Seriously, let me touch it.
Well, let me be more specific…
I’m looking to check out any after market steering wheels and/or seats that you guys may have in your cars.
Right now I’m 90% sure I’m going to get a Nardi Deep Corn in 350mm and MAYBE go with Corbeau A4s, unless I can secure some Elise seats (ideally).
I’d like to get a feel for it before I go ahead and purchase these.
Any experience, let me know. That would be great as well.

I have a SPARCo 383 wheel in my car (same wheel that I had in the Miata that you drove). Also have a sparco corsa (for sale), sparco evo 2, and sparco evo 2+.
This is for the Miata I assume? I would seriously consider ultra shields before a corbeau. They are way more comfy than they look and you will be able to mount them lower to ensure adequate head clearance.
i have one of these you can fondle
I love my kirkey race seats I have… but I am not sure if I would run them on a DD…
I have a knock off OMP wheel for the Civic and I love it. 350mm 4in deep dish in suede. Very good quality and it cost $57 shipped. I liked it so much that I bought another one for the Mini which is currently hanging on my wall.
If you feel like squeezing into the garage where my car is stored you’re welcome to sit in my Corbeau FX-1 Pro’s. I also have a standard FX-1 (non pro) which is slightly larger in the garage if you want to compare.
Baker’s seats are perfect for skinny dudes.
I have the Nardi wheel in my Nova if you haven’t handled one yet. Love it.
I seem to recall a MX-5 JDM option Nardi wheel for the NB. Not what your looking for? I’m sure it stupid expensive.
I put a 3 spoke Celica GTS wheel in my MR2…best addition to my interior.
I had a deep corn in suede and it was amazing. Sold it to paul b. As far as seats go, recaro pole positions. Period. Have them in my m3 and there’s nothing better
Recaros are nice, but I drive a go-cart lol.
I ended up buying this tonight:
Lotus Elise Probax seat, just the one for now. Eventually I’ll try to get the matching passenger seat but I’m okay with it.
I ordered a Nardi Deep Corn in 350mm, along with a Daikei hub. Just need a bracket for the seat and I’m done spending money.
Income tax return = coilovers
Then it’s back to saving for oh shit money for the house.
Nice, the Probax are 100x better than the plastic seats I had haha
Income tax return = coilovers
Then it’s back to saving for a turbo kit.

I was actually about to pull the trigger on an FM Voodoo kit, but because I have the VVT motor, it’s going to be a bit more of a pain in the ass than I expected.
I’m settling with a beefy N/A car. With a tune I can squeeze out a bit more HP, I’ll be okay with that.
And by “beefy N/A car” you mean LS swap right? All kidding aside I’m sure that thing is super fun to drive as is. My civic is dangerously under powered and I still have a blast bombing around off ramps. Have you installed the steering wheel yet?
If I had a miata, every time I wanted to modify it my first question would be “is it a better value to just sell this and buy an S2000”
Where the hell did you find that seat at? $700-ish? if you don’t mind me asking.
It was posted on CR.net for maybe 10-15 mins…I got it $650 shipped from Oregon lol. It’s mint!
As far as modding and wanted an S2K, I don’t think I’ve ever thought that. I’m happy with the platform I have, the S2K is a great car, but if I were to want anything more I would just do an LS1 swap.
My car has a cobalt steering wheel you can touch.
The whole one seat thing always kinda annoyed me. Regardless, shit looks nice! Post installed pics.
When you getting a second seat?
Whenever one pops up, they are super hard to come by.
