NC Miata Sparco Sprint Racing Seat Install
I got roughly 2 inches of drop by installing a Sparco Sprint seat into my 2006 mazda mx5 miata.
I do have an airbag light now now but I think I can get rid of that with a resistor. I'll make a follow up video about it if I end up fixing that.
The order I torqued everything after test fitting
1.Side mounts to seat
2. Side mounts to the base
3. Place it in the car
4. Torque the bolts attaching the base to the car
Sparco Sprint Weight: 18.7 lbs (measured by Goodwin)
PCI Bracket Weight: 13.5 lbs (estimated by above and below)
New combination: 32.2 lbs (measured with bathroom scale)
Original Seat: 30.8 lbs (measured with bathroom scale)
PCI Bracket Link: www.good-win-r...

Hey mate, thanks for the informative video. May I ask, did you need to hammer out the trans tunnel to make the seat fit? And 2nd question, does the seat contact the door when you close it?

@evan_off_track 11 месяцев назад

I did not end up needing to hammer the trans tunnel. And no it does not contact the door when I close it.

Awesome, my pci brackets arrived today. I’ve got the newer sprints, my last question is what size bolts did you use that mounts the seat to the side brackets? That’s all I need left and I’m good to go!

@Magii 10 месяцев назад

Oh and can you just reuse the oem seat rail bolts for the pci rails?

@evan_off_track 10 месяцев назад

Yep. Oem bolts work great. Good luck!

Hey; I am planning to run the lap belt buckle in a similar way as you; do you have any issues threading and clipping the belt into the buckle, is it not too tight to squeeze your hand through the lap hole? I am currently running the buckle over the top; the belt is tight-ish on the lap, but leaves a small gap - likely not being overly safe.

@evan_off_track 5 месяцев назад

Yes. I had a similar problem. On the street I mostly ran it on the outside of the seat. For track I would thread it through the hole in the seat, then buckle it. It was a tight squeeze but doable. It probably was safest for protecting my gut in a crash but somewhat dangerous. I don't think a safety worker would be very quick at getting me out if I were unconscious and the car was on fire. (very unlikely, but still). Since I posted this I actually took the 3 point out and switched to a 5 point so I can run a HANS device.

@evan_off_track I sold the car, but since my comment, I managed to fit the factory pretensioner behind the bucket seat at such distance that the belt was going through the hole nicely. Nevertheless, Sparco Sprints are super comfy, but I'll stick to factory seats in my new project car until I can't cope with gforces anymore haha
