It is on sliders and uses the stock mounting points?

$1000 for a seat? Crazy. Did you buy 2, or use something cheaper for the passenger side?

Thanks for the seat suggest! I'm going to try that out. I tried again with no seat and my back slightly reclined, and it looks like if I add >1 inch of height via the LX1 seat I could clear.

Marrad seat for you. Designed for miatas, includes brackets, has slider. Works with 6pt harness. FTW. I have one, it is *much more comfortable* than my stock 01 foamectomied seat with the cushions in, and works well for track/autocross. It is somewhat expensive, but it is comfortable, it works, and it is designed specifically to fit into NB miatas.
For reference, I am 6'2, 34" inseam, 32" waist. I pass the broomstick test with a helmet with my Hard Dog M2 Hardcore Hardtop rollbar. Marrad miata seat at Goodwin Racing. Edit: it is not the least expensive option out there. But it works - it's comfortable, gets you as low as you can get, accepts harnesses, works with 3pt stock belts. Whoa- where does the crotch strap go on the Marrad seat??? I might end up getting one for my drivers' side and then moving the crappy sparco sprint V over to the passenger side. |

You'll spend that for any other seat of comparable quality (I did).

I did that too. Then I realized I'd made a horrible mistake and wasted $130 (depreciation on the $180 piece of shit I bought the first time around).

You need a taller roll bar.

Smaller steering wheel and sit closer. I'm 6'1 with a ~31" inseam and I had to get a hard dog hardcore m2 non rollbar to fit under. I have an ultrashield bolted to the floor.
Richard is leggy compared to me. |
Why did the lotus seats not work? They get pretty low I thought.

Marrad's are rad. I've had one for years. I have the old version with no side harness holes. The new ones with side harness holes are freaking awesome. They also have a center hole for a crotch strap for the person who asked earlier. The lower cushion is in two pieces and you can run the crotch strap with or without the cushions in.

fine.
I broke down and bought one. It's probably going to turn out to be an excellent decision. Coming soon to a for sale section near you: Sparco Sprint V + PCI bracket |
^I think I'm sold on the Marrad as well...:burncash::burncash::burncash::burncash::bu rncash::burncash:

I think you'll find the Marrad seat very comfortable. When using the harness I take out all three cushions. On the street with the stock 3point belt I leave all three cushions in and it's very comfy.
If you find you need a little something with the pads out these work well, and won't really add to your seat height any: Memory foam pads. That's the real stuff, dense and comfortable. |
When I Google Marrad seats I get this site; http://www.arizenracingsports.com/default.asp. is this legit? 'cause the price seems way cheap ($499 vs $999 from Goodwin).
