The deeper you get the more $$ it cost, I have about 30k into mine, have seen a few with much much more.

yeah, I ended up having about $3000 into mine when I flipped it, but I had gotten a lot of free parts from ISC Racing where I worked. All we did was turn street RX7s and Miatas into SCCA race cars. So we had a lot of RX7 shells and others that we stripped to nothing and built into race cars and I got any parts that we wouldn't use. For instance, I got 2 free full exhausts. Of course they were used, but so what? A little rust and some oil to smoke out and I had a free exhaust. I miss that job......

They don't look all too appealing to me either. They do look kinda comfy though. But I dunno if they are or not.

Yes, they are soft, but they are on the smaller side.
I think the seats weigh SLIGHLY less than the stock Turbo II seats - I'll weigh them in the next few days.
I think it's made for smaller Japanese drivers, so if you're around 5'6", it should be perfect.
The bolsters are nice, and the suede-like materials doesn't allow you to slide around.
I don't fit really well in the left-side seat, and I actually sit higher in them versus the US-spec turbo and GXL seats. :P

Yes, the pic is from my seats sitting in my driveway. :)
And I actually paid for them to be shipped to Cali and then UPS'd to Hawaii. :(
On YJA, they are amazingly "cheap"...
I paid around US$120 for BOTH of my seats.
Of course, shipping adds a LOT for me in Hawaii, since it was reshipped from Cali. :P

HATE HATE HATE! jk those are uber clean my friend.

Good find

burnn5 05-15-08 12:57 AM

man those look so comfy

RETed 05-15-08 02:13 AM

I just weighed the right-side (J-spec driver / US-spec passenger) seat, and it came out to 30.58 lbs. with no brackets.
I have my old '87 Turbo II passenger seat listed at 32.20 lbs. with brackets, so the seats are very similar in weight.

Just for kicks, I weighed my Sparco EVO2 seat, and that came out to 15.44 lbs. for just the seat no brackets.
The Sparco universal side-mount brackets weigh a ton, but they only came in at 5.04 lbs.
So, the Sparco EVO2 mounted would weigh in a little over 20 lbs. mounted.
I'd lose just about 10 lbs. just by going with the race seat!

The Infini left-side seat is a little too high for me, so it's most likely coming back out.
I sit taller in it versus a stock Turbo II or GXL seat I had in before.
I hit the headliner on bumps, so it's not comfortable. :(
It's really made for a smaller frame person.

So to all the losers who were bitching about weight, the Infini seats don't weigh more than the stock FC seats as it is...
