Does anyone know how many second gens came with back seats? The car I have is a 2 seater but I would really prefer to have a 2+2, since I have a little boy. Is it possible to swap all the interior parts from a 2+2 into a 2 seater, and are they really hard to come by?

The parts are around, just have to look a little. He'd better be small though, because there's not a lot of leg room. Check the For Sale section of forums.

He is pretty small, he's 2. And I can't post a wanted ad yet on the For Sale section cuz I don't have 15 posts yet.

You can also check the for sale listings on rx7club.com, I've seen a few there before. Swap shouldn't be that hard once you have the parts.

yeah its a very simple bolt in. finding the seats in the right color/fabric is the tough part

I've been looking and still not coming up with much....LOL I wonder how legal it would be to strap a car seat into the back...

ya... strapping a car seat in the back and compromising the safety of your child sounds like an excellent idea. not.

haha.......yea, put your son at risk cuz you wanna drive an RX7.

This is why my next car must have a back seat. I would not make a rig to have him sit in the back without proper, legal safety straps. I suggest getting a 2nd car to drive daily.

yeah it isnt very hard to swap the rear seats in. ive installed them on my t2.



sometimes tracking down a set can be somewhat tricky, u will need at least the top and bottom of the seats, the seatbelts, and the two u brackest that attach to the shock tower ( to lock the seats in up position. Then u may want the small carpet peice that goes infront below the seats hanging down. and behind. Also posibly the shock tower carpets.



or u can cut holes in the shock tower carpet for hte u brackets to come out of. And just cut your old carpet to fit in the front.
