F1spec gauging interest in being a rx-7 sponsored seller for full bucket racing seats
Thumbs up for F1spec customer service. They called me today to confirm my credit card because it didn't match up. Of course as long as they get their money, what do they care, right? But I still think it was good of them to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off, or ripping someone off.
Also, at the same time they gave me an estimate of 4 business days to Ohio. So hopefully on Tuesday, halloween, I'll be installing a seat before I go out Trick-or-Treating.

i got a seat from them, type 2.
was able to use the provided slides and mounts in an FB driver side. had to change up the mounting a bit, some drilling required but really no big deal at all.
seat has very nice lateral and shoulder support, also the back is in the natural driving position.
padding is a little on the thin side, so make sure you take everything out of your pockets if you plan on doing any brisk driving

i didnt take pics during the mounting, i can describe it though. for the rear i used a nut/bolt through the top of the stock mount. for the front i used a 2 1/2" bolt and went all the way through the floor with a bolt and washer underneath.
i will get some pics of it in the car tomorrow.

it took me around 15 mins and a trip to ace to get it to fit very nicely in a 1st gen.

I'll consider getting a Type 3 in fiberglass (don't have the money to spend on CF or carbon-kevlar, as much as I'd like them) once I have that kind of money to spend (in a few weeks)... assuming I can fix my other problems first.
I figure I could use your side mounts, combined with Wedge Engineering brackets, and Sparco sliders... if that combo would actually be lower than stock at least.

Once i see some one install them in to a FD. Then i will be willing to buy but untill then my money stays in my pocket. I hope they fit in a FD because i like them. However, like them as i may but if they dont fit they are useless.
