Jetta recaros (was: OT? -- communter car search)

[roccolister@hotmail.com (Craig Williams)]

Jeff,

I'm sure you already know since you're asking, but the Recaros that come in
the Jettas have that really tall frame and only the shortest of Scirocco
drivers wouldn't hit their heads if you just slide them into the Scirocco
rails. You can buy the appropriate Recaro frames for a Scirocco and bolt the
Jetta's Recaros to them. Randy did that with his red Scirocco and the seats
from a Jetta fit in very nicely.

Ok...No I'm gonna look stupid, but what the heck does IIRC mean????
