Not if you're a normal size human, no.  They will squeeze the shoulder blades and make it feel like you want to tear your own spine out within 7miles, its which i hate Bride chairs (but love them aesthetically). |

They both fit in the car with no problems, and they're both really comfy ... I'm 5'11 and just under 13 stone, maybe 33 waist. The smaller one is lower, not narrower ... the fit at the waist is the same. They differ at the top, but all that changes is how much support they offer rather than the shape of the curve
I've done a 3 day tour up to Scotland and round a bit in the larger seat ... about 1200 miles with no issues. I wouldn't want to try that in a cheaper seat!

I was referring to if it fits in the car given the height difference
It looks fantastic to sit in, so good to hear it does fit a 5 and serves well!

The shoulder wings just nudge the door tops but I'd rather have that than put up with a less comfy seat. Don't forgetcmy car has dropped floors so what fits in my car might not fit other MX5s Seats are such a personal thing, people are different shapes and as per the other comments, something I love will be awful to someone else Russell |

Did you buy something you sold to me ? Ha ha, yep!!🤣 Fujitsubo RM-01a exhaust, about the best money can buy unless you go to a full titanium exhaust. I bought an MX5parts exhaust but the quality just isn't there, so having thought about it for a bit I bought another one. Just over £800 once all the shipping and import tax is paid! So now I just need to find a manifold that will do it justice ... gutted my Fujitsubo one went walkabout as that would have been perfect Russell |
