I can price/source a brand new OEM set(s) if you like.

If you don't light your cigars with greenbacks... don't bother asking, lol.

the seats have been around since 95 (in FDs), and there is also an FC version. They aren't all exactly the same.

are the rails universal? I don't know - but if we can clarify what year FD (or FC) they came from - then that won't be an issue.

You're the same guy pissing on Aristo's 'For Sale' thread with an RZ seat for sale, telling him the seat is worth only $200. You think these sliders are going to be cheaper than that?

^

Then buy the Recaro for 600$ since you know all. Maybe it comes with the seat belt "thing" because people don't usually run harnesses out of the factory

Rich,

What size Fikse wheels do you have on your FD? I was thinking about getting a set in 18" and was worried that the ride would suffer.

Thanks,
Kevin

lol.

I'll quote myself...

I did a pricing session at mazda at the weekend and got a current quote on some of the seat parts.

I say 'some' of the parts - as they've annoyingly split the seats into individual parts (with the older versions, you could buy them as a complete set) - in other words, if you want a seat, you have to buy all the individual pieces and put it all together. There are 40 or so parts.

I couldn't be bothered pricing it all out, so I just priced the 4 main sections of the actual seat - shell, main cover, upper pad, butt bad...

These came to a total (inc tax) of 391,545yen. @today's rate, that's US$3,496.

Once you bought the other 35 or so parts, you can guarantee it would be well over US$4k before shipping, etc.

no recaro seats sell for 200$. i was saying there not worth 200$ cause i can get new recaro seats just like those for about 600$.. i forget what the seats are called but they look just like the RZ seats but with out the seatbelt strap on the side.

And they are made of kevlar (*not* fiberglass) and bolt right in, with no fitment issues? And I suppose the seat rails bolt right to the seats too? Dude, not to be harsh, but you are out of touch with reality on this one.

the seat found in FDs is actually specific - but it is, iirc, based on the recaro sp-a. The rrp from recaro is well over US$2000 - so $600 is quite a discount.

heres a link for the seats, pole position. there pretty damn close to the RZ seats. the RZ rails would have to be modified to the seats tho which isnt a big deal. im not sure if there made in carbon fiber but that doesnt matter to me because i make my own CF parts..

i never said 200 for a new seat. i can make it in carbon fiber, not dry but i will vacuum bag it which will make it stronger.. dry is no stronger then a vacuum bagged part.
