Has anyone ever heard of a rear seat for a 84 first gen...or even better have one to sell...i read a long time ago a company in california made them for a short while. Even saw one in a car on e-bay a while back.



Got my carb problems "in check"...as much as i can...i was gettin a lug lug lug and the engine would run like crap in mid warmup...emissions which i don't have anymore were trying to kick in...guess the carb thought it wanted em or something. Anyone had any experience with other forms of carbs or perhaps fuel injection...this is on a 12a. I'm just looking for something to get me good mileage and reliability...power would be good...but i don't have to have it. I heard a 2bbl webber would give me a increase in mpg...but it might be too much of a loss in power compared to my 4bbl nikki.



Any advice would be appreciated...as i will have a lot of spare time now since i unexpecetedly became single again as of yesterday...life is wierd hu?

For rear seats, see if someone on ausrotary.com will sell you one. They had quite a few 1st gens with rear seats in Australia.



I thought about getting one but seems to me it would not be terribly useful.

Most of the non-US models had rear seats.

Cool

Didn't all Aussie rx's get back seats? Are you sure you really want them, i can hardly even fit one person in the back of my rx, and even if i do, they have to sit with their legs on the opposite side of the car than their ****. I think i will be removing mine in the future.

Currently i can only carry me and one person...the two other people i usually ride with are girls under 100 pounds...both under 5' 5"...so its not a problem



I might have to find a new home for my amp tho...kinda get in the way of everybodys legs...plus i don't want mud and dirt on the top of it



Another thing...exactly how hard would it be for me to install this thing?

Currently i have the 2 standard locking cubbies behind my seats...barely enough room behind the seat with it back to fit a small bag behind...i'll try to take some pics of all my crap and post it tomorrow for u guys over seas

heh.. the seats suck.. i will try to get a picture of mine tomorrow... won't be the best of pictures though.. if your short then you will manage to get people in the back, you have to have the front seats atleast half way forwed to be able to get someones legs behind it. here is a picture of my '79 13b, it still needs lots of work, but we are getting there. You can sought of see the back seat inbetween the two front seats.
