Lightbulb Serial Number of Recaro RZ/ Spirit R explained

Hi to all the experienced FD3S enthusiasts.

Is there any info on what the serial number and other numbers/codes on the sticker of the OEM Recaro Carbon/Kevlar RZ/Spirit R seats represent? For example, can you tell that the seat is e.g.#1 out of 150 RZ seats ever made? Or can you tell the manufacture and testing date?

I attach photos of the sticker on the bottom of driver's and passenenger's seat for reference.

Really? No one knows? I though it would be a simple question...

Since I had the opportunity to put my hands on a pair of Spirit R Recaros, it seems that they do have the manufacturing date written on the sticker at the bottom of the seat. Thought it would be good to share it for anyone interested.


Manufacturing date: 9th August 2002.

Hi Jason, these seats are from a Miata (MX-5) NA8CE Roadster Limited edition. The FC-N035-110 is rhd drivers seat and was manufactured on 14 June 1994, and the FC-N035-160 is the rhd passengers seat and was manufactured on 27 June 1994. They are essentially the same seats as the 1995 FD3S RZ edition and originally should have come in black covers. They are indeed rare seats.

^^^ that’s awesome dude, thanks for the info.. so my seats are 1 of only 500 ever made for the EUNOS ROADSTER RS, that is so awesome to know..

I am extremely surprised more folks on this forum won’t post up their seat numbers so we can start a database..

Awesome info on this thread. I recently acquired an RZ seat and I'm in the process of getting the another. Here's a picture of my label. Looks like mine came from an FD (F104) with a manufactured date of 06/26/1995.

I just picked up a seat, unfortunately with different patterns, but here are the stickers. If anyone is in my boat and has a mis matched set, I would love to trade!
