronts don't quite line up so they'll need a little welding done to fabricate them to mount easily enough

I'd recommend that you don't go for leathers as they wear very quickly and look ****e when they're marked up lol

If you go for the cloth seats from a 7gc 140 if you get them not the 190 version you'll get better seats

Here's mine from my white Celica





And yes I had the 7gc wheel as well, Makes a lot of difference to the interior IMO smile.gif

Some like those would work. Just a matter of finding them and installing them.

If you've got a 94-95 the rails are either slightly different in length or width I can't remember which it was but it's not as much of a pig to do as some expect it to be

Over in the UK the 96+ rails are the same as the others so I'd not expect too much to be different possibly wiring for airbags but that should be about it,

Obviously you'd not be able to use the airbags in the seats from the 7gc

Do you have the 140's over there or just the 190's? GT's or GT-S aren't they :S

You don't have to weld 7th gen seats. You can just swap your old rails over. It's much easier than welding in my opinion.I definitely recommend 7gc seats, they're very comfortable and supportive.

Mine are the 94-95, and we have the GT and GT-S here. Though over here the seats are the same between the two aside from materials used and they don't have airbags in them. Personally I like how the 7GC seats look more than the 6GC seats, the integrated headrest looks nicer to me.

No matching backseat, besides it's impossible to find a MR2-S. Especially one that's being parted out.

Yeah I have the black/grey 7th Gen seats. They're not in yet, but I have to weld the seat rails because I have the 94 seats currently, and finding a junked 96+ around here is impossible. kindasad.gif

I was also contemplating either (a) getting leather seat covers or (b) just dying the cloth straight black... so there are always options if you find a decent set. thumbsup.gif

Sounds easy when you say it like that.

Have you done it?

It's just a matter of figuring out how to get the 7GC seat pan into the 6GC rail. The backs of the seat swap over from my understanding. I'd like to find a set to try it with, what I'm thinking is you'll take the 7GC seat pan and make new bolt holes so that they align with the 6GC rail. I think if you have the 96-99 6GC seats it's just a matter of taking the 7GC cushion and cover and putting them onto the 6GC seat pan. The 94-95 and 96-99 bottom pan and cushion are different. For whatever reason they decided it needed to be changed after two years.

Yep. You just have to swap over the 6gc seat pan and rails and do some piecing together but it works.Ill try to remember everything I did and post pictures when I get the chance.

Where was I.... Ah yes... I'm now on the search for the window regulator cable as that's the only thing wrong and keeping the window from working properly. Outside from the obvious of getting another from a 94-99 Celica I'm wondering if perhaps one out of a Camry or Corolla would be long enough, that or even make one from something else entirely. It'd be stupid to buy another regulator just for that... For the time being I was able to get it where the window is all the way up and disconnected the wiring from the motor so the window can't be rolled down. On a another note it's good to know our cars have some fairly robust side-impact bars.

I'm thinking that'd work out well, would finally have something to tie in with the ceiling of the car.

HUGE update for tomorrow!!! I could tell you now, but what would be the fun without pictures! Plus it's fun to add an air of suspense! Provided it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll be picking it up, and taking pictures of course! Then once I install it, there'll be more pictures! WOO!!!

Psssh, the only badges left on mine are the corporate logos and that's how it's staying. You'll just have to wait and see!
