The Mirco RTS-2 Stealth Edition, 525. Fibreglass shell, side mount, FIA 8855-1999, four point harness compatible, in black faux-suede with other trims on request, for a 32 to 36 inch waist and a driver under six feet.
The dearest RTS-2
The RTS-2 in 3D SpaceTech is 334. The Tasmanian Devil edition is 424, the Diamond Stitch red 431.66, the Abarth edition 439, and this Stealth edition is 525. It is the top of the RTS-2 tree and the faux-suede trim is the visible reason. If you want the RTS-2 shape at the lower price, the 3D version is the same shell.
Faux-suede
An alcantara-style fabric in black. It grips a race suit better than vinyl and looks the part in a road car, and it needs keeping clean. Other trims can be done on request, and personal name embroidery is an option.
Coloured shells
Black as standard, or blue, grey, orange, red, white or yellow to order.
Four point
Listed as four point harness compatible. A four point belt is not a head and neck restraint combination; if you are running a HANS, ask us about the six point seats in the range.
FIA and fitting
FIA 8855-1999, expiry on the label. Side mount, so mounts and a frame are separate. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: The Mirco RTS-2 Stealth Edition, Fresh Through Our Showroom, and Audi TT Mk1 with Mirco RTS-2 Seats, A Track-Ready Build. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Is the RTS the roomy one?
Yes, the RTS has the largest internal feel of the Mirco range, which matches its measurements and our showroom experience. If you have found other shells pinch at the hips, start here.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height 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. 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.
