The Mirco S3000 is the non-competition seat in the range. Unlike the RS1, RS2, GT, RS7 and RTX-7, it does not carry FIA 8855-1999 homologation, so it is not suitable for events where an approved seat is mandatory. What it gives you instead is the same fibreglass shell construction and ergonomic design Mirco are known for, at a price that reflects the absence of the approval process.
Part code MircoS3000-Velour-black-Grey. This is a fixed trim: black velour fabric on the centre, grey velour on the outer bolsters, white and grey stitching throughout with matching embroidery, black shell. If you want a different colour combination, the RS2 and GT ranges take trim orders across 250 options. This listing is for a single seat.
At 8.2kg the S3000 matches the GT in weight. The 95kg and 190cm limits are the widest in the range, matching the RS2, so there is room for taller and heavier drivers without moving up to the competition range. The design includes five belt slots, removable leg and back support, and integrated head protection. The stainless steel side fasteners are the same fixing method used across all the Mirco FIA seats, so any subframe that takes the RS2 fits this too.
The S3000 suits anyone who wants a high-back bucket seat for road use, track days, or a sim rig but does not need or cannot use a competition-approved seat. If your event or series requires an FIA-rated seat, the RS1, GT, RS2 or RS7 are the relevant options.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Bespoke Black and Grey Mirco S3000 Bucket Seat Arrives In Store, and Mirco S3000 Track Day Bucket Seat In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
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 this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.
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 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.
