Yes, in my case at least.  I realized that next month my '90 will be 23 years old...and I  have been driving it for 1/3 of my life!  Yikes!

And for the really custom foamectomy follow the breadknife with the belt sander. I put 50 grit on my belt sander. It makes it easy to sculpt the foam to a nice cushy shape.   -Steven   From: Ken Bogart <mi...@thebogarts.net> To: bfra...@gorge.net Cc: miatapower@miatapower.net Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 2:24 PM Subject: Re: Miata Seat   You can do a foamectomy on them on 96/97's.    Remove the seat, loosen the seat bottom cover from the rear.  Use a breadknife to cut the bottom of the foam that sits in the dished out seat pan. Then put it back together.    Ken Bogart ----------------------------------------------------- 96 Montego Blue FFS Coldside (His) 97 Black & Tan (Hers) 90 Crystal White (sons) ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.miatacare.com http://www.cincimiata.com http://www.bcchallenger.org MiataMail.com list owner On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 3:28 PM, Brad Franks <bfra...@gorge.net> wrote: I think that only works to '94. The 95 and up cars had a laminated seat foam that makes this much more difficult. Or maybe it was the '96 cars that had those seats... I wrote one of the articles on Miata.net on removing seat foam for taller drivers.

To do this, you remove the cover to the seat, remove some seat foam, and put the seat cover back on.   I've done this to the seat in my '94. I'm about 1.5 inches lower than stock. And it's comfy.  Search miata.net for 'foamectomy'.     -Steven   From: "Abbott, Cameron" <cabb...@sierracollege.edu> To: "Wiseman, Curtis J" <curtis.j.wise...@lmco.com>; "Helsel, Walt" <walt.hel...@urs.com>; Bill Cardell <b...@flyinmiata.com>; "miatapower@miatapower.net" <miatapower@miatapower.net> Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 10:13 AM Subject: Miata Seat   Hopefully this is an acceptable place to ask this question – I am looking at swapping out my driver seat and want to find a seat for my 95, that will allow me to sit lower in the car (I hit my head on the hard top) and allows for the seat to be adjusted for a smaller driver (not fixed to the floor).  Suggestions?    Thanks, Cameron   CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message (including any attachments) contains information that may be confidential.
