I know that the Suzuki Forenza/Chevrolet Lacetti is nearly identical to my 98 Daewoo Nubira. I think there are one or two Opels/Vauxhalls that are basically the same. The Aveo and Suzuki Reno are related, as is the Daewoo Lanos.

Do these cars all use the same floor pan? Do you know anything sporty that is likely to use the same floor pan as my Nubira? My friend just broke a seat in my car, and I'm junkyard diving for a replacement.

The stock seats are awful.

seats are easy to swap from car to car.. i had a pair of really supportive Recaro's in my 71 Nova that were factory installed in a (i think) Mazda 626. a little fab work on the seat tracks, and i had all sorts of crazy adjustments for things like lumbar and rib support..

In reply to novaderrik: Interesting ... I don't have a garage or access to a work space any better than the sidewalk, so I might be stuck with strictly bolt in stuff right now.

Get a tape measure, measure the mounting bolt spacing front/back and left/right, and go to the junkyard and start looking.

Also, Vauxhall/Opel never sold any of the Korean stuff or had a Nubira variant, AFAIK.
