On my loon they are welded frames to the car with the bar at the front and the new seats have just the slide rails

you need to unbolt the bar on the front of your loon seats and slide the whole seat back out of the runners. sounds like you may have the subframes on the sr seats (should be runners with 2 bolt holes on the front) if so they slide in the runners at the back and bolt down at the front. There will be 4 there at the moment holding c shaped clips down over the bar, you only need to use 2 to bolt the sr seats down. If you definately dont have the subframes youll need some from a SR, SRI, GTE or GSI.

unbolt the bar at the front, 4 bolts on U clip things, take the little metal spring out of the runners at the back, think there's one each side, it's just a folded piece of metal poked through a slot basically, then sit in your seat and move it back as far as it adjust violently, you should fall into your rear foot well with the seat underneath you.

You need the subframes from a recaro style nova seat otherwise you're going to have problems.

Look a bit like this....
