Finally, pictures of my car (dirty)
#5
Well most of my time has been spent stripping the old blue out and putting in black, but i've got an upper strut bar, bonez superflow, tokico hp's... intake... not much done engine wise yet, as i'm trying to tackle one problem at a time. it's got an act 4 puck copper clutch and HD Pressure plate. New grounds, removed ac/ps/ac core and blower unit. Also has a newer rebuilt transmission SS brake lines and Mazdatrix carbon steel brake pads.
The seats are DAD racing seats... basically the cheapest torino style seats. I had to custom make brackets for them.. but they are pretty nice.

Nice car, love the color. Everything is cool except the pedals. But overall a great looking car IMO.

But I got those both replace with OEM parts.

I put them there, right now they are screwed into the fiberglass, but I plan on making some custom surrounds that will make it completly flush as soon as my rotozip gets here . I'm also considering making these en mass.

Really, you get what you pay for. I paid 400 bucks for mine off ebay. The seat rails are total crap, I custom fabricated some from the stock seats. They are VERY comfortable if you've got a 34-38 waist. If your any bigger, your *** won't fit in the seat
The cloth is so so. But the bolsters are stiff and hold you in place. The "pleather" contact points are ok quality. It's really not a bad deal for 400 dollars. I wasn't about to pay 800 for a set of corbeau's.
Also, I picked up my seats from the only guy that's selling them right now... Since he bought EVERY SINGLE PAIR DAD racing had. If you want, email me @ defekt@thoughtshop.com And I can get you his information.

dad seats
i also have the DAD seats in my 86 rex, i love them, i wish they were real leather but other than that, for the price, these seats look the best and are the most comfortable you can get. i also got mine off ebay for around $400.

That car looks much better in person. In the pictures, the blue looks a little faded. In person, its bright and it shimmers (as Mike will tell you, its Yamaha F1 blue, same color as my friend's R6).
So you finally got that passenger seat in, eh? Looks real nice. Finish up that interior and it will be a really sweet ride. Give me a call too, I think I may be in remedial driving classes this Saturday because of too many damn tickets.

Hehe, Yeah I need to clean it up a little bit and then the paint will shine... The cloudy-ness affects the color. It Looks almost purple at night.
Yeah the passenger seat was a bitch to custom fabricate. I drilled and welded bolts under the body for the second seat.

you can find these seats at other places than Ebay, like urbanimports.com i think. The seats also have a warranty on them, like lifetime on the frame, and 1 year on fabric and stitching i think.
Can we have some more pictures of the seats?
