Default Infini seat dimensions

Just trying to work something out in my head at the moment, and need to know the dimensions of an Infini (apologies if I've spelt it wrong) bucket seat. Simple question if anyone has one. Would be much appreciated if anyone can help me out

Dunno what you're looking for, but you lose a lot of headspace with the Infini seats.
They are not comfortable for anyone taller than 5'6".

Really? I'm about 5'10". So the Infini wasn't a great car for anyone over that height, comfort-wise?

The problem is that the right-hand side seat is the driver's seat in Japan.
That seat has a tilt adjuster on it.

I dunno if that tilt adjuster can be swapped - I never bothered.

Is yours right hand drive?
I forgot you're in the UK?

Anyways, for us US owners, the left-hand seat isn't adjustable, so it's pretty uncomfortable.

Anyways, you lose headroom versus any of the other stock FC seats.
I'd say you lose at least 2" of headroom - the Infini seats are taller in the seat cushion.

I'm in Japan, but from the UK originally. Cheers for the info on the seat anyway. Good job I might have a full pair of Infini seats available (see my classifieds threads)
