2nd Gen seats in a 1st gen
Has anyone ever swapped the seats from a second gen into a first gen? I was thinking of swapping seats from a base model '87 RX-7 to my '83 RX-7 S. Is is extremely difficult? Thanks for any replies.
I'm learning as I go along here, first gens are new to me as you can see.

How much you getting the 2nd gen seats for? My interior could use a make over with carpeting, various panels, and maybe some nice new seats. My seats look perfect, but are kind of crunchy after 17 years of sun. Surprised there are no rips. My passenger side seat though, seems to have lost a weld near the rear bolt so it rattles on the rollbar sometimes. I'll have to take a look at how they mount to the rails since I didn't know about that. Hopefully, a bolt is just loose then.

I have an '87 parts car so I have a pair of seats just sitting in there. My carpet (in the first gen) looks like someone crapped on it and then smelled the crap and puked.

Tennis, anyone
the sides of 2ed gen seats have colour coded plastic
before installing,paint to match,,,as far as 3rd gen
stuff,i don't know,,a while back,there was a seat thread.
and i don't think they were a direct bolt up,like 2ed gens

That restore magazine (vicotrybritish or something) has complete carpet sets for like $250. I plan on getting a set but they only come in Blue, Red, Black, and Tan I believe they listed. Anywho, my interior is almost for certainly grey(ish). I think it could be considered blue, but it is more likely a grey.
I febreezed the crap out of the inside but it still kinda resembles the smell of a car which has seen a lot of mechanical work and I hate that. If I swap out the seats, carpet, storage bins, hatchback carpeting/pad underneath, is there anything else to retain the odor?
Ugh, the headliner. =/

I have the crap brown interiour on my gold 83. Anyone know if the 2nd gen had any crap brown seat colors. Otherwise I have to smear dung on the seats so the color matches the way they smell already.
