First of I'm 6'7" and i just sat in an NA yesterday... I think i can make it work!!! I'm confident that i could drive the car around as is but would benefit greatly from some aftermarket seating... Does anyone know if Bride makes their Super Low Max line for Miatas? I was originally going to get an S2000 but figure this is more my style... and here's why...

I'm planning a new project. Having always loved JDM styling and pretty much anything that isn't available over here I want to build a Miata. JDM interior and exterior but with a twist on the drivetrain... I want to run a 5.0 Mustang V8. All the style of Japan with the torque and brute power of the states...

I was originally going to make the exterior a british theme since my inspiration comes from a Shelby Cobra Replica project i was working on last summer... but I think JDM is the way to go...

What do you guys think? Any suggestions on the direction i should take (styling wise) would be neat to hear...

Thanks

i think you may want to look into axis power seats, they aren't jdm but from whath i have seen you sit really low in the car.

dang 6'7 thats tall hehe. im only 5'10 and i feel big in my NA. anyways as far as styling might wanna look into some road&ster books. also someone linked this before but i bookmarked it and check it out every now and then, just alot of pics of roadster mods. http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/sets/72057594113103622/ . can always just check the album, and the forum in general has alot of useful info.

Damn 6'7 is freakin tall. I thought I was big for a miata and I'm only 6'2. To answer your question yes, bride does make the vios lll low max bucket for the miata. Brides website is www.tees-usa.com I had always planned on getting that seat but I found out that they only make them in buckskin. I'm thinking that I'm just going to go with the recaro spg and bolt it right on the floor. I'm pretty sure you bolt pretty much any aftermarket bucket right on the floor so don't just limit yourself to the low max system seats.

hey man i got my car from a guy who was 6'5". he just had sparco speeds bolted to the floor. i'm 6'1" and am using the same low setup, plenty of room and i love the clearance above my head, with a helmet on there is still 4-5 inches aboce my head before the rollbar.
