By chance were you driving to go see the new Barbie movie? How was it?
Funny... i was again in my girlfriends car with her saftey equipment. I was instructing this day so i didn't have any of my saftey equipment or car other than my white helmet
Model: NRG FRP-330 Stree/Track Comfort Style Bucket Seat (Medium) Black
Brand: NRG
Size of seat: ~19 inches wide
Side or bottom mount: Side mount (but I have my drilled/bolted through the bottom of the seat and into the floor pan directly
Adjustable or fixed rails: Fixed
Rail model: n/a
Driver height & weight: 6'3" 250lbs
Fit in car: Just barely. Pushed back into the seat "bucket" area of an NB, the shoulder wings don't require anything to be removed from the door panels. If you move it forward because you are shorter you will. I also have it bolted directly to the floor pan drop I have installed to remove the height of the side brackets.
Driver fit : For me at 250, I fit comfortably for track sessions and can last in the car for up to 2 hours on the highway before I need a break. The seating position is just fine with some spacers on the front bolts to lift it up about 1.5" to create recline. I also needed a floor pan drop and M2 from hard dog to easily clear the broomstick test with a helmet. Lastly, I have an after market 320mm (30mm smaller than normal) on a quick release hub to give my knees room. For track days, I remove all removable padding. For street driving, I leave the padding in and it is surprisingly comfortable.

Model: X-Pad Brand: Sabelt Size of seat: 600mm shoulder wings, 362mm internal hip, 447 internal shoulders. Size chart below. Side or bottom mount: Side mount Adjustable or fixed rails: Sliders Rail model: Honestly don't know, sorry Driver height & weight: 5'9"~73kg/160lbs Fit in car: Fits with cage and floor drop. Outside shoulder wing is right up against the chassis, but no trimming of seat or car required. I have it mounted on sliders with the seat reclined as much as possible. I also have fiberglass CCP doors so there isn't anything to hit there, I can't comment on stock door fitment. Driver fit: A little loose; I could use a slightly tighter internal waist area. I believe I can tune this with some additional seat padding if required. I wear between 30-32 pants with a ~32" inseam. My road bike has a frame reach of 387mm with a 120mm stem, and I use a 720mm saddle height if that provides any additional information.

Model: MOMO SuperCup (driver) MOMO Start (passenger) Size of seat: Standard Side or bottom mount: Planted Seat brackets, side mount Adjustable or fixed rails: Fixed
Rail model: Planted Seat Mounts (side) Fun fact, i used driver side brackets on Passenger side and Passenger side brackets on Driver side. They are identical even though there are different part numbers for each side on the NB Driver height & weight: 180-190lbs 6 ft tall Fit in car: Massaging of the trans tunnel. Door card contact on both doors, Driver door card less than Passenger door card
Driver fit : I fit well. SuperCup is surprisingly comfy, fits me well. Start...not so much. pinches me at mid ribcage. luckily its in the passenger side Link to seat or source: SuperCup / Start
Link to rail or source: Planted Seat bracket (side) Certifications: FIA approved Construction: Fiberglass When i installed these the SuperCup/Driver is in the further position rearward and the most reclined. its comfortable compared to the Sparco Sprint. I had to use large head (more flat) bolts, no washers, to get the seat as low as possible without the seat contacting the rail or factory bolt heads. You can see in the picture below where i modified the bracket to get it to sit properly. obviously The transmission tunnel needed massaging with a hammer and 2x4 to make the seat sit straight. The seat does come in contact quite a bit with the driver door card. The Start/Passenger was pretty straight forward. copied the driver install. I did not have to modify/cut the planted seat brackets at all for this one. slight upper transmission tunnel massage needed. This seat sits the furtherst bolt hole back and 1 hole up (less reclined) compared to driver side. This allowed the seat to sit right in the crevis of the door card and interior rear side panel. Seat still comes in contact with the passenger door card HARD Modified seat brackets to get the supercup to sit in the furthest hole back in the brackets The fit very well and centered
good to know your first hand experience. However I recently found a guy local to me. But about 2 hours North who has a Momo start seat in his Miata. Had no problems at all mounting it in his car. It is touching at the transmission tunnel. Just needed slight massaging with a hammer but other than that plenty of room. And by looking at the seat sizing of the start versus the super cup. Again they are nearly identical except the seat bottoms themselves. Which is a little bit longer and a little bit wider on the Momo start versus the super cup I have attached a few of the images he sent me with the Momo start seat. I should also note that he told me he's using planted seat mounts
