I'd like to get the shift boot and the hand brake, just not sure where to go to get them. Also, where did you get the seats....I like the red stitching. I got one quote on reconditioning and red stitching my base model seats....$900....geez.... I could buy new seats for less!

 

Amayama or RHD for the boots.

You're not gonna get a good set of seats for $900 though.

 

Thanks for the reply. I just put my order in at Amayama. What does the Spirit belt guide look like, I've never seen one.

 

shift boot and ebrake handles from mazda are about $300 bux each. Type in the part number on https://www.amayama.com/en and they may be able to get some for you.

That price actually sounds about right if you want to reupholster the seats with new material... Also, I doubt you can buy new oem seats for less.

 

Where did you get those Seats....red stitching?

 

I've got the base model seats. I converted the base model to an R1, but didn't do the seats, I liked the base model seats better. The carbon fibre look matches the carbon fibre wrap on all the interior parts. The price I got for adding red stitching to the base seats, and new seat foam was around $900.

 

And thanks to all for the parts info....just waiting to hear back from Amayama...all the above parts, shift boot, hand brake, belt guide), shipped was $653.77.

 

Where did you get those seats....red stitching....nice!

 

Amayama didn't have the hand brake in stock so I ordered it from RHDJapan, couldn't justify Amayama's $318 for the Spirit shift boot, ordered it from Redline,,,,$41.65 shipped! Can you tell me where you got the red stitched seats. Thanks again for your info.

 

FYI, neither of those places have the item in stock so it wouldn't matter which you ordered from. Good luck on the Redline. I've had terrible service with this most recent order I did with them.

 

I just installed the Redline shift boot, it fit and looks nice, good quality, much better leather than the stock boot. Was wondering if the hand brake handle and boot from Redline would be a good replacement....less expensive than the Spirit handbrake.
Where did you get the Red stitched seats...very nice!

 

For the love of all that's holy guys-----

It's poor form on an internet forum to quote a post with multiple pictures at all, let alone over and over and over again.

Matt Gold's interior is super spiffy, but I don't need to scroll by it 17 times

 

Sorry about the quote 17 times.....I guess my forum manners need some work.
I installed Redlines Shift boot with no problems.I received the Spirit e brake assembly from Amayama. Everything fit Ok except the leather boot. Mazda must have changed the mounting ring it doesn't fit the original mounting holes of a 93 FD. I removed the old mounting ring from the old boot and tried to fit it to the new e boot.....the e boot is to small, it won't fit over the old mounting ring. I had to order another e boot from Redline. $280 for a red stitched e handle....ouch!
The RX7 Spirit E brake boot will not fit a 1993 RX7. I wonder if Matt Gold had that problem?

 

I have outliend the issues here, also how i solved it, using the old shifter boot frame and the new leather.

Hi guys thanks for the discussion about these parts.

I'm about to order the redline shift boot to go with the spirit r **** and ebrake.

I'm thinking about also ordering the redline trans cover.

Anyone else install the trans cover? I think it looks pretty good.

This is the finished look before the seats were red stitched.. Redline shift boot, console cover, Spirit ebrake with the Redline boot, I didn't like the Spirit ebrake boot, very thin leather. I had to swap the ebrake boot plastic mounting ring, the Spirit ring doesn't fit the '93 console.

 

Is that a carbon wrap or is the shiftier bezel a whole new piece?

 

Appears to be a carbon sticker since you can see the panel underneath when you look at the switches.

 

Oh wow I could barely tell, but yeah

 

That's the 3M 'carbon fiber' vinyl wrap. I wrapped the dash, all the interior plastic trim, outside door handle surrounds, and the R1 front spoiler. That stuff is super, it's easy to work with, very durable, it's been on the car for 4 years

and still looks as good as new. I actually like it better than the real carbon fiber, it has a soft textured feel, which goes nice with interior trim.

 

Yea a lot of my trim (along with everyone rx7 owner ever) has cracks or some visual defect. Pricey replacements arent an option so Ill check it out.
Thanks

 

Super glues, JB weld and epoxy using plastic screen mess work well to fix and re-enforce all the plastic mounts. It's time consuming, I spent days scraping and sanding off that awful '93 coating Mazda put on all the plastic, it went soft after 10 years, and was a pain getting it off.
