That's a really nice car.

If you don't mind, I have a question: How well does the Exas III hold you? I'm guessing you haven't really taken the car out for a track day or anything yet, but from what you can tell, do they feel like they'll keep you in place during turns? And how comfortable are they?

I'm shopping for a Bride from the very short list of those that will fit our vehicles. Thanks

They are very supportive seats. They are kinda snug though. My waist is between a 38 and 36 and I kinda have to squeeze into the seats. But once I'm in, I'm in! I haven't taken the car to a track day yet but I would say these seats would do a hell of a job keeping you in place. As far as comfort they are very comfortable for this type of race seat. Hope that helps.

I also have a question as I am looking into a suede steering wheel. Is it impossible to drive without gloves?

It's not bad at all. I like it a lot actually. Very grippy. Feel good in your hands.

As someone stated before if those seatbelts are attached to the factory rear strut bar I would not drive 2 feet before having something safe. It's a totally unsafe setup. Use the factory belt if they're still there.

Unfortunatly he took out the factory seatbelts. I will be looking for a better attachment point as soon as I can. I may bolt in some anchor in the hatch floor just behind the rear bins. Atleast it will be better then the current setup cause I won't be caging the car anytime soon.

Sup Cliff! Yeah, I've been a member here for a while but just haven't posted. As far as I know there are not too many members in Hawaii with RX-7's.
