Hello. I saw a Recaro seat today. It is black, looks the same as the usual Type R seat. However, the material looks to be different than the ones I usually see.

The ones that I usually see has these "baldu" material at the sides of the seat. Not where you sit and lean against. Correct?

The one I saw today is fully wrapped with the "baldu" material.

What I would like to know is which is original or did Honda come out with two types of Recaro seats? If the latter, which cars are those from?

Those who are using or are familiar with these seats, please clarify here.

Thanks.

the seats u saw were also factory fitted from honda? or wat? coz the Type R recaros are a little different than mass produced recaros of the same model...mostly on their material n some internals

anyway (i may be wrong) but if im not mistaken i have seen a fully suede Type R Recaro SR3....but in black colour. ive never noticed the red colour.

also check the recliner adjuster.. is it only 1 side.. or both sides.. coz mass produced are usually on both sides while the Type R seats are only 1 side iinm

Worth the price?

I went to check it out anyway. Its imitation. The shop owner himself admitted it. It's 600 bucks per seat. 1200 a pair. Looks nice, comfortable and the quality of stitches is good too. But easily one can tell its imitation by looking at the RECARO.

To all the sifu and gurus out there. I hope u guys can assist on my probs... My ride is a dc5 n I'm running on a k20a block which was recently rebuilt with high comp wiseco pistons and Brian crower rods. I've replaced all my thrust bearings, piston rings etc for new ones. Even my oil pump is new. Did a full tune about a week back. So here's the problem. This block was bought over from a fren. When the block was in his ride, his idle oil pressure is at around 3.0 x100 kpa. But after I took...
