New Seats!!
well today i bought some mazdaspeed replica seats from jeremy(TurboSmoke). they look awsome. installing was a total PITA and im not even done yet. i was gonna use the rails that came with it but i didnt want to drill through the body and i couldnt really find a spot to mount them so they would go all the way through the body. so then i though ok ill use the stock rails. but they dont fit, so i hade to drill new holes in them. then i droped one and the slidder was broke. so i was gonna go back to unversial rails, then i figured i would use stock mounting brackets welded to unversial rails then after cutting out the brackets, went to welding shop but of course they are closed. but i remmeber i have a parts car out back and i got stock rails out of it. then finally got it to work. or you would think.... the new seats have a narrower mounts, so where the seats moutn up the brackets dont fit they are like an inch to narrow, so i need to make a new mount on my floorboard. sorry if i confused you.
but anyway here are the pics.
JdM TyPe ARRRRRRR YO!!!!! lol i jsut thought the box waas too funny
comparsion to stock seat, its got alot more padding
only the passenger seat is mounted, and its only mounted with 2 bolts, the driver seat it just set in thre for the pic
last one, i really like the seats, now i just need to finish building motor to put them to the test.

$300 isn't bad at all...i think i will consider these instead of the Sparco's i wanted. they definetly look wicked...
just make sure you get that bolted in right before you go drifting yo!
edit: can you buy these from a distributor, or did you just happen to get them off someone who had them?

those look cool, i got a pair of the sparco knockoffs from ebay. it was a PITA for me as well but i ended up using the stock rails with a few spacers on the passanger side to make the seat sit even.

the 2 inch spikes on top of my head dont hit the roof... but im only 5'6". i had some people that are like 5'9" or so in the passanger seat and they dont have a problem though.
on the drivers side i would beable to remove some spacers(VERY thick washers) that are in there to lower them about 1/2 and inch, but for the passangers side it is as low it itd go without being crooked because of the tranny well.
on mine i was able to use the stock seat rails by just redrilling new mounting holes and i have the plain ebay ones from Auto-unix.
