Where can i purchase the back seat for my RX7. It only has the two rear compartments for tools. Sometimes i want share the force of the mighty 7 with my friends but lack of rear seats prevents this.

New or used seat it-does not matter.

Look in the parts for sale section of the site, once in a while they're in there from people over seas. There were none imported into the US by mazda. Can be quite expensive too. And the seating "area" is so small your friends might not fit in it. I'll see if I can find some pics somewhere.

They are hardly even functional. Mazda made them in Japanese models to qualify the car for a different vehicle class (tax reasons or something). There is very little leg room, even with the front seats slid forward.

too much trouble to put them in. leg room sucks. (sit in the back with them in then try to stay comfortable. the seats remind me of the 3000GT ones. but the 3000gt has a little more room in it!

I wouldn't mind a set of rear seats. Just for looks

Seen 2 or 3 sets and they definately look better than the rear bins. Anyone over 3ft tall will not fit. But hey its not like those rears bins are really usefull for anything other than a Gallon of coolant and a fire ext.

monster-RX7

i agree!!! its better to have two uncomfortable chicks than none at all.

Makes me think of porsche rear seats

Also the ladies are more likely to sit all cramped up in the back v.s. sitting in the hatch.

i have had 6 people in my fd with no need for these seats. of course it was incredibly stupid but incredibly hilarious when i shot flames on my friends leg which was hanging out of the open hatch. WE WERE GOING VERY SLOW VERY LATE AT NIGHT AND NO ONE WAS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER.

DAMN man... have you been peeking into my rear bins ?

SexyRX

Ha! LOL I think that's what we all have in our rear bins!

Haha, well I've got the fire extinguisher, but no coolant.

when i was in japan i was told that like 90% or rx-7s came with rear seats. most of the ones i saw had them, but many of the ones with work done had them removed.... go figure....

S-MAN

Removed for a reason, rear seats don't belong in sports cars, if you want a family vehical get a Rx8. No i can't hate on the 8, that much. But if your just doing it for looks and it sounds like it will be alot of $ for alot of nothing, then why not just get something molded in with like fiber glass or something.

you guys are better than me i dont even like lettin one other person in my car, they always wanna pull that damn handel the and its kinda ghetto riged to look good. even the damn woman its sad i have to remind her every day and every time she gets in DONT PULL ON THE HANDLE!

You also have to remember that just about every car in Japan comes with four seats no matter what kind of car it is. i.e Supra, RX-7, 300zx 2+2, Skyline

In Japan, the thinking of cars are different. It's too "impractical", etc. to not have four seats. There's a higher demand for a car with four seats than for one with two because their society views them differently. My dad has a friend in Japan and that's a little bit of what he told my dad. He mainly said that four-seaters are popular and that two-seaters are not nearly as much. BTW The guy talking to my dad actually owned an FD in Japan.

They are good for holding bags of groceries; prevents things from around in the hatch.

Curious. What are the long term consequences of drastically overloading the car (weight wise)?

I'm a big guy and when I am in the car with ONE other bigger person, the suspension can be heard creaking.

monster-RX7

I dont think that making a sports car with back seat takes away its sporty looks. In fact it makes the car more versatile. I believe the lambo was originally to be made with ONE front seat and no BACK ones...grave stupidity!!!! Thank God good sense prevailed. Look at the beautiful rear doors on the RX8...one just slips into the rear seat without disturbing the pilot...i mean the driver...ha ha ha!!!
