Seats from a 2005 Lotus Elise. These are the earlier model seats and not the Probax ones.
The driver seat has cutouts for shoulder harnesses and a sub belt mounting bar.
The seats are in very good used condition. There is a whiteish mark on the lower back portion of the seat on the driver side. I don't know what it's from. It was there when I got them.
$950 for the pair of seats. I won't split them up. Naturally, I'd prefer a local pickup situation to shipping. Shipping these was something like $200 and the guy already had a seat box from the seats he replaced these with. I do not have a seat-sized box and will have to locate one. So if I have to ship them, it'll probably be around $200, plus-or-minus.
For an extra $150, I'll include a pair of Flipside mounting brackets for NA Miata sliders.
Just out of curiosity - is that an little air pump for lumbar support or something?

You know the slot for anti-submarine belts? For Lotus drivers, it's located much further back...and it's inflatable.

Yeah, it's inflatable lumbar supports.
Paging mazdeuce, mazdeuce to the courtesy phone please.
There would be so nice in my NB... But my wallet is already empty.

My local race shop is giving me a couple of boxes so I can ship these now.

Damn, if only I hadn't just exploded the 5-speed in my NA and wasn't diving into a 6-speed/3.63 swap

I’ve got to try to find pictures of these in a C5 Vette. I got some money in my pocket and I would love to sit lower in the Vette.

Still got these. Somebody buy them! They’re awesome!
In reply to Lugnut :
Still have these? Keen to make this deal happen. Lmk
I’d try the parts for sale thread..... although it would be notable to have virtually half of your budget in a pair of seats.
I'm very interested in those Flipside seat brackets if you are willing to separate!

The seats and the Flipside brackets are gone. I still have a couple of other types of bracket, though.
I have a set of Lotus seats and a RyokuRob brackets that are solid but a major PITA to adjust so I'm looking for something that uses the stock sliders or equivalent.
Thanks!

He states just upstream that they've been sold...
