OK so I searched for bucket seats, bucket, seats, sub frames and so on but I can't seem to find any posts that contain information about what different bucket seats you can buy and what sub frames etc you need to fit them.
I've had a look on demon tweaks and some other websites and so far I've come to the conclusion that you can buy either tilting bucket seats to allow access into the rear of the car or fixed back buckets which do not tilt forward. I'm simply after a bucket seat that does not tilt forwards and that I can slide backwards and forwards to adjust the distance between the pedals. Any information or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! :y:

you can buy just about any ixedbck bucket seat and make it slide.

When looking, search for "base mounted" fixed bakc bucket seats, this means the subframes mount like the standard ones meaning you can slide the seat backwards and forwards.

Say you boubhgt a Cobra Monaco (popular choice) bucket seat, you would need a Cobra sliding subframe to mount it, but make sure its for a saxo.

Thats basically it tbh.

Stay away from side mounted bucket seats as they bolt through the floor, you can adapt them to slide, but more hassle than its worth :)
