Thanks, I was gonna remove the rails to send some mx3 recaro style seats to a guy with a tracer and thought about removing the rails to save weight/cost. Sounds like they need to stay with the seats.

Surprisingly it does not have odd ordor but it sure does smell like cherries! thanks to Coronado Cherry freshener. either way it still needs a cleaning haha.
So those MX3s seats will require you to use the rails that comes with the seats to bolt up in a Tracer? you cant just re-use your stock tracer rails?Anyone knows what 9K rpm feels like? I do

MX3 seats need MX3 rails, all other seats (other than 4wd stuff) are the same length left to right from what I've seen.
You could use the Protege/323/escort/tracer rails, but the seat will be really crooked since the MX3 lower seat frame has a different height left and right. Would require washers...and that's kind of sketching because you'll need a fair amount of them lol.
please correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I've stripped down both styles of MX3 seats to bare metal, and 1 set of Protege seats with the tilt option.-Jack

actually jack... you can use a combo of protege & mx3 rails (like im doing) to level it out without needing washers.
Im rocking the protege tilt frame with this method as well.

Alright, to keep everyone on the same page this is the exact setup im looking at. MX3 seats that are going into a Tracer wagon will work with stock Tracer rails, no need for MX3 seat rails, sweet!
Nothing needs to be changed otherwise.Last edited by wgnths; 10-08-2012, 11:43 PM.Anyone knows what 9K rpm feels like? I do
