Here's a couple shots of my car, and a couple other local racers. Lots of videos in the link in my signature.

Yes I did, but I'm not happy with the fit. Too great a reduction in head room.
I'll be looking to replace them next spring.

damn. I've been looking for more headroom, and if you lost too much headroom w/ the FD seats, I wouldn't be able to fit in the car.

It's "common" BECAUSE of that specific car, I'd bet...

the rx-2 next door, if you look on a DB chart, is the loudest noise possible. we were at the historics in 04, and the whole pack of mazda's would come around (the 1st gen, 787b, the two camel lights cars, the 4 rotor FC) then you'd hear this noise that was louder than all of those other cars put together...

then this little rx2 would putt around turn 3....
