hey, i was wondering if anyone had any pictures of the red seats from the 1999+ model years. it looks like they come on the RZ models?? maybe the RS? im NOT talking about the recaro seats from the spirit R.... just the regular FD seats that are in red.

reason being, is they look to be a brighter shade of red than the red ones available in the US, and id like to attempt to locate a set from japan. problem is, im not sure who to talk to about used parts from japan anymore as jt-imports is gone. anyway if anyone has any pictures of the seats, or contact info for someone that sells used FD parts from japan please let me know. thanks, heath

 

heres one straight outta a Spirit-R. As for knowing if they are brighter....im not sure. They definately are different from the US red interior but without seeing them in person its hard to tell from a picture (some look brighter, some look darker). In any case you can expect to pay a pretty penny for them.

Unless you have money to burn, or junkyard contacts in Japan id say it would eb easier to by new leather covers in the shade you want.

 

The red seats came out with type-x models in early days. Not on RZ

 

I would bet that they are the same color. Interior colors change with age due to different factors like sunlight, oil produced by the human body, & dirt and grime from normal use.

there are spirit R red seats that are made by recaro?

 

spirit r's had red recaro seats

 

That's only the type A, there were three types of Spirit Rs. the a was a two seater and had the recaros, the b is the one pictured in post #2

 

there are three variations of spirit r's. the pictures above is "b" or "c" kind of like touring and base models. the "a" is like the R1 or R2 models, which has Recaro seats.

 

Spirit R red seats.

 

I think FDNewbie has a set...

 

LIke TpcPlaya said, unless you have tons and tons of money, it'd probably be a lot cheaper just to have the seats re-upholstered. Even though it would be cool to have Spirit R seats, locating them would be a PITA and it'd just be easier to have them re-done.

Good luck on a decision and/or search.

 

spirit r type a b and c, one was 2+2 =P type a is the sports one, type r bathurst are hot too they have carbon interiors =D

 

do my eyes decieve me? those look like LEATHER rear seats! as far as ive seen till now, all rear seats were vinyl... (at least mine are). anyway, the red seats i was thinking of are like those shown above (NOT the recaro ones)... except i seem to remember them in a brighter shade of red. i seem to recall a picture or 2 of an IBM car with the red seats. if anyone happens to have pictures of an IBM car w/ the red seats could you please post it?? (im painting my 20b project car in IBM and going 99 spec... and i was contemplating some of the red seats to make the black interior less boring).

so no one has any hookups for used FD parts from japan?? man i really miss JT-imports!!!

THANK YOU... exactly what i was looking for. well i think im almost settled... the red seats look awesome with the IBM. ill probably just try to find a good reuphoulstry place to do them. now if you'll please excuse me i have to change my pants... that car looks ******* GOOD! best FD color IMHO, and the red calipers and seats just accent it really well.
