 :thumbup: :thumbup: I can’t wait for my next trip to Ottawa. Next time I won’t turn the offer down to drive it. If I would have known I would not have had 3 drinks before dinner.

I'm looking into new seats for the Miata....but they have to be somewhat liveable on a daily drive.

Lots of bolstering.

Sorry but is that a sport-oriented brand of Graco? or Buddy EvenFlo?  :P

800?  I'd go and get a pair from Buddy Club for $350 each.  ;)

By the way....there's no advertising.   ;D

That actually wouldn't be too bad a price...  last set I saw for sale was on Civic rails, and iirc they were asking something like $1300.

Yup, S2000 seats are worth A LOT of coin.  And the rails are like $300 each, seats get expensive fast.

And we're talking about STOCK stuff!  Ugh.  Integra Type R seats are the worst, though...  look beautiful, if you can afford them.  :)

I almost picked up a set of leather buckets out of an RX-7, but the guy was a couple hours away...  still regret not putting those in, though.

You don't have aircare?


Also, I've heard that race headers decrease fuel economy.. true?
