heres what ive been up to while the forums were down, scored these seats second hand through www.protongtiforums.com, they cost me $800 plus freight and im really happy with them they are light years ahead of the standard lc seats and i think were pretty good value considering what you get for that money through saas or monza. supposedly proton want $1650 each for the seats brand new!
Sir ask alot

Very nice Jason,
You can see they are smaller and look very comfy. Dave I
p.s. I wonder if the roll cage would wear out the leather

That is about right.
Just the bars make the size of the seat small in width which is the right size for the Torana. Dave I

yep same seat,red6s pic is consentrated on the seats,having it all one colour
and with rollcage breaks it up a bit,might be in a fraction lower,
look right at home

Thread revival. saw these come up on ebay - similar to what i was looking for. 
do u just keep looking online for a used set or does anyone else know where to look. also, do they have a specific name other than "recaro seats with mesh headrests"?

Don't know about an official name but with those head rests almost everyone just calls them Recaro "Fishnets"do they have a specific name other than "recaro seats with mesh headrests"?

they go off in 3 hours:-
a thousand bucks, jesus they are dear,i would use them seats as a base, take the headrests off,or change em, and cover with black leather or black vinyl,
and change the inners similar to the red ones i posted

I have started buying stuff out of Japan and getting some real bargains to boot although recaro's for some reason are still stupidly expensive as freight and fees do add up on top of sale price which is reasonable anyway I had a quick look for you, found about 2000 sets of recaros, as for your fishnets there were about 100 sets. Average price was about $300 a pair, Ideally would buy with rails as well also be aware that air-bags will be removed prior to shipping as a legal requirement. I have use google and microsoft translate to make sense of the Japanese auction websites which can be a challenge as they translation can be a bit hard to understand fortunately most auctions include good pictures and detail damage.
as an example for you $130 a pair
or if you are planning oon recovering them how about $11 dollors each
if leather and money are what you want and have $1950
now the bad news those prices do not include freight and fees
Now to save money and make it easy on myself I have used and recommend (highly) Jesse Streeter
a drift racer living in Japan, here how it works
You find an item you want either from Yahoo auctions or some other auction site or from a manufacturer, he has discount deals with many suppliers
Email him with details on item
He emails you with buy price in AU $ to be paid into his Au bank account AND a estimate of freight and fees that will need to be paid prior to postage to you.
He then buys item for you and has it delivered to his warehouse where tires will be removed from wheels or air-bags from seats etc and item is repackaged ready for freight
He emails you will final amount to be paid into his account for freight and fees. and on receipt of money sends items to you
As an example I paid $805 for a set of Volk Racing forged wheels at auction
then two weeks later I paid $500 for freight and fees
Six weeks later delivered to my door they arrived total cost $1305.00 verses normal retail in Au of $3200
Anyways hope that helps, I had another look before posting this and found a traditional old school looking stet for $216
