Hey all. I am working on fitting my seat in my ITA miata and have been running into some issues. Has anyone crammed a 14" Evo 2 into a miata? If so, please tell me how. I either run into a height problem, or I can't close the door because its too wide. HELP
I had that problem in my RX8. I lowered the right (middle of car) by one spot and had plenty of room. With my setup you cant tell at all, but that may be different in your application. It should be noted that I have a different seat as well.

Most Miata racers cut out the trans tunnel to make room for the bigger/wider seats and then weld in some metal.I did one myself last winter,I cut out the material,made a template out of poster board,cut and bent the new metal,pop riveted it in place and had a friend come over and do the welding,I didn't trust my welding skills on the thin metal.A little primer and paint and it looks pretty good.
Different car, different seat. Stephen, that's most helpful....
(Sorry, I just couldn't resist. You sure that this isn't Raymond posting on your login??)
Well your post was helpfull to the OP wasn't it I was just sharing an idea that someone shared with me when I was having fitment issues!
I am wondering how we are allowed to cut out the tunnel and put in new material under the rules in IT? Is this really allowed? I wouldn't mind moving some of my weight closer to the center of the car.
