Well my other half wants another car for herself too.
She wants newer STi as a DD so she doesn't have to drive the other one to work with 550 lbs springs in the front! Looking to get rid of the 92 Silver to someone who wants to build a Chump car. That will clear a spot in the driveway and some space in the garage when I give him 2 motors and all the other stuff to go with it.

You've covered all the bases! And this new na just happens to be the Z06?? My two garages are now full and before I can purchase another car one must be sold.... Direct Orders from "she who must be obeyed". The 93 LE has been with me much too long to get rid of it... it is like an old friend. This sounds crazy but I'd love to have a 58 Impala, and a 64 Corvair Spyder Turbo... crazy huh!

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 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] 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.

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...

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.
