Being in Europe we don't see that many 'rare' or JDM parts, unless we order it.

So I found a set of RZ carbon kevlar seats on a UK RX7 forum.
Honestly, the drivers' side (now my pasenger seat as I'm LHD) has serious wear on the cloth but both seats will be refurbished)

I bought these very cheap with rails and everything and I'm guessing I'm about the only one in Europe with these seats. So I'm frigg'in proud of it :-)





pics are cell phone quality, sorry

 

they look used

 

Ya think?

 

sure they are used... at 4000dollar per seat new from Mazda I'm not buying them new.

I'm going to put new clear coat on the backs and new fabric/mousse on them.

 

looks awesome man how much do they weigh?

 

Nice. Make sure you post pics after you're done refurbishing them!

 

Nice, but your cell phone sucks dude!

 

i would also like to know.

i am also in the market for some new seats. i have been trying to hunt down this ugly *** cavilier i saw in town with 2 red sparco seats(i dont know if he realizes his seats are worth more then his car??). i wanta see if i can persuade him to sell them to me.

the search continues...

 

there's alot of knock of sparco's and recaro's out there btw

 

wow, never knew that. prob expected since the originals are 2k+ a seat. i dont mind though, i am mostly going for looks and comfort. pretty noob things to say, i know..

 

I looked at the picture before reading about your crappy camera and thought you had covered them with astroturf...

 

I'm going to have them refurbished with the Recaro suede fabric but I might ask the shop to use red stitching (like the spirit R nardi steering wheel and shift booth.

Should give a nice effect

 

Very nice dude. How much did you pay. I'm jealous of the weight.

 

8OO pounds in the UK :-)

 

send us pics with the finished product.

 

Not me. I think you scored a rare set of seats for your FD and if you so choose, you could probably make few bucks selling them. I'd hold on to 'em though,.

 

not going to let them go

 

The seats weigh about 10 lbs IIRC (or less than 5 kg ), but the rails are fairly heavy.

Switching from R1 seats to the Spirit R seats ended up trimming about 20 pounds off my curb weight.

 

Those Brits have some interesting taste in fabrics....

Please do update us with pics when you get them redone. Congrats on the purchase.

 

you lucky dog...what a deal. i would have snapped those up in a heart beat.

 

My Memoryfab seats look alot like the FD RZ Recaros , can't wait to get my car back from the body shop so I can install these suckers.

 

Dam, what is that about $1500 dollars? Lots of money and it is still going to cost you a couple hundred to get them recovered. Let us know how they turn out.

 

Beautiful, congrats on the purchase!

 

If only i could afford those ...

 

And only 10 pounds in the US!!

I couldn't resist. . .
