Final Verson FC3C BBS 16 X 7 +40 silver lip gold spokes (120000 yen) 5 wheels left in stock

Out of stock and no longer going to be stocked

There are pics of both the Infini OEM visors and FORESIGHT Carbon Visors in the Infini Group buy thread. I replied with price shipped to your zipcode for FORESIGHT Carbon Visors

if you check out the group buy section of the forum you can order them there.



The Infini ones are Mazda OEM for Japan only. They only where stock on the Infini cars, but soon alot of people wanted them and Mazda sold them an add on option.

They are smoke like this


FORESIGHT makes Carbon Visors
inside core is fiberglass with Carbon fiber outer layers
they look like this

I'm not sure if the US Dealer stock the duck bill anymore or not. These parts I listed above are only Mazda Japan stock. I hope that means that FD's will start dropping in price. In Japan you can pick up a nice FD for 2500 ~ 4000

Even if Mazda did ship them to the states, I don't know if anyone in the states would to buy Infini seats from the dealer.


Here is the part number for Infini IV drivers seat.
399000 yen ( about $4800 for 1 seat ) the exchange rate sucks

Quit tempting me with those Foresight visors. I need the car to run, not dump money on sweet JDM parts.

Need to know how to tell the difference in Infini Version II and III seat vs Version IV seat

there are 4 versions of the Infini FC3S car. Each had little difference in the seats.
The version II and III cars are in a fixed upright potions. You can only adjust the front back by sliding the seat.

The version 4 seats the Drivers seat you can adjust the angel of the back rest. but not very much only about 10 deg.



Infini II and III driver seats



Infini IV drivers seat
see the lever on the at the bottom? Only the drivers seat is adjustable the passenger seat is fixed

i had the last one in my hands in the 90's... any FC seat was long dead in 2001 (seat covers were even spotty)....

don't forget if the part is at the dealer we're too cheap to buy it, no matter what it costs.

I'd like to get some knee pads made to fit USDM cars, and a footbar too while wer're at it (I know someone has already made their own footbar, and I don't even think its branded to begin w/ )

I guess this isn't all that surprising. Luckily, even though progress on my restoration has completely stalled out, I have most of the OEM parts I need to be happy. While it's sad that parts are going to become harder to source, I'm honestly looking forward to the day when these become more of a reasonably priced collector car instead of just cheap cool transportation.

I had no idea any car manufacturer made knee pads like those. I want them for every car I drive.
