The Mirco RS2 in vinyl, 375. Seat only, fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, integrated headrest, FIA 8855-1999, four or six point harness compatible, HANS friendly, any height, 32 to 36 inch waist. Thirty-six sold, thirty-four photographs.
The wipe-clean RS2
The RS2 in mesh has 84 sales and this vinyl version 36, which is the split you would expect: mesh for the cars that get hot, vinyl for the ones that get wet. Same deep RS shell, same homologation, and the vinyl is 20 more at 375. Thirty-four photographs, which is the RS2 in nearly every colour Mirco do it in.
Colours
Black, or black with green, white, blue or red, and Mirco quote over 250 colour options beyond those. Shell in black, blue, grey, orange, red, white or yellow. Name embroidery available. Made to order beyond black; the grey-shell RS2 at 410 is a ready example.
Belts and HANS
Four or six point, HANS friendly. Six with a head and neck restraint.
FIA and fitting
FIA 8855-1999, expiry on the label. Any height. Seat only, side mount, so side mounts and a frame for the car are separate. A pair in vinyl is listed at 720. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Which Seat Is Right For You? Mirco RS2 VS RS7, and Ford Escort MK2 with Mirco RS2 Bucket Seats. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
How does the RS2 compare for getting in and out?
It is the easiest shell in the Mirco range to get in and out of, because the side bolsters roll off rather than boxing you in. That comes from sitting in them on our showroom floor, not from a brochure, and it is why the RS2 suits a car you use every day.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
