Fronts i think are vadar seats from an e36 M3

Rears look like they are from an e36 touring or something along those lines?

[bmwe30mtech]

I thought the rears are from a touring of some sort also.

Fronts arnt vadar seats from e36.

They are on pistonheads as being removed from an E30 M3 Sport Evo II !

[SPADGE]

Think i'm wrong re the fronts actually

[Theo]

Those look nothing like sport evo seats, see below


Whatever they are they are horrid and not from an e30, although the rear headrests look like they could be E30 cab/m3 items.

[Theo]

What the feck is a sport evo II anyway?

[kuntz_de]

i am 99% sure these are not bmw seats at all

i think they are sierra cosowrth andy rouse "winged" recaro seats. could be wrong though ??

what i do know is ...

1 they are not e30 sprort seats
2 not the high back recaro either
3 or sport evo recaso SRD's

it looks like they have bmw subframes, the lever for adjustment to and from sterring wheel/pedals looks like an e30 type one, so maybe they have been adapted to fit into an e30 form an other car.

I thought exactly the same mate!
Its just the subframes look BMW, like you say
Its a while since i've seen a 302R or a 304R,but from memory, they do look like them.

Exactly right.

100% roouse seats

[bmwe30mtech]

Thanks, was just out of interest, never seen them before. I was thinking they looked like some sort of ford seats, now i recognise them. Clearly the seller doesnt have a clue!

[dips346]

very rare to get hold of

[SPADGE]

How the hell did i not realise that
Beer and tiredness last night are my excuse

[Gibson]

3rd that.

They are 100% Rouse sport saphire cosworth seats, very rare as dips said, iirc only about 100 conversions of the sapire cosworth both 2wd and 4wd. 302R and 304R. The 300 part denotes 300lbf tourque from the conversion and the 2 or 4 denotes the tipw of drive.

I want one!

There is something about Cosworths!

[bss325i]

Just notice from the pics of the seats for sale that the 'ROUSE SPORT' badges have been removed, you can see where they were in the the middle, similar place to where M strip badges go on sport seats.

[SPADGE]

Never a big fan of the Rouse myself
Hideous side skirts and front spoiler but lots of low down punch sadly lacking in top end power due to the tiny turbo.

[bss325i]

I like the skirts but prefer the ford accesory RS side skirts to the rouse ones and standard cosworth ones.

When you gonna build this cossie E30 then Jules?

Andy Rouse!!

I thought he was a prize tw*t to be honest. I and many others lost all respect for the guy in 1993 when the Alfas kicked his arse (and Paul Radisich) in the blatantly wrong rear drive Mondeos in BTCC.

Rouse prepared a two car Mondeo team, but bent the rules to the extent where they ran a 2 litre Mazda V6 (The MX6 engine) on the basis that Ford owned a majority share in Mazda. And they re-engineered it to be rear drive, citing that they were using the rear diff from the limited production Mondeo 4x4. So nothing like a production Mondeo at all. Andy Rouse publicly declared that Ford were going to 'clean up' in 1993. (or was it 94??)

Alfa turned up with two 155's (Larini and Tarquini), both FWD with Alfa 8v engines and a raised boot spoiler, achieved via a couple of spacers that were standard equipment on 5000 155 'Silverstone' cars. Alfa then beat Ford by a daft margin (2 secs a lap at one point) and Rouse really spat his dummy out, complaining to the FIA about the 'illegal' rear spoiler. The FIA upheld his complaint and the Alfas lost the points. Alfa then packed up their cars and withdrew from the BTCC. Then Nissan and two other teams threatened to withdraw unless Alfas points were reinstated. The FIA buckled and Alfa Romeo continued to kick Fords arse for the rest of the season, taking the crown. Even Jackie Stewart, a lifelong Ford man, was not impressed with what had been going on.
The Mondeo failed as a race car and Ford distanced themselves from him. What an absolute arse after all the good work with the Sierras.


And as for the seats............Didn't one the limited edition E34 M5's have seats like this?

[SPADGE]

When i get the urge mate.
If an engine comes up for the right price then that'll speed things up

[bmwe30mtech]

The seats are on piston heads for 350 quid. Sound cheap from what you have said about them. (e30 runners though )
