It's a 2 seater. But you can do a 4 seater conversion.

it is completely useless, you may be able to smuggle very VERY small children, uh, i mean child, across borders-if they sit sideways and fast for a month.

well I use mine for laptop and sometime's I put my son when I want a family curise thank god my wife is only 4ft11" tall so my son {very skiny fit sort of comfortable} there. the biggest problem is the front seat at the back underneat there is no room for him to put his feet under the seat like normal car seat do.In my opinion it's give a little more room to put stuff there than on top of the bins which will slide around when u hit turns like crazy.

3 people can fit good if the passenger seat is pulled forward a little. 4 would be really hard unless the driver is short.

I was just asking as a curiosity. You know how they make them cool little baby seats that look like racing seats. I don't have any kids myself, and I don't think I would want my baby riding in the FD with me anyway.

I will guess that the RX-7 (fd at least) has MUCH LESS rear seat room than any SUPRA - The FC 2+2s have much more room than an FD - rember the FD is much SHORTER than an FC or SUPRA for that matter
If you MUST have a 2+2 RX-7 get a T-II and add the rear seats

I have an issue of a Japanese RX-7 mag where they converted an FD into a wagon. Pretty sick...

it doesnt really matter... its your choice. i think 4 seats look nice. it just depends on the person and what he needs.

well i seen the pictures of the 2 extra seats. It wont fit anyone. i have been in a 93+ supra (bigger car than the FD) and my friend who owns it is about 5feet 4. I cannot sit in back of him because there is no space left for the feet. i am the same size as him. to think about it the empty passenger side had no space for the feet either. And hearing about a FD 4 seater is just ridiculous. V8 conversions, 3 rotors, racing seats, roll bar/cages, audio system, stripped interior, v6 conversions, 1 seater, they're all ok NOT 4 seats. why would u want to put 2 extra seats on a fantastic sports car? WHY would Mazda have the RX8 be "4door/4passenger sports car"!!!(still mad about that one). It's like having say Carmen Electra as a girl and then asking her to grow 2 more butt cheeks.
