love love these seats!!!do they slide back further on rails then the oem seats? my passenger seat doesnt seem to wanna go back that far even tho there is room, where did you end up picking them up from??
Today I installed some RZ seats into my car. After sitting in them I think Mazda missed the mark by not putting them in a lot more cars. They are very comfortable and make much better use of the space in the cabin. As a 6'1" guy, I can stretch right out in the passenger side now. 
These seats came out of car I recently bought to get some nice parts from. It was advertised as a Black RX-7. When I went to see it the fellow indicated it was some touring model with a larger gas tank. Somehow I keep from smiling to much and paid the man and loaded up the car. Kinda like the story of an ad in paper advertising an old chevrolet for sale and finding out it is a split window corvette. Turns out this is a Mines Motorsports tuned RZ that needs water seals.
I will admit, it does feel a bit sacrilegious pulling the RZ parts of it. Kinda like killing it somehow. But, someone will get a nice R1 equipped car out of it.
p.s.- car for sale in Canadian classifieds

Thanks for your comments on the seats. I was lucky enough to come across a RZ here in Canada, only had to buy the whole car to get the seats! I'm not certain if these rails slide back further but the seats are certainly thinner than the r1 seats. Either way, I can barely reach the front foot area on the passenger side with the seat all the way back. Cheers!

So i was having a little bit of a boost issue so i gave no ***** and tore her down to block to delete solenoid rack / parallel my enfini turbos / delete my emissions bs and clean the harness up.
This.
While that might be something i would say just to be a dick lol, you have a valid point.
My FD runs, runs great actually. Besides the shitty suspension and little nick nacks that i need to address, the car will go anywhere. Do i trust it? Prob not. I probably have a 50 mile limit per trip in case i get stuck somewhere, at least i wont be too far from home.
But apart for that, i can take my FD to work, but i wouldnt want to. The roads are terrible, the cops are dicks and in the parking lot, people park SUPER close to each other. So why would i?? Makes no sense.

You mis-assumed what I had in mind.
I was thinking something more like the attached.
Everything works, and quite well.
Wouldn't drive it to work though.
