Best NSX interior I've ever seen

[BD]

lol

Believe it or not, the NSX-R Recaro Seat is "ONE SIZE FITS ALL."!!!!!

No joke. You can be 100 lbs, or 250 lbs, you will fit!! And fit comfortably. Don't believe me? Bring your pettie/fat ass over and try it out your self:biggrin:

You kiddies love to get your panties in a bunch over nothing .

You guys would have loved Steve C over at s2ki.com.

The point I am making is you guys dont have to drool over "type r" seats. Seats are seats. These are just that. The drooling gets old, really guys. The fact that these ride like crap for larger people (which I might add includes a good 60% of the US population) and by your own pictures (its what we call admission) these just will not do. I dont have to sit in that actual seat to comment on it when I have had similar seats. Sorry I dont believe in your logic.

And for a few of you, the reason why the NSX is up for sale is because the car was not up to my expectations. I expected a lot more from this car than what it is. You guys like it then so be it. I just wasnt impressed with the 05 NSX I test drove or the 91 I bought.

And most of you didnt bother to finish reading my post which is typical. I said it was a clean interior. I really dont know what you kids are crying about. I said a seat rides like crap and 10 or so of you guys that dont have these seats either come to this guys rescue. Anyway...

You have already supplied pictures of your "high and mighty" type r seat and that is evidence enough for me that it wont fit everyone regardless.:wink: :biggrin: :biggrin:

So no one knows the stock seat weight? I did a search and can't find anything.

Yet you still purchased the car...

 

[EndlessNSX]

Like I said read my other posts. I bought the 91 first then I was going to buy a 05 about a month later and was not impressed with it either. So I passed. The power was a little better and the car was more refined but still not up to my expectations. So I kept the 91 and bought an MDX for the wife and a condo for us.

Yet you still purchased the car...

Obviously you're not capible of making good judgement by looking at pictures. If fact, you can't even make good judgement by witness in person. THAT IS WHY YOU BOUGHT A OLD 91 NSX THINKING IT WILL MATCH THE 02 SPEC.

BY the way, I sent you an birthday card, addressed to Disneyland. It was returned as "unknow." Do you really live in Disneyland? Or it was just a illusion that you live in Disneyland...lol

By the way, have you change the exhaust on your car so you can at least fool people it's an 02 spec?:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

 

[EndlessNSX]

Sorry I am not into posing, unlike you. Why dont you actually buy a Type R RHD car instead of faking the funk.:tongue: :biggrin: I had to say that since you put Type R Wanna be in your sig.

I bought my car as is with all this done to it already. But you should have known that right? LOL
I test drove the 05. You did not finish reading. Go back and read my last post again instead of jumping to conclusions. You have to finish reading before you can understand, right?:biggrin: I love it when people assume they know someone when they dont.

Hey I like Disneyland. Dont you?

I sent you a PM BTW.

You are not into posing, but have a 1991 nsx dressed up to look like a 2002+ nsx?

Your story doesn't wash, you buy a 1991 to drive around for a month, while you wait for a 2005? Why not just buy the 2005, and save the hassle of looking for, buying, then selling the 1991? Sounds like someone can't afford the 2005, and can't even afford the 1991, much less make rational decisions about rims and seat selection.

 

[EndlessNSX]

Now think this through before you ask another question. I bought the 91 since I thought it would be a great car and having always wanted one. The conversion came with the car. Didnt you know that? So I went for it. Its a good car but far from what I expected. Its not the end of the world. Right?

Your reading to much into this. Its very easy. I have owned the car 6 months, far from 30 days and it just didnt do it for me. Thats all. This thread was about interiors not about my car or your car or whatever.

And your assuming again. Since you dont know me how can you judge what I can and cant afford? Simple answer, you cant. :wink:

I like the NSX but its just not what I expected. No big deal. Thats me, not you, or the next guy.

This thread was about interior not about me. I said I dont like it then we had a handful of you guys start crying over someones opinion on the internet. So what. Move on please...

 

[ediddynsx]

Ok now everyone kiss and make up and come out to starbucks tonite! :biggrin:

 

[nsxsupra]

I am not taking sides, just my true honest 3rd person opinion.

It is easy to make an assumption. In some cases assumption is ignorance. I would not believe it either if I had not experienced these seats in person. I too have tried many different bucket seats, non of them are anywhere near as comfortable.

Attend the meet and test sit in these, jaw drop, debate is over.

Vance had status seats prior to the type r seats, he never mentioned those were comfortable. 3 different NSX owners who actually own these seats have gave honest feedbacks in this thread. Why is it so hard to believe someone who actually have first hand experience? They got nothing to gain.

The type R seat offer generous shoulder/wrist room. Take a look, its not as deep as other bucket seats, very roomy. The comfort level is same as oem leather seats. At 6' 2" 220lbs. You will find these very comfortable and offer generous shoulder room, almost tailored for your size. Please prove me wrong by test sitting in these.:smile:

Man...funny how this thread turned into a pissing contest.

