Two Mirco RS1 seats in black 3D SpaceTech, 729 for the pair. Fibreglass, side mount, FIA 8855-1999, black, for 32 to 36 inch waists and drivers under six feet. Two pairs sold, eight photographs.
Fifteen under two singles
The RS1 in 3D is 372 on its own, so two are 744. This pair is 729. Not a large saving but a real one, and it comes with both seats cut from the same run of mesh.
The RS1
One of Mirco’s RS shells, deeper through the sides than the GT, with lateral head support on the single listings. Listed here for drivers under six feet, which is Mirco’s shell height guide; sit in one if you are close to it.
Ordering
Both seats come homologated to FIA 8855-1999 with their own dates on the labels. They are side-mount shells, which puts two pairs of side mounts and the car’s frames on the same order; give us the registration and we will add them at the right prices.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: OMP RS-PT 2 VS Mirco RS1, and The Mirco RS1, Perfect For Your MX-5 Racecar. 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 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.
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.
