you would have to custom fab the seats. take the rails from your old seats and somehow mount them to the s2k seats

the seats take quite a bit of modifying to fit honda cars, i bet if you REALLY wanted, you could make them fit. but is it really worth it?

Just FYI...

Of the two seats in a FC, by far the most difficult to fab in is the passenger side.
If you can get that one in right, you've got it made.

Also, most aftermarket seats have flat bottoms while OEM seats (like the S2k) have formed (sometimes very oddly) seat pans.
The aftermarket seats are much easier to deal with.

I've never sat in that particular Honda, so I don't know whether I think it's seats are worth the effort to install but the seats from a CRX (made by Recaro, IIRC) are among the nicest automotive seats I've ever experienced.

I think the TII seats are excellent. If you're a bigger guy, you might find the seatbacks too narrow because the side bolsters are pretty snug, but they seem to fit me perfectly. Those would be a really easy upgrade, and people are selling them in the Classifieds pretty regularly.

People who don't think or research get flamed. Like previously said why would something from a totally different car of a totally different generation simply bolt into a 20 year old RX7?
Use your brain and save yourself the humiliation.

I don't see any flaming in this thread at all....

It is safe to say that there is not seat, except the FC seat, that will bolt directly into an FC. Consider that most cars have a fairly flat floor while the FC does not. The driver seat is often an easy swap as the stock mount can just be modified by welding on new mounting tabs or drilling new mounting holes. The passenger mount can be modified in basically the same way but because the inner mount is on a 30 degree angle, it's a lot more trouble then the driver mount.

The best way to determine if any seat fits in the car is to simply measure the seat and it's mounting points. Then you can figure out what needs to be done to install it.
