By the way...after replacing the left trailing arm, the thing handles like a brand new car, mashing curvy highways at ridiculous speeds! I freakin' love it!!!! It only took a year of work and thousands of dollars but who cares, right?
I don't think anything on that car will fit on the ti. The seats, I don't think will even bolt up since the e30 is a totally different platform. The seats won't tilt forward to allow access to the rear seat. Also, I don't think any US ti's are fitted for power seats ie; no electrical connector. I'm pretty sure it uses a different window regulator. About the only thing I think might work would be the rear axles and differential. And even that wouldn't be worth swapping out unless it has a LSD. Sorry dude. Familiarize yourself with realoem.com and learn how to look up part numbers and do cross references. Trust me, it'll come in really handy later down the road.
