AW11 Seats in an AE86
We all know that AW11 MR2 seats will work in an AE86. A little persuasive prying is necessary to line up all 4 of the bolts though . I got tired of having to fight this when taking them in and out. Not to mention the fact that the seats don't lean far enough forward for a fat kid like me to easily access the backseat. Tedd(jdmwhiteboy) gave me some old Corolla(AE86) seats he had laying around. 2 were crap and torn badly in places, the other was in great shape and I plan on making a (86)Garage Chair out of it [really] .

Re: AW11 Seats in an AE86
Ugh I really need seats I have some half ass bolted in cressida seats that don't line up for shit. Are aw11 seats common?
Re: AW11 Seats in an AE86
I'll sell you mine! it's more common to find aw11 mr2 in a junkyard than an ae86. But you still want ae86 rails. I have some recaro seats going in mine.
