I want to test fit to see if I actually can get in and move my legs without removing my nutz.

You drive a Miata, I figured that was the first thing that went.

Say the people that haven't driven them

The only issue I have with my ****box is that it's vastly underpowered. A quick trip to the blower or snail shop can take care of that. I can count on one hand the number of times I felt true rotation in my Evo. I feel real rotation every time I drive the Miata.

And Chris you know as well as I do that the top down experience is hard to beat .

Have you tried Dallas imports? Both of those seats are popular with the honda crowd.

but you drive an evo and haven't signed up for the toys for tots day! how can you laugh at someone who regularly tracks their car (slow, and girly it may be), when your own car hasn't been driven to 3/10ths of its capability?

hint hint, sign up for the toys for tots day


sean: fixed back buckets are the way to go. all the ones i've tried are similiar, and rely heavily on the mounting of the seat for comfort and ease of getting in and out.

the adjustable back brides i've been in are for really skinny people. and they are only moderately supportive (comfy yes, supportive, not really). they do have huge bolsters, but they are soft foam, and not ridged which is what your looking for.

i have the recaro SPG, and SPG HANS... i got both of them used, and for half as much as a bride seat would run you.

edit again: just noticed bride VIOS for 400 on google... thats not bad. i got my SPG for 300 shipped on NASA's classifieds.

don't have to be a track **** to go to the track. hell last time i was out there, there was a volvo, and a trailblazer SS. its about learning the limits of the car, learning what its capable of, learning how to drive it.

i'm just sayin, if you haven't done it, your seriously missing out. (it is afterall, what the car was built for...)

Yup; their money, their car, their life, their choice.

This is America, you get no choice Kracka. BTW, don't you autox? I count that as time using the car for what it was made for.
