These seats are so expensive. Very hard to get. I was only able to get the driver side from Japan auction site. Here are pics.

Are they perfect fit? Do you have any information about the sizes of this seat? I'm looking something for myself, and this data would be very useful, thanks!

BTW, they look really nice, thumbs up!

they're straight out of an FD - so the fit won't be an issue

from the other thread: http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r10436342 - are the spirit r versions (not a bad price for two seats + rails)

Yes, they are perfect fit. It is alot easier to get out the car than any other racing seats. Bottom seat are alot wider than other recaro seats. But it doesn't really hold me well. But they are sure alot more comfortble.

Nice seat. You going to put in a 4 or 5 point harness with it? And what's up with that steering wheel?

Humm... Nardi steering wheel is very nice to have. Specially when you racing, alot better control and grip than stock. I don't think I'll put racing seat belt on, cuz this one is for daily drive. I might do it on my white one.

if you're getting a garbled yahoo - try (in IE) - view>encoding>japanese - of course, it'll be in japanese (which ain't much better, for most people, than squares and squiggles...). Then you can try a translator, such as altavista's babelfish - which will translate into 'english' (or a very vague interpretation of english...)
