Ditto; I really want the same in dark grey facelift, but apparently they don't make them :'(
I've got the dark grey Elite leather and I'd love the sport shaped front seats (I'd get them built with memory in the base)

Cheers Fellas :y
Im suprised that these seats are alot firmer than the standard Elite seats and you tend to sit on the rather than in them, still, probably take some time to get used to them.
-
Pete.
I ahve the exact same seats fitted into my Elite (they came as a standard option from new) and when I first bought the car I almost decided to get rid of them and revert to the standard leather .Your description of sitting on them as opposed to in them is spot-on.It took me about 2/3 months to convince myself they were okay ..now I find them great and very comfy..slight downside is they get very/very hot in the summer as the colour soaks up the heat,and very very very cold in the winter.My passenger side heater works but takes a while to warm up..drivers side doesn,t but I have a new seat pad to get fitted when I can afford the cost of the upholsterer stripping the whole lot down and re-stitching the leather back after..was quoted £140=00 before Christmas but still saving up.
Just for my info do both yours heat up? and if so are they fairly quick or slow like my passenger side.Andrew
-
Both the heated seats are not working on mine, but I intend to get aftermarket heat pads and slip them in between the seat pad and leather ;)
-
Pete.
Perhaps you could let me know what type of aftermarket heater pad you intend to use and how they would fit inside the existing as saves a lot of effort and cost not having to strip it all out.
Also they may heat up a bit quicker !!

Hi Andrew
I am going to use these
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=370006690942&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=024
and just slide them between the foam and leather from the rear of the seat ;)
-
Thanks Pete.
They look like a very good idea and are a lot cheaper than having to pull all the seat apart.
Do you intend to use all the wiring and their own relays and just connect them up to the original dash switches as I see they have a 2 heat setting so expect will require usage of their own switch and relays.Perhaps we could compare notes when we buy them as think you have solved my problems more cost effectively.

Pete, those seats look the biz 8-) :y

I used the car for work yesterday (about 100 mile round trip) and because the seats are so narrow and the pedals are offset the clutch pedal is in the middle of the seat. Probably not a problem for the autos though, now where did I put my old seats ::)

If you do want to change back mate, and provided no one else has approached you, I would be interested in the sports seats. Give me a shout if you do want to sell them.

Looks sweet Pete!!! Mine's got a wooden gear knob from a cdx veccy but recently got outbid on the irmy one like yours 'cos i was'nt home at auction end. It went for £21 new in all packaging.
What do you reckon i should pay?, Guy. :y
-

No worries bud. The seats in my RX8 are pretty narrow but you do get used to them.
