R26 lowered subframes

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by nicknameless, Dec 15, 2013.

  1. Long shot but has anyone out there got any sub frames that would lower my r26 drivers seat before I simply cut a hole in the roof?

    Many thanks in advance.
     
  2. Send me your seat frame and I can ave it lowered by approx 45mm, it will look factory I had my own done by my next door neighbor who's an engineer, will cost you £100 though
     
  3. Where are you based mate? PM me if you like.
     
  4. I'm in Nottingham , gray had the set out of my car so you can ask him what he thinks of them, I'm 6 foot tall and made a hell of a difference to the driving position , best thing I did
     
  5. If you can manage without your car for a couple of days then you can just post me the 2 side mounts
     
  6. Do you do a drive in drive out service :smile:?

    Not even got tools to get the seats out so would need to sort something to send them over.
     
  7. Unfortunately not, it's my next door neighbor who will do it for you so he has to take it to work, very easy to take out you just need a couple of Allen keys and a couple of spanners, where are you from
     
  8. Birmingham mate.
     
  9. Be great if you had a set made up and could send them and get the old ones sent back. Just a thought. .

    Best mod I've done to the car.. I am 6ft 2" and my head was almost touching the roof.

    The lowered frames improve the driving position no end!

    I have mine done too, makes it a totally different drive,
    I'll look out for a pair and pass them on to Steve for an exchange service
     
  12. That would be great mark, I'll do an exchange if someone can get a pair , a lot of people will be up for this mod.
     
  13. Maybe me soon :smile:
     
  14. Nicknameless 1st unless he manages to send me his own frames before we can get hold of a set from somewhere
     
  15. I know where there are 2 subframes Steve :wink:
     
  16. Where
     
  17. Yes still want this done as seating position makes the car a pain in the ass to drive with any enthusiasm at all.

    If I could be on the top of any exchange list that would be great. Trying to get the car to mark black to check over for something else. Wondering if we could kill 2 birds with the proverbial?
     
  18. What do you have to do to these for this mod? I want my seats lower before I rip them out and fit Cobra Suzuka Pro GTs
     
  19. I have a spare set if your still doing the exchange?
     
  20. Any more news on this? I would have to courier my frames to mark. Defo need them done
     
  21. Can anyone make the meg subframes fit a clio?
     
  22. Way to much effort involved i would of thought.

    I would just sell the Megane frames and buy come Clio ones.
     
  23. Does anyone have a picture of a Megane lowered seat subframe vs standard ? be interesting to see what they look like and how they have been done.
     
  24. I will in a couple of weeks, will post a picture in here when i do.
     
  25. I've sent your lowered seats mounts back to you today Karl, I've sent you a PM with the tracking number, anyone else wants a set doing send me a PM and I'll get them done for you

    Cheers Steve
     
  26. Yeah just read that PM cheers Steve :smile:


    Also I can supply the frames for a small fee, saves you taking yours out and waiting for them to be done.
     
  27. I'll be up for that Karl/ steve. What's the damage?
     
  28. I will let Steve post the price, I'd only be after beer money. Oh and the trust that you will send me back your frames :tongueout:
     
  29. I will also post pictures up comparing the standard frames to the lowered ones.
     
  30. Nice one cheers Karl.
     
  31. Do you do these for recaros in the 250?
     
  32. I've never seen the 250 ones but if it can be done then yes I can get them done for you mate
     
  33. Yes 100% want some they could go LOADS lower. The side mounts are stupidly high on them and the coupe body shape of the 250 make it a nightmare! If you can do them I want to completly lose the function to adjust the height of the seat and just drop it as far as possible. Might be some good money in it for you as the clio guys are crying out for the these as the only company that does them in abroad and charge quite alot!
     
  34. I'll be honest with you it's my next door neighbour that does them, he works for an engineering company and could always do with the extra cash, it helps him out and a few members out at the same time, the reason I get pissed off when people order rear strut bars and then don't pay for them, it leaves me having to pay for it as I asked him to make it so it's not his fault so I get left having to sell it to get my money back, but not to bad with seats if you don't pay you don't get them back lol
     
  35. Ah ok, so you need a seat to do it. Where abouts are you located?
     
  36. Steve is in Nottingham.
     
  37. Just need the seat frames not the seats, you send me them I'll get them done and sent back
     
  38. Ok, pm me a price.
     
  39. If its a similar job to the R26 mounts it will be £160
     
  40. Ok, will try and source a seat to drive around in, in the mean time.
