    OK here's the situation. I have a tiny little car and I need a sport seat.

    The car is a Fiat 850 sedan Photobucket

    The interior is a bit smaller than the outside (as you might expect) and pretty spartan. Very plain 60's style Photobucket

    So the seat needs to be pretty narrow to fit in there. The aftermarket racing seat I have now (not in the pic) presses against the door, hits the shifter and is intolerable. I dont want the seat to look too out of place so something classic styled is a big plus.

    Oh and one thing. I absolutley hate the look of a modern racing seat when I see this I think of this

    Of course I thought of Miata but around here they just dont get parted out and wrecking yards want $150 each. I dont mind paying good money for good seats but I think I can do better.

    I don't know where you can find a seat, but I did vote you up over at Readers' Rides. That car rocks.

    I do like the corbeau classic and it is realativley common which means there should be some on the used market

    After seeing these seats everything else just looks clunky Stratospheric prices though.
