Hey guys! I ran into a buddy of mine that owns a Speed 3 and is currently in the process of sending it to jamaica. He offered me the speed seats but I have no clue whether they would fit perfectly in my regular 3? Does anyone know if this would work? :dunno: Thanks

I have an 04 Mzd3 would the airbag connection or mounting rails be an issue with the speed seats?

The rails will line up fine. You will however need to replace the belt buckle on the side of the seat with the one from your old seats. There will be a minor modification you will need to make to the speed seats where the current buckle is located to accomadate your old buckle. I don't have any pictures of the piece you need to trim, but it's a tiny little steel nub that you will need to dremel off, you'll know what I'm talking about when you remove the speed buckle. I have a semi decent explination here that may help you. I spent a couple weeks trying to figure this, so I'm trying to save headaches, lol!!

Sorry for no pics of the install, but if you click my sig, you can see I have them installed. If you need anymore help when you do this, just PM me and I'll send you my number to walk you through it.

Kool. Thanks alot dugger..... Im not sure when I will get a hold of them but as soon as I do I'll go through your walkthrough and try and solve it out.

maybe your model was different I put the speed seats in without any modifications. It was a 100% fit. Very easy four bolts plus the airbag connection which was exactly the same. No hassle at all, those seats are great dont think twice about getting them.

I don't have side air bags so I got an air bag light. It is a direct fit, just what I had to do so I could pass vehicle inspection and get rid of an annoying light.

edit: Plus the 04-05 belt buckle is a different design, at least for non side air bag cars. 06+ non side air bag cars have the same buckle, but I'm not sure about the harness being the same. If you do have side air bags and it's 06+, you suck and have an easy install.

 

[kaczus00]

yeah I had side airbags so it was perfect

They're some speed seats (complete) on eBay for dirt cheap.
