Any of you 3rdgen guys ever put aftermarket race seats in your car?
Reason I ask, is because I bought a new seat for Rally (my 92 RS) and the seat tracks do not match up with the studs in the car where the old seat was.
I am hoping that I can swap the tracks from the old seat to the new seat and that will work.

depends on the seat but im sure you could do it, you would just have to fab up some mounting plates to bolt the seat to the tracks.

A welder a drill and some plate typically work for me. Swapping the tracks sometimes works depending on the seats as mentioned.

Why are you swapping out to race seats? Autocrossing?

i bought a couple cheap APC racing seats a while ago. mine were falling apart and these were damn cheap. i bought them mainly because now i have a place to put my harness through. they are cheap as hell though, padding is getting flattened but down the road i might go with some SPARCO seats if the car deserves them

but back to the topic...i contacted a guy that made me some seat bracket adapters. he just needed the year and model car and what seat.

How light are the APCs?
I am looking into the plastic Jeg/summit seats due to price and weight. mine being a drag car only so ultimate comfort is not needed (more than 1/2 mile or about 60 seconds worth...)

i bet there are much lighter seats out there than my apc's...

i used to have a 1986 trans am(man i wish i still had it but was young and dumb and sold it really cheap $150 because i needed a car better suited for gas mileage at the time) ( im still kicking my stupid self) with racing seats in it and they even had the thick padding on them but they were so uncomfortable
