I'm almost sure it's the RZ model FDs that have this seat...basically it was a "stock" racing seat that was BLACK (so no, im not asking about the Spirit R red seats).

Im having a hella hard time searching for this, since the search function wont let you search using "RZ" since it has a 3 letter minimum...grrrr

also if anyone has pics of 'em, and knows where you can get 'em & for how much, that would be great

Scrub...you're telling me?! lol

Mahjik...aah...the links haha

Only prob, I already checked that site, and it has the 1999 RZ RED recaro seats... are those the same ones I'm talking about, just in a diff color? Cuz I thought the red ones were the Spirit R seats...

(sorry if they're the same thing...i have no idea lol)

Same seats (different color). They are about $3500 per seat. I believe Recaro does sell something "similar" themselves (as these are for Mazda only) for a little less (I think around $1500-1700 per seat).

You can see the list of available Recaro seats here:

Apparently, the Sparco Roadster is almost identical as well:

whoever came up with that price needs to be dragged out the back door and shot by a firing squad. That seat better suck and F*&$ you for that price. I guess if you get it your considered L33t??

Scub...I know what you mean. But what can I say? If they're exclusively from Japan, and Mazda at that, I'm sure the seats cost a cpl grand (my guess would be $4000). Now how you pay another $3K for shipping to the US...you got me. But i WANT those seats...

What is L33t??

oh and i take it you've watched Exit Wounds too, eh? (the "That seat better suck and F*&$ you for that price." part haha)

At least with the Mazda version, you get "real" mounting rails.

It's funny. This topic comes up about once a year and people always freak out when they see the price of the seats. Now you see why Jesse has that disclaimer on his website: "Dont shoot the messenger on this!"
