Guys, what is the best website to find used racing seat? I am looking for one for NA Miata. Thanks.

I've got one... but I'm up in Ontario. Dunno if you want to ship. It's a Kirkey, for a fairly small size butt.

I got a used Momo FIA seat on Ebay out of a Porsche Cup car locally for a great deal. Keep your eyes open and one will pop up...

Craigslist, join your local SCCA forum (if available), check local NASA forums (if available), eBay, Miata forums, etc.

I picked up a fresh but out-of-the-wrapper Sparco Evo for $200 on craigslist. That was daily checks for a couple weeks, though.

I picked up all three of my race seats through ebay and CL. They all showed up when I shouldn't afford them too.

Thanks for the ideas guys, I guess I'll keep an eye on CL, ebay and all the usual forums. I got the car from a classified on Miata.net. Is there any specific model that will or will not an NA Miata?

Lesley: I am looking for something more comfortable than a Kirkey. Thanks though.

Miatas are pretty small inside, so you'll definitely want to make sure the one you find fits.

Sparco Speed seems to be fairly popular amongst the track day crowd.

Yup, you'll need a pretty narrow seat to fit an NA. Don't forget that depending on the way they're mounted, you might end up sitting a little higher than in the standard seat unless you bolt the seats right to the floor.

The Sparco Speed is a bottom mount seat (tricky, but do-able) and it doesn't have a hole for an anti-submarine belt.

You'll need to log in to post.
