    Seat replacement/retrimming

    Hi Guys,

    The drivers bucket in my Corsa is starting to show signs of a life lived. The seat bolster is disintegrating and the the steel frame can be felt through the foam now.

    Have others had this problem? How did you resolve it?

    I was thinking about putting in sparco/recaro/omp seats, but looking at the sub-frame and rails with the belt pre-tensioner, it looks to be more trouble than reward. I imagine that decent quality SRi seats are hard to find in a wreckers yard.

    Thanks,

    Well that sucks. Your other option is to get some Astra G/TS seats. Then you could get leathers out of a SRi-T too. There's a little bit of fiddling around to make them fit though.

    @chris_r I'd possibly consider travelling to SA for a good set of seats, LOL.
    @Pedals Are you getting any squeeking? My seat is starting to squeek like a budgie due to my huge G forces driving style (LOL). Hoping it's not heading towards a mounting issue as already had that problem with my old VH Commodore many years ago Would be annoying to repeat history.

    @pd-xc-72464118, you may not even have to travel to Adelaide. I'm planning on heading to Melbourne on the 1st weekend in October.

    Plan is to take the Corsa. There's a series of things I need to do first before I take it across. At this point, I am keen on making the trip, but hopefully my bank account will let me. If I don't take the Corsa, then it's likely to be in the Transit. The main purpose of the trip is pretty much to catch up with a few people and get away from the BS that I've been dealing with in the last couple of months. As for meeting up, I'm yet to work out details.

    Doubt I could get there on the Friday, as it'll cost me money to take a day off work and unfortunately, I can't afford that at the moment. F*** being a contractor.
