The Mirco RTX-7 in black velour with fluorescent green stitching, 349. Fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, FIA 8855-1999, four or six point harness compatible, HANS friendly, black, for a 32 to 36 inch waist and drivers over or under six feet. Ten sold.
Ten sold, and it costs nothing extra
The plain RTX-7 in velour is 349 and so is this. Black velour with a fluorescent green thread through the seams, which is enough colour to be noticed and not enough to date the car. Fifteen photographs on the listing show the stitching in daylight. Ten people have chosen it over the plain one, which at the same price is not surprising.
The RTX-7
Mirco’s mid-range homologated shell: deeper than the GT through the sides, listed for tall and short drivers, and the seat we sell most of across all its trims.
Belts, shell, fitting
Four or six point compatible, HANS friendly, six point with a head and neck restraint. FIA 8855-1999 with the expiry on the label. Shell in seven colours and name embroidery to order. Side mount; side mounts and a frame come separately. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: One pair only: the Mirco RTX-7 Blue Stitch Limited Edition has landed in the showroom, and A Mirco RTX-7 in a sim rig: fitting an FIA bucket seat to an aluminium profile cockpit. 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 over 6ft and 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 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.
