Wow Misha, those new seats look fantastic. I have 2 tone gray Recaro seats in my 1992 Golf GTI out of a 2001 Jetta GLI. But I didn't get to use them very long because a few months later, my Golf died & has been sitting in my garage since 2010. I'm sure by now my Golf will need an almost full restoration. What is it with VW wheels always leaking air??? I know "VW quirks" LOL Much love from Ohio :-)
These seem to be the same seats like i had in my Focus RS MKII as standard. I considered them as quite comfortable even with my size (XXXL). But a Ventilator would be a great improvement!
Cool seats! When I installed the Recaro PPs in mine, I found centimes and a 10 french francs coin, an old cigarillo and a lighter. Explains the sweet smel inside (next to exhaust gases). :D
I installed a pair of Sportster CS seats in my then new Jetta 1.8T. They had beige cloth centres and black sides, which matched the beige and black (steering wheel, shifter knob, etc.) leather interior perfectly. They look amazing, and were very expensive. The only complaint that I had was a bit of flex in the seatback. Enjoy!
I did a bit of rally driving a few years ago, and always felt great in my (tatty, third-hand, 'pre-loved') Recaro. Whether we were going forwards, sideways, backwards, or upside-down [once, no injuries, rolled slowly 12' into a ditch after missing a hairpin in pea-soup Yorkshire fog], my co-driver and I always felt safe. At least he told me he felt safe in between bouts of sobbing and hysterical screaming. Yep, a really good seat's vital; the only problem I had with mine was getting out of the darn thing. I'm not very big - 5' 6", 10 stone 2, 32" waist - but I'm one of those 'women' things, and my luscious British bum wedged me into my Recaro so securely I barely needed a harness. Actually, that wasn't too bad because I'm also ridiculously - and I do mean RIDICULOUSLY - top-heavy. Boobs that laugh at seatbelts make pretty good substitutes for airbags.
I bought recaro pole position for my Corrado right after u installed them in the 7up. I love them, but can confirm that the seats are a lot higher then stock. (My girlfriend doesn't love getting in and out)
I had a small hole in my toyto avensis 2005 when the seat heater broke and bured through I repeared it and my mom sowed that hole to repaired you took the more expensive way but deffenetly cooler one 😂
Let's take a minute to appreciate the MVP of the day, George. The seats look sick. How comfy were they on the long journey to Croatia ? Odd fact: We call that mosquito thing a helicopter.
i weighed the recaro cs before i put them in my e46 the difference was about 2kg each for me. oem alcantara sport man. 23kg each oem leather sport elektr.+heat 29kg each recaro sportster cs with e46 base about 21kg each.
You need some car dollies to move you’re cars in the garage easier , might save time & less chance of kissing the bumpers 👍 love the channel been following for a good while now thanx APEX
Could you tell me the type of resistor or it's value and whether it goes between the green white or brown wires.. be good to know as my light is on after changing seats.. cheers!!
Hey good evening Misha :), i have one question: What is the title of the video in which you drove as a passenger in the famous 1000 hp BMW E30, which is powered by a Supra engine ? I really want to watch it again, but can't find it :/
I'm finally stationed in Germany and i can't wait to visit you guys at APEX and take a dream lap around the ring. Can anyone go to atomic and buy seats right there or only online? Great video Misha you have new subscriber!
Does recaro make oem type height adjustable seat rails for the sportster cs seats, i would love to get them for my mk4 and would like to keep the oem adjustability.
Just some more upgrades and it'll be VLN (or should I say NLS?) ready... Are there even any Diesels racing in it? If not, you'd be a pioneer, which I really want to see :D
And I'm here, installing 300€ (on sale) worth of seats in my 4000€ car, with 184€ custom mounts 'cause no one else does that shit in this car. definitely not the same budget for our cars x)
Spends shit loads on a gorgeous pair of Recaro seats & is more desperate for the damn stickers..................You are definitely my brother from a different mother :):):) When I had my 996 C2, I spent ages removing the front passenger seat for a weekend, to fit in my massive match fishing rod bag only to discover afterwards the seat did recline all the way back to a flat position and was able to load the rod bag anyway, D'oh !!! ''This project might go crazier'' .................................. SURE WILL...........................cant't wait :)
Hey Misha, do you think its possible to get those airbag resistors separately ? Btw i have MK4 GTI doing stage 2 (around 240 hp) so i would love to do MK4 battle with you on the nurburgring one day :D Thanks
I’m going to throw this out there and against all odds see if somebody can help. I went to the ‘ring about 15 years ago and stayed at a fantastic hotel but for the life of me can’t remember the name of it or exactly where it was. I was planning on going again this year and would love to find the hotel again. So, all i can remember is we can from the north down an autobahn, came off and ‘turned’ left so heading eastbound along a normal road for only a few km’s and the large white hotel was on the left. It had a large car park out front with some garages on the right which you could rent if needed. The owners were a married couple, she was British and the he was German who also was the chef. Out back of the hotel there was a large garden area with immaculately pruned hedges. The hotel was about 15 or 20 minutes away from the ‘ring which from memory was in a westerly direction. We went along that road Misha mentions is in Gran Turismo, a great piece of road by the way, to get to the track a few times. The guests at the hotel were mainly people there for the Nürburgring so I’m wondering if somebody reading this knows it from my vague description?

