seats in a FD?

[madmatt]

im shopping around for a set of seats but in finding it hard to know what will fit a FD as the door cards get in the way.  
 
thanks

The narrowest you can find.
Bride is normaly the easiest way to go cause it\'s a garunteed fitment.
Trouble with anything else is even if you get them in they aren\'t straight with the pedals.

thanks tim. i understand there is a company (forgot the name) that make a mount for the FD to fit most seats. but as u said they still need to be thin.

Unfortuantely not all Brides go in either - I can tell you now that Zeta\'s won\'t go in (much to my utter dismay )
Most of their old school recliners won\'t go in either.

The issues with the FD are twofold: The space between transmission tunnel and door car ar very small, and the tops of the door cards are quite close to the centre of the car.
This means that you need a seat with a narrow lower section and narrow shoulder supports in order to get it to fit, let alone a comfortable driving position.

thanks SiH, do u have any recomdations on what fixed seats that will fit ?

[gmogle]

Dont some of the Recaros fit ? Like the Recaro Speeds ?

i got cobra imola,s in mine if thats a help

[Timmy]

Bride have a list of which of their seats fit, so yeh don\'t just guess.

[madmatt]

does anyone know if the flowing fit please ?
 
Corbeau Seats - Clubman V2 Bucket Seats
Sparco Seats - Sprint V Bucket Seats

thanks

[SiH]

my Brides are recliners, so that doesn\'t really help
I\'m pretty sure that the Vios\' fit, but not sure about any others I\'m afraid

IIRC the Sparco Evo\'s MAY fit (but don\'t quote me on that) and the Recaro speeds, as above.
I think there\'s a list on Rx7club

[madmatt]

dont spose u have a link do SiH, dont know many of the FD site.

Gias Lowmax

Mazdaspeed:

Corbeau: - some models, they supply the custom racks.

i have corbeau sprints, they fit, the pro\'s didnt still very very tight though

cobra suzukas fit too

[SiH]

Zeta III WILL NOT fit without serious modification of door card and/or seat, so I\'d be dubious of that list
