They've got a Spec Miata seat and a "Fat"... er, I mean, "Big Boy" seat as well.
They're located out in Flint... about 115 or so miles south/east of Dallas. Anyone care to ride with me down there this week? I've absolutely got to test fit these seats.
I would think the key thing to look at is will the seat in question fit in the tight confines of Miata. It is kind of narrow as compared to a Camaro. :P
True... but they make a rather wide Spec Miata seat... but still, I would prefer testing my feelers in these seats!
Have you thought about doing the foam-ectomy procedures to your seat? You might be surprised, especially with the side bolster improvement. Either that or eat a salad (3 bean) once in a while! :P
Have you seen the size of his ***? I was thinking the seat-ectomy was a good idea... Actually... I kinda liked it myself on the passenger side.Quote:

Big difference. :wink:
Well did you get a Seat yet 3bean???
The spec 18" seat runs $199. For 50 more they're building me a custom seat. Something about how the trans tunnel bumps into the seat bottom. It should be nice! I hope they get done with it soon!Quote:

Nobody?
I am not going to be able to go down there. But I would love to hear how it works out. I am looking at Momo T-frames right now, but these look a little cheaper.
Some of us have to work on Friday morning!
I'd love to see it after you get it installed. :D
