Anybody know this guy?

If you do let me know, please. I had seen his car but can't remember which thread it was....wanted to know where he got his seats, rims, and wheel. If you know him, or know where you can get the JDM seats, rims and steering wheel, It would be appreciated, thanks! I know he's from Cali..

the steering wheel is the nardi steering wheel out of the mazdaspeed protege (or the earlier mp3) but they had grey on them on the sides, but he could have dyed those parts...

Or he could've bought a '99 plus Nardi wheel out of the JDM FD. They look the same. And you can't see enough of the seats to see what brand they are. My guess would be Bride, or Sparco. Those are the only two companies I can think of that offer the yellow carbon fiber buckets like that.

LOL thanks for the warning Jim. The steering wheel is off a 2001 RX-7 and is a bit different than the Miata and Protege wheels. It is all black. The seats are Mazda OEM Recaros that came on the Spirit-R type A cars sold in 2002.

That steering wheel looks exactly like the stock one in my '01 Miata. I can't say whether they're the dame size, but mine's all black with a NARDI logo on the bottom spoke.

Might be easier to find than a JDM FD one.

Yeah they are almost the same except for the location of the perforation along the wheel. It's hardly noticable.

Aristo, I said it once, and I'll say it again...your car is DEAD sexy My hat's off to you man! Although I think w/ a Spirit R shifter, ebrake, boot, and headunit, it would be AMAZING (I'm an overachiever haha)

Hey Jason...thanks for the plug
