I picked up two Miata seats for $30 yesterday and the inital fitment looks good (pics this evening). The seats are a bit wide for the back pad and a few inches taller than the 914 seats, but they are very comfortable and I am not too tall. I am fighting a moral issue of changing the seats to Mazda seats, but if i go through with this I will keep the original seats.
So, has any one put one (or two) in thier 914? How did you adapt the seat rails? I dont want to drill through the floor pan if I can avoid it, so I will try and adapt to the 914 rail. Any pictures to share? I also would like to see some pictures of carpeted firewalls. |

stock seat rails will make the seat sit higher than teh mazda rails. dont worry about four holes on the floor, they can be patched up if you ever want to go original again.
one thing is my del sol seats have soul baby!!!!! but really no sweat, the holes wiont harm your car any more than teh big motor, aftermarket swat bar, poly bushings, and monoballs, oh and lest we forget that crazy six mount you have in there that would be near impossible to turn back to original without major effort. come on by and check out the del sol seat for fit when you can. later gator |
