My goal was always to have a really clean car I can have fun with, because the more perfect it is, the less you'll want to actually drive it.
Gotta find that balance.

These are the best seats ever put into a Miata from factory. They come with the Brembo/BBS/Recaro package, which is $4470 and gets you the brakes, the wheels, and the seats. This fucker is trying to sell the seats for $4500

I know that because I ordered a car for a customer that arrived sans Recaros. Mazda didn't let anyone know there was a production constraint on the Recaro seats at the time, so when the car showed up without the key bits... it was not good.
Luckily I was able to source the last available 2019 MX-5 soft top in ceramic with the Brembo/BBS/Recaro package and atransmission in Oklahoma for the customer. Had it shipped from there to our dealer in NJ and all was good again.

That’s absurd! Why so expensive from Mazda?????
for ceramic. I was looking for ND1 Club’s for a while, but after certain events the numbers no longer added up.

Leather plus alcantara AND FIA crash certified.
I can have 1 of these, a proper bracket, an SCCA approved roll bar installed, an FIA 6 point harness, and an FIA HANS device all for the price of one of those seats.

The point is that those seats individually from Mazda are way too fucking expensive.
insurance companies. You're not supposed to buy them in any other circumstance. OEM parts like that are never priced for individuals to actually buy. https://www.recaro-automotive.com/us/dy ... ortster-gt

But driving with a rollbar withot a helmet on the street is fine. Driving with harnesses and no helmet and no HANS on the street is not fine. That’s how you end up with your head snapped off and sitting in your lap.

The correct way to have a roll bar is to have the seat lowered far below it and have plenty of padding on the bar. For example, in my dad’s NB, I sit way below the roll bar even in the stock seats, and they’re padded. Zero percent chance of me cracking my head on the roll bar. Seatbelt wouldn’t allow it and if I did reach that heigh in a crash I have bigger problems.
can be true... sadly I am too large a person for that to really be possible in a Miata.
