I'm in search for seats that will work with my mazdaspeed NRA rollcage.
I have noticed there are alot of scattered "does anyone have this or that seat"
So, why not create a seat thread?
Give us all the info, ie.
What seat(s) i have/had: What rails i have/had: What build it fits: Price:
and a picture.
I'll start
What seat(s) i have/had: 2 sparco sprints, mazdaspeed, Stock presently. What rails i had: Sparcos went on stock rails, mazdaspeed had bride rails. What build it fits: sprint - bigger build, i'm 185cm and 90kg, fit snug, mazdaspeed, smaller build, i barely fit in the thing. Price: Sprints can be had at $250 AUD, mazdaspeed i got for $400 AUD with rails.
What seat(s) i have/had: memory fab s68 What rails i have/had:memoryfab "super low rails" What build it fits: I'm around 5' 10" & 275....I can SQUEEZE my big ass into it....barely LOL Price: around 625 + shipping/tax (new) for the same setup
I was looking at the first pic...that's the mazdaspeed in the passenger area isn't it?
Anyway: What seat(s) i have/had: Lotus elise What rails i have/had:custom fixed brackets What build it fits: 6'2", 250, and I still fit totally comfortably, easy to get in/out of also. Price: 600shipped for the pair. Another 200 or so for the brackets.
What seat(s) i have: Custom Retro I call "Nakamura Ako" What rails i have: Corbeau bottom mount (direct bolt on) What build it fits: Darkdrifters...nuff said Price: approx $600 for both seats and rails
What seat(s) i have/had: Corbeau, Recaro SPG Profi, Bride Zeta III type L What rails i have/had: Corbeau Rails, Miata Rails /w brackets for Recaro, Custom L brackets bolting Recaro to the floor, and Bride LR Rails ? What build it fits: Recaro SPG-Profi = 30-34" Slender Build. Bride Zeta III Type L 34-36" Waist, I'm 6'1" Slender Build and have a ghetto booty (girl im dating tells me this....) Fits well, a little difficult to get in and out of the car... definitely need a removable steering wheel. Leg bolsters are high, but knee bolsters are low. Price: $700+ for the seat ? I don't remember what i paid. Rails came with the car.
Haigog where'd you get your seats? I saw a clamshell hinge install on an Elise and when I saw the seats I couldn't believe how thin they were! I then googled/ebay'd for them and couldn't find squat... Do you have to just get lucky?
What seat(s) i have/had: Recaro SPG, Bride Zeta III, Bride Gias What rails i have/had: Bride Rails, Recaro Rails What build it fits: SPG and Zeta III hits the door panel. The Zeta III really badly. Even with the door panel off it still touches a bit. Both Bride and Recaro rails sit way too high.

Check the elise seats thread... they pop up on elisetalk.com all the time. Elise guys upgrade to Exige seats or racing buckets and sell them off. They're the ideal Miata street seat... they're just a pain to mount...
What seat(s) i have/had: Sparco sprint 5 in black What rails i have/had: No rails ... wil custom mount it to the floor What build it fits: Im 6'1" 155 andi fit perfectly and my buddy who's 38" waist fit perfetly in it too! Price: 375CAD
Pics coming soon when it'll be mounted, it his now sitting on my floor Using it as a TV chair
search some recent threads... I posted a link to a Japanese site with detailed pics of how the Gias fits in an NB.

I have done a search, the cage in the red nb is almost (if not the same) as mine, however mine has a harness mount on the middle points, whereas his is on the seat belt tower.
What seat(s) i have/had: Mazdaspeed Sports seats What rails i have/had: No idea, came with them What build it fits: Im 5'9" and 55kg and if anything it's a little big.
What seat(s) i have/had: S1? Lotus Elise. What rails i have/had: Homemade, non sliding. What build it fits: Im 5' 11" 16stone and theres still room for more Price: £100 all in for both
This is the rubber that the side window glides in when going up and down.
I have changed wires, and the regulator but the window still dont run up and down.
When trying try to slide the window up and down it's get stuck in front in the rubber....
Also the regulator runs up and down nice without...
is there a roll bar thread in this forum? I've searched but did find one. please post your roll bar. thanksZ. does anyone have pictures of bsp roll bars?
Has anyone else toyed around with sound deadener in their Miata? I grabbed some dynamat-alternative stuff and coated as much of the outer door skin as I could reach and effectively replaced the vapor barrier with it. I have yet to finish the driver's door but the passenger door sounds far more...
I swear I saw a picture of an Audi TT shift boot in a Miata but I can find the thread. If you have done something like this in your ride show me your picture. I think I am going to adapt one in my ride. Thanks!!
I was made aware of DanDak LED lights, DanDak sequential , by another forum member and really liked his products and the one that I wanted to get sooner than later was the LED 3rd brake light which I got a custom version but more on that in another thread.
Dan also offers a really nice interior...