I'm still locked down so plenty of time to investigate further, what else have i got to do right? 😂 Just looking on google maps and from my memory (which is rubbish) i think we came down the Autobahn 61 travelling southbound then turned left. The hotel was before a town and wasn't in a built up area.
WOW!!!! I've found it, nowhere near where i remember it being 😂 Thats what happens to your memory when you get old 😔 Hotel Wilhelmshohe Auderath. I said i'd go back one day and so i shall!
What about the regulation in Germany, are you allowed to change the power and parts like you want ? Here in France we are not allowed to increase the hp of a car :(

If you put a fan on those seats technically it'd be ventileather seats.
I'm glad the new seats are so comfortable and work so well. I hope they work out of that well on your frequent trips

Traktor in that shade of grey is a beauty under the sun 👍👍
Great project car! Seats look superb! Can't wait to see what comes next. 👍
I love those seats. Have them as stock seats in my Corsa E OPC.
I like your Golf a lot. The exterieur/Paint looks great.

Just needs a 4 point harness now to keep you in those awesome seats!
I work at Audi in the netherlands and congrats Misha, you own the exact same vacuum cleaner Audi does :)

Being in love with my Pole Positions. Best Seats for a Clubsport Car.
I know that feeling... It's called satisfaction. I own a BMW E36 that has doubled in price several times...
I had a small hole in my toyto avensis 2005 when the seat heater broke and bured through I repeared it and my mom sowed that hole to repaired you took the more expensive way but deffenetly cooler one 😂
Hi where did you get those seat bases as I have mk4 golf and been offered some cs seats but can’t find where to get bases any help be great thank you
Congrats! 🎉
Lol Recaro CS... i love it. Good job Misha. Hi from Italy
I remember seating position on recaro base is little higher on all mk2-4. Ended up with wiechers base or sparco, I forget.
A role cage & seat harnesses would be nice 😏! Keep it up with the great content!
Seats are looking good, ice cream was looking better 😂😂😂.. Love the seats..

Hallo Misha, now the tracktor looking god
Misha says... “These seats cost as much as the car” 🙈🤣 “Man maths” at its best 👍🏼 Loving your seat choice Comrade👍🏼👏🏻
I have these seat as standard in my mk3 focus rs brilliant seats cheers steve😀👍
Zolang je het blik heel houdt is het iedere investering waard bij dit project. Ik blijf het volgen, op naar de volgend aanpassing :-)
Morning Misha, the seats do look well
Very nice upgrade ...have to say i like the standard ones in my mk4 gti ..although would be nice to have harnesses..👍
These seats look really good!👌
i weighed the recaro cs before i put them in my e46 the difference was about 2kg each for me.
oem alcantara sport man. 23kg each

Have you had the chance to try these seats out on the track? Just wondering if they are a good choice for a road/part time track car?
It looks sick! But will it be safe without the airbags?
What u have done to airbags? I want to know because i have scirocco steering wheel on golf 4 and i have the airbag light on..
beautiful seats
Lovely looking Golf
You can easyly remove the backseats and save another 30 kg :-)
I'm a simple man. I hear a Gordon Freeman reference, I hit like.
Looks awesome, that wheel needs a refresh ASAP tho haha
Change the name to Track-Thor, my mk4 gti envies your build, damn this project never ceases to amaze me
get chrome mirror caps it will look great
So interesting, Misha! I dont know, if i missed the information, but you want the car stripped out to save weight or what are the Plans?
Leaving most of the interior in it
where did you buy the seat bases compatible with golf 4?leave the link.
Does recaro make oem type height adjustable seat rails for the sportster cs seats, i would love to get them for my mk4 and would like to keep the oem adjustability.

Stage 1 seats installed😂 you guys are funny. I want to hear more jokes please😀
You know Volkswagen was being cheap when the Recaros are heavier😂
Malaga is the best flavour! 😃
nice seats Misha !!!
seems to be the same seats you get in the mk3 Focus RS as optional but without the RS stitching.
Correct
Great choice by the way. Have fun!
Will the airbags work in an accident with the new seats
