Yeah. It's a recaro and it serves it's purpose. I'm at the stage right now where I'm not really worried about looks, rather finish up the reliability mods and then move on to performance.

Every time I see the seat it reminds me of the HKS Drag GTR from the mid 90's

there are a few different ways to do it. i chose to take the shift **** off, pop the console off and remove the boot, screw the **** back on and draw a line on the rod at the farthest point it screws down to, remove the **** again, wrap tape around the rod until it builds up so that the boot will fall no lower than the line on the rod, replace console and boot, screw **** back on.

thats how i did mine, it looks good, its easy, takes hardly and time at all, and it stays in place well. hope this helps.

Well that's weird because it says, "MAZDASPEED" down the side of it.

Oh, my bad, I thought you were referring to post #45, by wompa, which he claimed was a Mazdaspeed **** but which is infact am OEM piece. Yeah I agree, the one showed with Mazdaspeed on the side does seem pretty unique, and I don't think I have ever seen it before.

Miata and FD should be interchangeable.

Couple of questions (ok three):
1. What is the threading for FB shifters?
2. Anyone seen a Skunk2-style **** (see pic) that would fit FB? Shape, color and etching?

3. Will Thompson Auto Parts etch the shift pattern into the top of the Team Voodoo *****?

I want mine to have the old school Mazda emblem, my steering wheel has that horn button already and it would match. Does anyone know how I can get this done, or where I can get one with the emblem? Black preferably.
