I believe the Type C did have rear seats. I believe the Type C was a Type B with an auto trans.

In that picture, notice the abundance of red behind the front seats, vs everything back there being black(gray?) in the Type A.

 

I figured that was just rear bins etc. But you're prob right...

 

hey ramy... the red looks like a different red than the 93 red. is it? i feel like this is more of a red-red where the us ones are more of a maroon

 

Yes it's a very different red.

Also keep in mind, there are two diff. reds in the US. There's the 93 red, which is lighter IIRC, and the 94 red which is maroon. And the two years also differed by which interior parts were red (door panels, etc). There's a thread about it somewhere. I only knew b/c my friend has a 94 red.

 

jeez, so there are *3* different reds? i got some "red" covers from leatherseats.com but was somewhat disappointed with the shade of red. for 500 bucks i cant complain though.

 

Heath, for $500, I could do BOTH seats for ya, in the color of your choice, in the material of your choice, INSTALLED. I work w/ one of the best interior shops in the country; they do cars for Barret Jackson restoration cars and are also contracted by Ferrari. Next time gimme a hollar

Just for fun, here are some pics I took w/ my phone the last time I stopped by the shop. This is but a sample of the interesting variety they have parked out front on any given day

 

500 to recover BOTH seats is impossible using quality leather, including labor. if its 500 for a set of seats ill send in my FD seats, 67 volvo seats, MG seats, miata seats, AND my daily driver seats to have done! if they really charge that amount and do quality work id start packing up every seat i own today to send them in.

 

Heath, ok well maybe I embellished a little bit But it's not far off the mark. I wasn't thinking about leather, because quality leather is very expensive. In fact, if you're as **** as I am, you want all the leather on the SEAT to look like the same grain. So you end up with one of two choices: buying SEVERAL hides, because only a small central portion of the hide is uniform and thus "usable" to my standards, or you pay TOP DOLLAR for a single large piece of hide from the top leather source in the country. The difference in price between the two tends to be negligible when all is said and done btw.

But yea, I've had MANY a seat repaired, recovered, redone, etc. Not just customer seats, but personal seats too etc. So if you're serious, email me several pics (diff angles) of the seat(s) you'd like repaired, and I can get ya an estimate. They do top notch work, and b/c I bring 'em lots of business, they gimme great prices...

PS: I'm DEF. interested in seeing those Volvo & MG seats. Antique high quality stuff is right up their alley...

 

i wonder how much to do a 2+2 conversion on a touring model..?

 

You mean to install rear seats? Because most JDM FD's came with rear seats, so you can buy 'em and install 'em. No custom work needed. (I sell 'em btw hehe).

If you mean how much to recover the rear seats, should be about the same...as it's relatively the same amount of material...

 

thats scary.... im never going to be able to get them... by the time i have the money they will all be destroyed

 

That's why I buy *every* pair I can get my hands on...and that's VERY few...

mine is a 2002 series 8 type r version 6
