Now I'm trying to pull out the rear seat but am not exactly sure how to do it. Am I right in thinking you have to push the bottom of the seat towards the rear of the car to get off the 2 hooks that are on the front, and then once the bottom lifts up the rest can be unbolted and pulled out?

 

Yes, exactly.

 

but what is more awesome than having a back seat that nobody can even fit in?!

 

I am not small (184cm) and i have driven hundreds of km's in the back seat of FC.
You just have to know how to sit in there without harm......

 

and by the time you Get OUT of that Back seat you will "sound" Japanese!!!( no racism intended!).
The seats may look nice but Really,they are not "useful".Except to hold a grocery bag or two.
The way I look at it is This: IF you have a Back seat then the Chick that you Want to Take home will ask her "fat friend" IF she wants to come along too!!!!
NO Back seat EQUALS No "cockblocking From the Fat Chick"!..and That EQUALS Rx7 Car Owner Getting LAID!!!!
Take the back seat out..You will Thank me for it!..Later!..STYX!~

 

Removing mine to fit a cage in. Without the cage it would only fit amputees. Now I'm limited to giving rides to amputee midgets.

Gonna see if anyone wants to swap them for a couple of cargo bucket things.

 

 

lol need to ride in the back seat of a cosmo next

 

I dont remember correctly if it was me or Luciu$, but one of us have ridden in back seat of 20B Cosmo when Mireck took us for drive

 

Those guys don't look too comfortable back there. Was that photo you posted supposed be be convincing us that the back seat of an FC is actually useful?

 

I don't care if they are useful. Both of mine have rear seats, and I'd have it no other way. Well... I would. But I do like them.

And as for people talking about the fat friend. I'd tell them if she could fit back there, we'd have a threesome hahaha

 

If you know how to sit there properly, you can ...
And you can for hours long trip...Speaking from my own experience.

Anyways, everybody's choice if they want these seats or not

 

What exactly is the trick to sitting properly back there? In the photo, both of those guys' heads are touching the roof which means you have to ride with your neck hunched over, even if you can find a way to get your legs around the front seats to get semi-comfortable. I guess the trick is to sit quietly back there and not complain about the neck pain and stiffness in your legs so everybody thinks you're fine.

 

They put back seats in RX7's?!?

 

you crack me up dave

 

LOL! I just laughed so hard reading that.. I used to own a prelude and thought the backseats were difficult to fit into.. I have already made it learn to my self that nobody will ever sit behind me. Im 6"1 and need my leg room to drive and the seat fully back touching the rear seat.

 

here's a page i ran into while looking for pics of FC's in japan.

LOL new desktop background!

I used to have an 88 SE with a back seat. It was pretty useful when someone under 5'8" needed a lift.
