Bill,
Guess I'm the youngster here ( in Miata Years!! ) , I've only had my 93 LE
for 18 Years! 68,000 on the odometer... it is just getting broken in properly.
And yes that FMII is finally being installed on it... I just pulled the SC,
4 to1 header, and started rerouting the the wiring, throttle body, etc in
preparation...
You guys don't make a stainless steel water & oil line kit for the 1.6 FMII
do you? I saw the 1.8 Kit...

Katzkins are really well made. I think Crazy Red sells them.

Steven (Ken, Brad, Etc) - Thanks! Now all I need is a good
replacement seat cover and I am off to sculpting! Looks like there are a few
out there but it's hard to tell which ones are "quality". Any experience on
that front is appreciated.

... 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.

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.

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.

Unless you're prepared to go with a racing seat (and the attending
reduction of comfort), foamectomy is the way to go. 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'.

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
