hi just wondering if anyone knows if the MX6 seats will bolt straight into the first gen rails?

thanx guys

 

I doubt the right hand side seat will as the FB has a big buldge for the exhaust and the seat has the rail raised and offset to clear it. I would guess it would be the same procedure as fitting FD seats in a 1st gen

 

Best way to find out is to try it.

 

How about 91 miata seats to a 88 rx7?

 

Umm this is the First gen section....

 

so theres no way they will bolt straight in?

 

wats the fd seat procedure?

 

oh btw..

the mx6 seats i have already come with the factory rails..


does that make it easier to put in the 1st gen?

 

if u have the seats, why dont you go try and put them in rather than asking if it will work????

 

just wondering if anyone here has done it before..

im not actually gonna put it on.. some other guy will.. i have problems with doing big jobs like these..

 

u call swapping seat a big job? try swapping an auto out for a 5 speed by yourself..

after my swap, changing seats is easier than changin sparkplugs

 

yeh yeh...

yur a rotart god.. ima n00b..

dont rub it in..

 

Seats are easy man... I've taken out seats simply to vacuum a car, or make it easier to install a stereo... (In my old Civic Wagon, I bolted the CD changer to the bottom of the seat for stealth purposes. )

Go ahead and try... It's four bolts at each corner, perfectly straight forward... There may be a pair of wires for the seatbelt receptor that you have to deal with, but I doubt it... IIRC, the FB doesn't have a put your seatbelt on reminder...

 

I'm going to do 3rd gen seats as soon as i can find some for a REASONABLE price.

those 3rd gen guys think their seats are worth $300 per seat for some reason....

 

Factory rails for an MX-6, which usually means nothing once you want to put it into a different vehicle. Just try taking a seat out and try it.

 

If this is a big job for you please put your keys in an envelope and mail to:

Makenzie71
Box 821
Gruver TX, 79040

I'll be there shortly to pick the car up.

 

on a side not GTU/TII seats are bad *** and are a direct bolt in in most FB's...also FD seats...very shnazzy...

 

"yeh yeh...

yur a rotart god.. ima n00b..

dont rub it in.."'

hey man, i wasent calling u a n00b, im just saying removing seats is hella easy

 

4 bolts...14mm if I'm not mistaken. You turn these bolts counter-clockwise until completely out. Put them in a small paile out of the way...bonus points if you make a lil teepee.

Next, lift seats out of car. Place in pile out of the way, bonus points if you make a lil teepee...

 

and drink 3 beers in the process DOUBLE bonus points if u make a beer can teepee!

 

rant on<

This thread is pointless. Why ask dumb questions. Thank you for wasting this space on the server.

>rant off

Why don't you try it since you have the seats and the car and let us know.

 

Gregs- A rotary god!! Haha!! good one!!! Do you have any idea how long it took him to get the courage to do that job? Even then he asked questions!!! 95% of us here are the same way!!!

 

Exactly, but he did it and that's what counts. If you are going to do a project then ask away. That is what this forum is for. This thread has no purpose because he personally isn't doing the project. He should be docked post counts for this.

 

I'm not dissing Greg at all, but to call him a god is a huge exaggeration!!! I give him props for even attempting the 5spd swap. I wouldn't have even bought the auto, but he had the courage to do it, so... Glad he did it.

If you have seats- it's freaking 4 bolts to pull out your current seats. Try it, if it won't fit, put your old ones back!!!

 

wow so theres rules now on wat to ask even though its an "easy" task?

maybe it should be called nosajwrx-7-club.com "worlds largest ******* community"

rules are.. .. you gotta be born a rotary g0d.. for all the others that dont know anything yet.. GO AWAY
