Figured I would add the last couple things I have received for the car.....Exedy Stage 1 clutch (upgraded to 1.8 from my 1.6) and a Fidanza 1.8 lightweight flywheel (9.5lbs).

Well as some know I went to time the car on Saturday and ran into a small problem.....I need a new crank pulley (which I ordered from Rosenthal Mazda). The rubber insert unattached itself and the metal portion walked thus making my timing marks off.

On a side note I installed the drivers side SE Seat I got from Long, however I dont think im going to keep them. I do not feel safe running my harnesses without having belt guides like in dedicated race seats. The harnesses slip off if you pull yourself forward so I dont want to chance it for an accident.

So it looks like I will be selling these. Hopefully I will get what I paid for them.

I just bought a pair of Corbeau Forza Seats and rails. I was going to buy the FX1's, they look much nicer than the Forzas and are fiberglass, however after some research they will NOT fit in the Miata. The FX1 Pros will fit barely into the Miata, however my ass will NOT barely fit into them.

I actually can tell you that the FX1 does fit... I have an almost brand spankin' new one sitting in my house right now that I wanted to put in my miata. Unfortunately... I am still too tall (6'3") and my head hits the roof without my helmet being on. Yes, this is the FX1 as well, my 36" frame wouldnt fit in a Pro. :-D

I have been looking to sell or trade the FX1 for a set of non-yellow Forza's if you are interested. I have two forza's now, but they are that horrible horrible yellow color (got a good deal on them). If you want to do a 2 for 3 trade (my 2 yellow forzas + FX1 for your 2 Forzas (assuming they are any other color buy yellow) let me know! Of course your more than welcome to test fit the FX1 first to make sure, but it went into mine with no fitment problems.

I got a set of black Forzas (I changed my order from blue to black Long). Is the FX in perfect condition? Also what color is it? I'd be willing to trade u a Forza for the FX1 if I can fit in it correctly and as long as its in near perfect condition. I don't want your yellow ones lol. At least u would have one Forza that would obviously fit u and the car better. Let me know what you think.
