    Default FS: Lotus Elise seats

    I got these for the Miata, but my wife didn't like that the back wasn't adjustable (so she could see over the dash ).

    Both driver and passenger seat with pump lumbar support. Black, non-probax. They have added cushion in them from the previous owner (some sort of fancy foam that all the Lotus guys are doing).

    They are comfy, super light and have taller head rests (which I found to be nicer than my NB seats). If you want to mount them to the floor you'll gain a TON of headroom (and I found the seating position to be quite nice. If you mount them to the rails you pick up at least 1-2" of leg room.

    Selling for what I paid, $380.

    I also have the sector 111 seat grommets for adding harness holes (http://www.sector111.com/images/prod...s/seatgrom.jpg) that I'll sell for $50 ($72). They're still in the box.

    I'll include the bolted together setup I made to play with, but I recommend that you at the very least weld it rather than bolt it together.

    Only thing I'm really interested in is a rollbar.

    Pic of the seats (they are the two in the back, the pic is from the guy I bought them from, he had two pairs):

    Are you saying you already have the hardware to mount these straight to the floor? (I am looking for seats that put me under my HDHCHT)

    Do they hold a skinny guy well?

    TIA

    I have enough to get you close on the driver's side but you'll need some angle iron (the piece I cut was for mounting to the rails so it's too short). I didn't do anything for the passenger side.

    Joseph's pretty skinny Otherwise I'm not sure. I've not been skinny since... well never.

    Sean, these are some nice seats. I would have bought these in a heart beat if I had sold my Memoryfab seat.

    I do have a Hard Dog Dual Diagonal roll bar on my MSM(Which I am selling) but doubt I am going to remove the roll bar since it is a hassle, plus I had already but up the panels and carpet to fit the roll bar.

    lol I had that same picture, but didn't post it :)

    Up until a few months ago I was a 36" going on 38" waist and I was fine. Everyone is built different. Most of the people using them are bigger guys though. They were far more comfortable than my current foamectomy stock 00 seats.

    I think these would work great for someone that is a 36ish waist, I'm a 31 and I move around the seats a bit without a CG lock.