My question is what is the difference between S-type and R-type seats, except the obvious price difference? Is the padding different or just the cover? Would they have the same comfort level of the R seat? And where can you order the appropriate seat belt buckle?

BTW,(This is not directed at any one individual) making assumptions about what others can and cannot afford is tacky. However making assumptions about something that one has never experienced is pointless. If someone wants something and has the means to get it then it is no one's business. There is no right or wrong way to mod your car. Taste is always subjective and usually one who insults or looks down on someone for the car they purchased, or the way they mod their car, or the cloths they wear, house, lifestlye, etc... is usually compensating for a short coming in their own lives. I am not taking sides, especially since I have seen crappy behavior coming from both.

Can't we all just get along?

Type S and Type R seats uses the same shell. The only difference is Type R uses fabric and Type S uses leather seat cover. Paddings are the same.

In fact, the JDM MSRP is the same between the two.

Follow some EndlessNSX posts, you will find that practically every thing he commented are either negative or assumptions with stuff he have never experienced. Check them out.

Oh so you could jump and anwser my mans questions ,but left me hanging

Are you talking about the seat weight?

i didn't get to weight the seat when it was in my hand. I know you save about 20-25 lbs per seat. In fact, the seat rails is much heavier than the seat it self.

Okay so you saved about 40-50lbs with the seats. About how much does your NSX weigh now? I ask because I'm looking to see what's the best way to save weight.

 

[Herblenny]

I don't know much about these seats but I have OEM recaros for RX7s (came out of RX7 model called Spirit R). When I contacted Recaro USA, they told me that Mazda owns the pattern of the covers and the shape of the seat. I'm guessing its the same with these seats.

Recarding weight, my carbon kevlar recaros weigh around 10lbs without the rail. Im guess these will be around the same weight, maybe slightly more seeing it seems to be larger.

Stock T is about 3150lbs.

By replacing the JDM NSX R Parts
I saved;
Wheels -12 lbs
T Shell Cover - -25 lbs
Ti Exauset w/o cats -70 lbs
Seats 50 lbs
CF Spoiler & Hood -15 lbs
Remove spare tire -31 lbs (approx)
Steering Wheel/Air Bag -12 lbs (was a typo at 20lbs)

My car is lighter than the Zanardi edition. It weight approximately 2927 lbs. For being a "T" model, it's pertty good.

If I drive without "T", I can save another 27 lbs!!! That should bring the weight down to 2900lbs :biggrin:

If you buy a fully equiped Type R in Japan (with A/C, stereo, Air Bags), it is about about 2900 lbs.

 

[scorp965]

We should find a scale, and have a 'weigh-in' day, sort of like a dyno day, to get corner weights for our cars... it would be interesting to see how accurate the weight reduction numbers are...

I have a '94 coupe, stock weight of 3069lbs according to the FAQ

wheels -12.0lbs
exhaust -12.0lbs
cats -22.0lbs
stereo/cd changer ~5.0lbs
hood ~10.0lbs
battery/mount (PC680) -30.0lbs
spare/bracket -32.4lbs
tool kit -15.0lbs
steering wheel - 5lbs
engine cover -15.0lbs

-158.4lbs

= 2910.6lbs

Your numbers keep changing, this is why we should have a 'weigh in' day ;-)

the steering wheel/airbag are 20lbs? I never had a chance to weigh them personally, but the weight differential doesn't seem that great - a smaller diameter, certainly (at least in my case), no airbag, a few lbs, but 20?

Is there an alignment shop with corner scales, perhaps we can arrange a special price for weigh-in only, no corner balancing, and have 10 cars or so 'hit the scales' - it would also help to verify the weight is being removed evenly, instead of from one area more so than other areas - not that it would matter, for the driving most of us do, but it would certainly produce a 'warm & fuzzy' feeling if the weight reduction is more or less uniform.

:biggrin: I am interested in the weight in day as well

92 starting weight 3010lbs

Weight added:
CTSC +60lbs
Spacers +6lbs

Weight removed:
oem spare/tool kit -40lbs
engine cover -15lbs
Taitec GTLW -25lbs
Headers -12lbs
OEM intake manifold assembly/alternator/etc -45lbs
LE28N 17/17 wheels -16lbs
Tein S Tech springs -5lbs
Bilstein shocks - ?lbs
Toyo T1-R lightweight tires -15lbs
------------------------2903lbs
Shaving weight is much tougher than I thought, all these effort only net me -100lbs:frown:

Jeeze John, I ment 12 lbs. Don't forget, by replacing the OEM steering wheel/AB, with momo hub and Momo R wheel, the weight saving is significant. You have a pertty heavy quick release on your car

Yeah, like to weigh my car too. I like to have the actual number my self. I have spend half a day clear out my trunk!!!!

HOW THE HELL DID WE GO FROM "BEST INTERIOR" TO "WEIGHT CONTEST" LOL

i didn't get to weight the seat when it was in my hand. I know you save about 20-25 lbs per seat. In fact, the seat rails is much heavier than the seat it self.

I weighted mine on bathroom scale, it is about 6kg for the NSXR recaro and the taitec rail is about 6kg too.
