Nice!! It's been a while, but iirc, those seats are pretty comfortable and supportive! A friend that I worked with bought one new in '07 (I think...). Thought I recognized them before I read your caption....

I love everything about the RX8 except the fact that engine rebuilds/replacements are pretty much a 60k-100k maintenance item on them. (Used to work on them at a Mazda dealership.) Found a 2005 in the junkyard in really good shape with the seats in really good shape, and told my dad "I'll find a way to make the things fit, let's grab them!"
Now I've got to figure out just how in the hell that's going to work. I'll probably give that a try Thursday afternoon.

The seat bodies don't look any wider than my eBay racing seats I've got in mine, they'll fit. Those brackets look tall though, I'm sure you can figure out a way to mount to II rails to the seat bottoms.
Yeah, I have 10 rivets on each seat to drill out to separate the factory rails from them, then I will be able to bolt them to the II rails using two 18" long pieces of 3/16" thick steel (went with 2" wide for strength and to provide more mounting options).Those brackets look tall though, I'm sure you can figure out a way to mount to II rails to the seat bottoms.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?I think I saw some seats in the first post. Is someone redoing a miata?

That's almost exactly how I did it, except that I kept the eBay seat rails, just some nice flat stock bolted to the bottom of the rails to adapt to the II's mounting holes. That also let me put the seat back a couple of inches which has worked great for me (I'm 6'5 so most of the time my head is touching the headliner). Reclining is good too. You can see the front of the rail adapter sticking out at the front right of the driver's seat.Yeah, I have 10 rivets on each seat to drill out to separate the factory rails from them, then I will be able to bolt them to the II rails using two 18" long pieces of 3/16" thick steel (went with 2" wide for strength and to provide more mounting options).
