Is there a 4 seater version of the 1st gen rx7's? all ive seen so far are 2 seaters...



And what are stock times/specs on a 1st gen 12a? i JUST found out now that my cousin GAVE HER 84 GSL AWAY!!!! she said if she knew i liekd em, she woulda given it to me :-(. this only makes me want to get one more tho....



She said it NEVER broke down for her at all, and that it was quick... does that sound realistic to you guys? My uncle even said it was a quick/fun car.



Because if i were to get one, id want it to be at least quicker than the 98 civic im driving right now, which probably runs something like a 15.5 to 16.0 in teh 1/4 mile. and im dying for a RWD daily driver.



Thanks guys.

there were some 2+2 variations. but i wouldnt it call it a 4 seater.

If I'm not mistaken overseas (New Zealand, Australia) most, if not all, FB's were 2+2's

my friend told me there was a pretty nice 2+2 for sale in the Raleigh, NC area.

That's correct. Mine use to have back seats, there not very big and there's not much room back there either.

Yeah down here they're all 2+2seater.... i don't think i've seen factory 2 seater 1st/2nd gen's here(by factory i mean a 2+2 seater with taking the back seat out)



Realistally, if you have your legs still attached to your body, you wont fit in the back of one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Well, even though they're not really seats, in my 2nd gen 2+2 We did a 3 hr road trip with my friend (5'11-6') in the back seat. Main complaint he had was the Damn box that the seatbelt retracts into being jabbed in his lower back everytime I hit a bump (and Georgia roads are nothing but bumps) ofcourse he was sitting accross the seat, feet behind me and body behind the passanger seat)

is it rare to find a 2+2 in america then? or were there also high production numbers of them? is it possible to put 2+2 rear seat in one that wasnt origionally with a rear seat? sorry for all the annoyin questions, im just extremely curious bout htis stuff lol



thanks for all the info! im learning alot

only FCs came to america with factory rear seats.

a few companies made them for the FB when they were popular back in the 80s. im sure if an owner wanted too, he could have had them as an option from the dealer/factory. and some might have been imported from canada/mexico. theyre around, u just have to look.



and from what i know the bolt right in when the rear compartments are removed.

except for the seatbelts. gotta make holes.

In the UK all the FB's (which was not very many) and some FD's had them. Two small girls can fit, or one average person if he sits sideways with feet on the other side. You just take the storage compartments out and they bolt right in. You have to cut an opening in the rear plastic trim piece for the top latches to fit through. There is already an outline where you cut. You also need longer side trim pieces, shorter back carpet, and covers for the seatbelt rolls. There are actually a fair number of FB's with rear seats in the US. I think it is easier to sit back there than in a BMW 840/850 rear seat.

I read somewhere on another RX7 site I believe,that all Aus/NZ models came 2+2 and it was an option in Japan but the North American market FBs never had it available. But then,what's the point of back 'seats' in a 1st gen? The back seats in my 87 Celica are bad enough.

haha we turned rotaryxsevn's fb into a 4 seater, weve been stripping the interior and took out the behind the seat compartments and it has 2 perfect buckets and its pretty comfortable if youre short haha less weight and 2 new seats cant beat that with a stick
