Yes, planning to upgrade it in the near future now that I've found a seat that works for me.

​​​​​​​Cool, at least you know not to use them long term.

Brandon at Iron Alterations! My other option is take the shield with me to Charlotte this weekend and make Biz do it for me :)

Correct, I am only planning on running the Momo seat for autocross days as well. It's comfy, but still not DD comfy.

On another topic, what are people's thoughts on running the stock seat and seatbelt without an airbag? I know that the Miata seatbelt has a breakaway section in the stock seatbelt in case of an accident. I know that some people unstitch the breakaway section when not using an airbag.

@Shibby has taken the stitches out of his also on the account that he is running sans airbag and has advised me to do the same. Another thing to stack onto the list.

Probably not a good idea? Not sure. Seems kinda sketch.

4 points fine for auto-x. I run just the lap belt from a 4 point harness in my car, passenger gets a lap belt from a golf cart because its super light.

Stock belt with no airback you just want to take the stitches out and move the plastic buckle stop further down the belt.

I have racequip 5 points, cheap and safer than 4 points. It is literally a 4 point with a crotch strap drilled through the floor though, I would say just buy the strap but those harnesses look way out of date.

I have decided to post my car for sale, if anyone is interested. https://www.miataturbo.net/cars-sale...3/#post1445832

You're familiar with the replacement car though!

psyber_0ptix 10-15-2017 07:29 PM

He likely means that you know the owner and/or the car given what I know about his plans!

Leach0789 02-12-2018 10:04 AM
The car has been sold :( On to the next Miata!

ridethecliche 02-12-2018 10:53 AM
Did you grab the one you'd originally set out to buy? PICSSSS!

1997, 90k miles, stock drivetrain with a Torsen, never seen anywhere North of South Carolina. It's still down there, I just have to go get it.

As long as the car hasn't spent too much time near the ocean, I think you're going to appreciate how ridiculously clean and rust free the cars can be from "down here".
