haha I hear ya, I've debated selling my vert a few times, because I have been moving around a lot with jobs and since my top is not 100 % perfect I always look for a place to store it and I do think at times it would be easier with a coupe. But usually when I have those thoughts I take it out for a drive with the top down and I remember how great it is, especially going to the beach in the summer with.

Yeah new seats would look great in the car and would be nice not fade with the sun damage and such that is bound to happen over years, but I would like to keep the car in somewhat stock condition when it comes to the interior. But who knows at this point.

the mazda speed seats were a simple direct swap?? did they fit on the same brackets? or did the new brackets fit right in as well?

illtakeyochik

they came with some good brackets but they werent as smooth as the stock ones so i put the stock brackets on the seats and bolted it down... surprisningly they fit well, i had to drill a hole in the bracket but it was good other than that... ill get you some pics of the interior

Aren't those the Mazdaspeed seats everyone says are knock offs? I'm no expert but I think I've seen pics posted of those seats before and someone always says that those aren't MS seats.

If they fit fine, are comfy, and you like them thats all that matters though. How much were they? Where did you get them?

illtakeyochik

the guy i baught my first T2 from sold them to me separately.... he told me 650 but i got them for 500 (for both)... if they are knock offs i still like em they sit perfect in the car and are very comfy and ive had them for about 3 to 4 years and no tears rips or anything.. i love em..

illtakeyochik

cool

I like your setup so far man. You got those seats for a pretty good price. I won't be getting anything like that for my current vert. I probably will when I pick up another for a project car. lol

illtakeyochik

I WANTED TO JUST BUILD A FUN CAR... i wanted decent horsepower but not alot of turbo lag and all that... so i went a lil small but i got a second turbo just incase i want more... thanks tho...

pics of the vert











The Top is in good condition except for those half inch rips on both sides, the car is crazy dirty because I haven't a chance to do anything with it due to weather and work except for starting it up a couple days a week and thats all because I dropped the insurance while I fix a few things. The passenger seat is out until I can rug doctor the interior carpet because its pretty nasty, I have a bunch of new parts sitting in my garage new radiator, intake kit and ordered the exhaust and a few other parts just can't find the time to get it in or the weather is bad.

body and paint look like they are in great shape though. lol
Some work and you would have yourself a gem.

haha thanks, the engine bay just disgusts me because it used to look clean and great and then it just sat for a bit and all this crap just piled on, But by the spring she will be revived with a new top and some needed updates in the engine bay

illtakeyochik

i love the wing, wow your car is in beautiful condition.... and those rips are the same exact ones my vert is developing....

i just took a rag and some degreaser to mine

RxFuel

iTrader: (1)

thanks man, Yeah I've had people say they can repair them easily, but they dont know if it will keep water out and I don't even wanna test a repair fix, I'm just gunna buy a whole new top with a warranty from a shop local and not have to worry about it any more.

Yeah a few months the one day it rained the one day when my cover got ripped and it wasn't covered it rained good and hard and of course on that day my door seals went and water seeped in and under the carpet on both drivers and passengers side, so I had to rip up the carpet throw out all the sound deadening foam stuff that is under the carpet that soaked up the water, then bleach the metal below it to make sure no mold would grow. And unfortunately its been too cold here to rug doctor the carpet yet since you usually want some hot sun to dry up the carpet otherwise it will never stay dry.

I can't wait for spring to come haha

Brink-of-Time

Oh man that sucks. I went out and bought a custom cover the day I got mine to make sure that doesn't happen. If it rains at work, I park under the canopy we have there.

Degreaser is a good way to clean the engine bay, but it does make rubber swell if you use too much. Either way you're in for one when the time comes lol

Yeah I thought about investing in a custom cover, but since I have to leave mine out during winters and when it snows and when we get freezing rain they become very brittle with the ice and I had my mechanic buddy already rip one that way, so I just keep buying the cheap 60 dollar ones, they do get the job done just not of great quality. I'm only on my second one so far haha.

Brink-of-Time

Yeah I was worried about that for a while too. Mine was around $100 or so (My roomate bought it for me). It is ice and snow proof too. I'll ask him when he gets home from vacation what kind of material and where he got it from.

RxFuel

yeah that would be great, just one less thing I have to worry about in the winters

I finally got around to steam clean the car, was lookin around the garage and found this old bra that came with the car I put in a box a few years back and forgot about, just to see how it looked I threw it on and took some pics.





Looks kinda weird and It connects to come velcro inside the hood and the metal pieces bend over the fenders, would be good to slap on if I drove down a stone or pebble road.

Brink-of-Time

I called him and asked. It's called NOAH Block-It Fabric. They make them for virtually any make and model. My version is called Evolution. It help block fine dust too. They can range anywhere from $120-200.

You can find some here:

nice yeah im definitly gunna make the investment and grab it to have a nice backup for when my cheap one goes, Yeah it is I think the original owner my aunt bought it as an extra for the car when she purchased it, the rx7 insignia is pretty old school lookin. I hate when bras have those idiot tabs in the front. I would never drive with it on lol
