These are a set of Nakamae Type-S bucket seats that I got about a year or two ago. I love them, my GF hates them =)... so I'm getting her a MS F-type seat soon, so I can store that sucker away.

Love this interior, looks like it belongs in an issue of HyperREV or Roads&Ster, just perfectly done.

Hey what happened the the Vintage MOMO wheel you bought from Ricky? Let me know if you want to sell it.

[— Willywongka —]

Thanks, maybe someday I will swap out the 1.8 dash and get a RS Product / Zoom center console, till then this is how its gonna sit for a while.

Randy - I was actually thinking about selling the wheel, I'll keep you posted.

Those nakamae seats looks awesome. My one concern about them is if they provide enough distance between your head and say a rollbar. My main motivation to replace my seats is because I want my head farther away from the rollbar. Hence why I have considered lotus elise seats.

My head is well below the rollbar on my Nakamae seats, it helps that they come pretty close to sitting you on the floor, they sit really low, and Im only 5'8" tall.

You wouldn't happen to have a photo of the seat in the car with the headrest at max height would you?

No sorry, maybe Willis can hook you up with a photo of his? Mine are out of the car without seat rails.

Damn Will, that interior is so on point. Even with that 1.8 dash. ugh.

Why not buy a recaro Pole position for your gf? Does she not like the seat bc it's too narrow?

damn those nakamae seats look awesome! but looks like they fit the same as the corbeau classics, which means my fatass wont fit in them at all.

looks like ill never have any awesome seats.

I'll try to take a picture of them tomorrow with the headrests, but I know for a fact they are well below the rollbar. I am about 5'9" and my head is for sure below the rollbar.

Thanks! Well the problem isn't exactly the seat, its more the fact that she wants to sit in a seat that can recline for long trips. It may look a little funky with mismatched seats. I'll swap them in and out for shows / meets and what not.

Hahaha, well you know they need some breaking in. I have a buddy that is about a 36-37 waist and he says that my passenger seat is not bad. Then again we didn't drive around for very long so who knows. That passenger seat is actually a bit broken in so its a little bit wider.

wow those look great!! Thanks for the nice write up too!! Are these the same ones from the guy on ebay? I company out of Texas IIRC ??

I'm not sure if he's on eBay or not, but he's located out of Austin. Mostly works with old Porsche and vintage racer/hot rod types. His Website: http://www.classiccarseats.com/ When we test fit a few of the seats he had, the Nurburgring was about the only one that would come close to fitting, but he's got a few new options now. Depending on the seatback height, the Monza might fit. I'm not ready to get involved in that kind of project again for a while though. I think I'd like to try to make my own seat eventually, but that's going to be a looooong time from now. The Elise seat just has to be OK for the time being.
