    I bought these for the miata but they don't fit. :eek:wned:
    They are fiberglass and have 5 harness holes.
    They are from 95 but in super nice condition, not used much.
    Comes with sliders for a 944 but could maybe be adapted to other vehicles.

    $375

    They don't fit a Miata? I've got Sparco Evo2's that fit snugly in the Fairlady roadster, and from what I can tell, they are about the same size car.

    I don't know for sure but the seats are lower than some it may work.???? I was planning on running a 5pt so I didn't really worry about that. The buckles would have to bolt to the car, not the seat, if thats what you were wondering. There are mounting holes on the side for the side mount, the previous owner had a buckle mounted there but imo that's a bad idea.

    Are you saying you want to trade or......???

    NEVER attach seat belts to the seat. I know that the Subies have the inside buckles on the seat frame but that is the stock set up so it's OK. Aftermarket seats are designed for use with racing harnesses. If you have seats with belt holes, you must use racing harnesses.

    No, I'm saying "try harder."

    Here is the problem. In this case, "trying harder" would involve some cutting.
    The way the seat is molded in the front interferes with a raised portion in floor of the miata not allowing the front of the seat to sit low enough. Tipping it back would help but then it interferes with the rollbar. If I mounted it all the way back, behind the hump, and on the floor my head would be next to the rollbar which would be unacceptable IMO. I'm really disappointed they don't fit since they are really nice seats and definitely a good deal.

    That sucks man. Doesn't Sparco make seat sliders for miatas? Just tossing out ideas because those are pretty nice seats, I'd hate to see you have to sell them.
