Ok, Here we go. WHAT A DAY!
So I go to the scrap yard, after finding some top hats that looked right, I tried undo-ing the bolts, No good. Then my friend comes over and does it easily.. I was doing it the wrong way
Then he says "hang on there welded to the floor" So we get out and try to find more, No good. Go back to the first one and rip up the carpet, Two more bolts
undo those, get the top hats. Sorted
Back to my house, Rip out both seats. Whack in the top hats, whack in the subframes, then tried putting the seats on.. hmmm Dosen't seem to line up. Take the seat out and theres bolts in the way, so we take those out and then try again, seats wouldn't go on for some reason, So we decide to take out the frames and whack them on the seat out of the car. So it turns out where the bolts go, theres a thread in each hole
you cant screw two bolts on the frame to two threaded holes in the seat
So after drilling out the threads, we tried fitting the subframe, and one god damn bolt wouldn't go in. Refitted my normal drivers seat
So went and collected my other seat and frame from my mates garage, and fitted the passenger recaro with no problems :S
Then tried doing the drivers seat, while drilling we kept getting sparks which was fun
eventually all sorted and that same bolt wouldn't go into the seat far enough to put the nut on! Grrrrr.
Eventually we bodged it, i'll admit it, We whacked a Jubilee clip on and tightened it solid. It's actually pretty good, dosen't move at all, so there secured in, the seat went in and i'm mega happy
Just annoyed the airbag light is on
I don't know enough about pre-tensioners to figure out how to sort them out and put them on the Recaro's.

Seats look good but would look better in my xr2i 
Really did think it was gonna look crap and not be a good colour, but it looks great imo
