A little, and I mean little research, shows me that the SHO is only going to be happy with corbeau seats!!! So the question is, I'm lets say large, not huge but I weigh 215lbs and am 5'10", would you go with a wide seat if you were me, oh yeah I'm down 10lbs from the beginning of the year and hopefully going to be at 190 by september, so that's a factor. I was looking at the a4 model (cheapest). So for the driver and passenger total would be around 6-700 ish including brackets. Any thoughts are appreciated, any one know of seats that will fit corbeau brackets. I'm using corbeau brackets cause I don't trust my self to modify "universal brackets" rather safe than sorry right.

Putting $700 seats in a $500 car seems a little ridonkulous to me...

I'd scrap the SHO and buy a car you actually want.

Shush with your logic, but I mentioned your response to the wife and got a positive reaction

See, now unlike me you have spousal approval, so get a new car!

There's lots of FB RX-7's up here ;)

Don't forget to keep some cash set aside for when my old motorcycle hits the market this Spring.

Ha I'm from DC my wife is from jersey so when I go on mid tour leave from afganistan we'll meet up that should give you time enough to get her running!

So Rx7s are tempting though I fear that engine LOL. Z31s are a car I loved owning, same with my old z28. This won't happen till march after I get back from the desert in California, so I have plenty of time. And actually I hate that sho, I loved my 300zx so many mods to be done, same with the camaro, I'm thinking a forced induction 3.8l rs would be pretty sweet

At your size the FX1 sounds like a perfect fit if you can deal with a fixed back fiberglass shell. And in a 4 door car that would be less of a problem. I had an FX1 in my Sentra and I loved it, very comfy for a fixed seat. The miata would have inherited it if I could have closed the door with the window up :).
