"Infini" JDM Rear Seats?

I saw an eBay auction for a JDM Right Hand drive RX7, 1994. The auction description said it had rear seats. But the auction didn't have any pics of the rear seats.

Anyone know?

I Use to have some......They will work but you will need different interior parts to let the seats fit and so you can put seat belts in.

I thought I read somewhere that only the low-end model had them and removed the rear tower brace for more room. Unless you don't have leg why would you wan't them. I'm only 5'9" and my seat is only one click from being all the way back.

in japan, at least in the past, they didn't really like having two-seat sports cars, just like they self-imposed 280hp limit on their motors. so pretty much all rx-7s were 2+2's from way back, with the exception of high performance limited models, whereas our 7's were all two-seaters and w/ the fc the +2 rears seats were extra cost options. and you don't need to remove the brace to instal the rear seat. from what i've heard they're more "comfortable" than, or not as uncomfortable as, they seem because the hole you sit in is actually really deep

Here's some shots of the seats in the back of my cym. It has belts and stuff but I don't have the lock-post that stops them from folding forward, I am condsidering putting something in (door pin or something)

Not the best pic quality, and yes you'd need to have no legs at all to sit back there.
