would anyone know if seats from an fc will fit in an fb? what all work is needed to do it?
-E

 

I've read they are a direct fit.

 

i have fc seats in my car, direct bolt in

 

I installed seats from a 89 RX-7. Direct bolt in

 

i found that when i swapped over my turbo II seats into my FB that one of the bolts on the drivers side didnt quite line up correctly, however it was just far enough from the other hole that drilling and tapping it out worked using the same bolt

 

if this is unusual can anyone tell me why the runner didnt line up with the same hole the original seats had, because no one else seemed to have this problem. did i install it incorectly?

 

I had the same problem on one of my 1st gens about a year back. The runner from the seat didn't line up with the hole. Solution: I sat in the seat while I reached down to thread in the bolt by hand. I guess the pressure flared out the frame of the seat or something. Anyway it should be a direct bolt in unless the floor pan is bent or the seat rail is bent.

 

ive got red leather FC seats in my 83... The work wonderfully, and feel awsome... They beat the 1st gen leather seats 10 times over in comfort

 

the front left bolt on the drivers seat doesnt line up, i dont even have it bolted down, the seat never moves though so i dont care

 

Here, I mounted the 2nd gen seats to the original 1st gen sliders; custom upholestry. 2nd gen seats were $50 from the boneyard, then another $200 to re-cover. I plan to use the same 1st gen sliders for new Mazdaspeed or used RX8 seats this year, though.

 

^thats a nice interior you got there!

 

thanks guys.

 

I have a question about putting FC seats into a FB. Are the FC seats any higher? As it is I don't have all that much room between the seat and the steering wheel, I have enough now as long as I tilt the seat down, but if FC seats are much higher it just won't do.

 

I think they actually sit a little lower, but i could be wrong.
