Here it goes again please give at least an anwser on the seats.

Hey All,
I'm new to the forum and definetily need some guidance. I'm getting an 87 LR/RR and need to find the least expensive ac compressor and heater core. Also, I'm thinking about putting: cold air intake, headers, high performance cat and muffler. Will running a true dual system make enough difference in performance to justify doubling the price? How hard is it to change the 3:56 gear ratio, because this thing is on;y for city driving? Lastly, will the seats from a 95 LR/RR fit in my 87 or, for that matter can I use any of the later model parts. I greatly appreciate y'alls' consideration in these matters and look forward to joining the club.

Thankfully,
Carter

 

I can only comment on the exhaust and the cold air intake; yes you will see improvements with the headers and free flow cats, and you would get improved performance with a true dual system. Is all that worth the cost, in my personal opinion no, but to each his own. I think you'd be wise to save the money and put it away for maintenance of the rover. I have had a CV joint on that year and a fuel pump go out. Those things are tanks and lack performance but they are fun to drive. Enjoy it.

 

I'm not sure if anybody has tried the seat swap. Thats not a typical upgrade people make. I would say that it will probably work but you might have to make some custom brackets. The only way you can really find out is to go to a junkyard and get some measurements and compare them to your Rover. The cheapest place to find parts would have to be other ebay.

 

I believe that all classic seats are compatible with eachother. DOUBLE CHECK. A compressor for cheap would be found on ebay (my favorite place) along with a heather core (might want to get a new on though).
