yeah, hopefully we'll get pics of the seats in OUR cars soon instead of having to drool over them in other people's cars. let me know when postman sends you his pics....i'd like to see what kind of condition mine are in compared to others.

hey mike,

here's a link from MX-3.com in regards to the rims. http://www.mx-3.com/rims/rim2.jpg i'm pretty sure those are the rims he's talking about. i was thinking the same thing about our MX-3 seat thread. these guys are probably thinking "why are these two guys SO damn excited about their seats?!" we're like two kids that can't wait to open up their presents on christmas day.

i would definitely get those rims if i had a chance! i wanted a set of those awhile ago, but i couldn't find anyone around my area that was selling them. the guy that was selling those leather seats got banned from MX-3!! they found out he was a fraud. i emailed the administrator to make sure that they haven't gotten any complaints about the guy that's gonna sell the seats to me. thankfully they haven't gotten any so far. TWO presents in one week....now i know what they mean by "christmas in july".

the 5 spokes are nice too. i'm not exactly sure what the miata bbs wheels look like but i heard that they're lightweight, which is good. the MX-3 guy said he wasn't able to get the stains out, but i've been planning on having my entire interior detailed, so hopefully the stains will come out then. my dad's interior was FILTHY, and the detail place made it look awesome! i should have asked you before, but is the tan material on the seats the EXACT same color as our tan stock seats? do the MX-3 seats have the tweed texture or is it more like a velour texture?

today i called around the local junkyards to see if they had any MX-3's. i wanted to search around to check out the seats while i wait for mine to arrive. 2 of the 5 junkyards i called said they had some MX-3's, so i went to both of them. the first place had one "somewhere in the yard" but i searched for the damn thing for about 30 minutes, and i couldn't find it! then i went to the second junkyard, and when i got there, they said they didn't have any MX-3's (yet an hour early i had called and they said they did). oh well, i guess i'll have to wait for my seats to come in to drool over them.

Can you guys tell me what the year span for the MX-3 was that had these seats?? 90-94? 90-95? I'm not sure what year range to put in on the online parts search. Also, you said that they came in blue right? Are the blue ones the seats that Wil has in his car? Cause I'm not sure I'd want the red insert cause it wouldn't match the back seat....

glazed, what color is your interior? i think wil's seats look SWEET! seeing his seats was one of the reasons i went ahead and decided to actually get the MX-3 seats (i've been toying with the idea for over a year). that, and the fact that mike actually got a pic of the "holy grail" - a pic of the tan seats (i looked all over the internet for a pic of them)!!

hey mike, thanks for the junkyard link, although they gave me the name of the junkyard that i went to yesterday, i might be able to get ahold of some tan LX side view mirrors.

damn, i think i'm getting screwed on my MX-3 seats deal!!!! the guy that i sent the money order to said he received it on friday and was gonna send the seats out saturday. monday i emailed him asking when i should expect the seats, and he emailed me back saying he had just received the money order (although he had already told me he got it friday) and that he would send the seats out tuesday. i haven't heard from him since. anyone in the tulsa oklahoma area wanna kick some @$$ for me.

i called the tulsa police department (where the guy that was supposed to send me the seats lives) and they said they could charge him with fraud. i'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait another day or two, but if i don't hear from him, i'll file the police report and charge him with fraud!

titocruzsd

believe me, i've been emailing him left and right!! i just checked out mx-3.com, and it looks like i'm not the only person waiting for stuff from him. i emailed the other guy telling him to let me know if he doesn't get his stuff. if i don't get my seats, he'll have TWO charges of FRAUD against him!! i don't want to deal with all the legal crap, i just want my damn seats.

titocruzsd

i got my MX-3 seats today!!!! i warned the guy if he didn't send them out i was going to file a police report with the cyber crimes unit of the tulsa PD and charge him with fraud. the next day, he shipped them out express! he claimed he was out of town. they're pretty dirty, but i was planning on getting them steam cleaned anyhow. i should have some pics by this weekend.

mike, any luck with your MX-3 seats??
