Competition seats for the RX-7Which bucket seat for a Mazda RX-7 2nd Gen
The Cobra Monaco Sport GT at £224.17 is the practical starting point for a track day car. If you want FIA approval on a budget, the OMP Champ-R at £318 is well judged for the money. For an RX-7 built properly for competition, the Sparco QRT-R Fibreglass at £544 is the strongest option here.
Reclining sport seats
The Sparco R100 at £235 and Auto Style Type AK at £235 are the accessible starting points. The Auto Style Type BS5 at £295 and Sparco R333 at £374.56 sit a step up, keeping more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.

💬
Roll cage tier for the RX-7Which roll cage for a Mazda RX-7 2nd Gen
The Custom Cages Multipoint CDS kit at £1131.60 is the more accessible of the two, a proper multipoint cage without the weight of a full T45 build. The Multipoint T45 kit at £1509.72 is the step up for a car being campaigned seriously, with the added strength T45 tube gives over CDS.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a caged RX-7 going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Is "2nd Gen" the same as "Mk2" for this car?
Yes. Different suppliers use different naming, but both refer to the FC, 1985 to 1992.
Which roll cage should I choose?
The Multipoint CDS kit at £1131.60 is the more accessible option. The Multipoint T45 kit at £1509.72 is the step up for a car being campaigned seriously.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first.
Should I choose a competition bucket or a reclining seat?
A competition bucket holds you better through a corner but is harder to live with day to day. A reclining seat keeps more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.
