From my old WR Sport. Best seats I've ever had and would swap them in an instant for my STI seats..

Those seats are the nuts. I had them in my old WR Sport Terzo.

Totally agree they knock the STi seats into a cocked hat

I believe they were a 'one off' run. They matched the interior of the limited run 98 Prodrive WR Sport. Only 100 cars were made over a 4 year period. They were part of the £10k upgrade package..

I have seen other non WRS Cars with them on, but I believe they were second hand buys or recovered from write offs.

They have a small electric motor to drive them forward and back with a 'puffa' bottle to blow up the lumbar support. The Squab moves out too.

Only problem was the lack of rear foot room due to the thickness of the seat unit..

If anyone knows where there's a second hand set.. let me know!!

Cool

These are in my car...



They're hard to find, but worth the hunt - miles better than the standard seats - I found them on e-bay.

You can still buy them new from Recaro, about £750 each, plus £100 for a sub frame IIRC. Not sure what colours are available though.

Inter-cooler piping
Prodrive Suspension upgrade

I don't think it was a £10k difference, more like £27,500 instead of £24,995

Right now you're taxing the grey matter

Mine had

PPP - all the usual bits zorst ecu etc

Handling pack - Lowered, Prodrive Springs, Speedline alloys. Carbon Strut brace

Exterior pack - Body Kit, Mid spoiler, PIAA Spot Lamps, Splitter

Interior Pack - seats (recaro), door fillers, gear ****, Mats

Mine was also a terzo with all the above Packs. The Original buyer was 71 years old and it pushed the cost of the car up to nearly 35k.

It was the Nuts, to me anyway. I bought it 3 1/2 years old with 17k on the clock. Do miss the old girl every now and then but then I drive the New age STi and it all goes away

Prodrive only knocked out 100. They made 25 a year and fettled all sorts of UK Turbo's coming off the line, including some Wagons..

They don't have a make number, but Mike Wood at Prodrive will have the chassis number on his computer to make sure they are legit.

You could get all the bits separately as aftermarkets apart from the WRS White Dials



and WRS Logo on the Back and under the side indicators..





The options package took the car from £20k basic to £30k if you had all 3 option packages...

These were;

Handling pack - Bilstein & Eibach lowered suspension with Prodrive Springs. 17" Speedline alloys.

Exterior pack - PPP with uprated Inter-cooler piping. Prodrive mid and backbox exhaust. Body Kit, Mid spoiler, PIAA Spot Lamps, Splitter. WR Badging.

Interior Pack - Electric seats (recaro) and matching upholstery and door fillers, Carbon gear **** & Prodrive mats. Quickshift. White dials.


£750 each? Ouch.. Not sure if I like them that much

Not worth the extra IMHO, I have them in my P1, the standard seats are just as supportive and that electric movement is completely pointless! They do look good though!

THAT IS STUNNING !!!!!

It's SO refreshing to see a high spec classic with the bits the great Lord Prodrive intended for it.

Awesome ride.

I'll post up a couple of Pics of my Old one when I can get them off my other PC. Stunner

I've only seen 4 on here.. yours is the 4th and looking superb..

I did seriously consider fettling mine.. But I ended up keeping it standard in order to keep its residual.. A lad in the club bought mine, so it went to a good home and he does drive it properly... I also get to see it several times a month..

I have some regrets selling as it was a lovely car in every sense of the word. Only problem is that no one really knows anything about them. With only 100 on the road, I believe they are the rarest 'official' scoob.

In keeping with the rarity, I upgraded to something equally as rare with only 10 or so on the roads..... a T20



Enjoy it mate..

The 20 is simply the same car but with an Ecu Tek'd 2.0Ltr lump rather than the 2.5... Mine has the optional Track Pack of Spec C Fuel & Oil pumps as well as a Spec C oil cooler..

I'm not a fan of White on red.. IMO, I'd stick with the silver..
