A Sparco direct fit sub-frame for the Mitsubishi Carisma. Part number 00499030.
This is one of the cheaper frames in the range, which is down to what the car needs rather than to anything being left out. Frames are priced on the metal in them: some cars take a set of adaption bars onto existing runners, others need a full replacement frame reaching mounting points on different planes. The Carisma is at the simpler end.
Fitment
Steel, on the 345mm by 271mm base mount pattern, using the floor mounting points already in the car. Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats all share that spacing, whatever older copy on this range claimed.
Side mount competition buckets need side mounts or adaption bars fitted over the frame.
Ordering
One frame per seat, handed between RHD driver and RHD passenger. Order twice for both sides.
Tell us the seat when you order and we will confirm the pairing. Frames in this range are either complete replacements or adaption bars depending on the car, and the photograph is illustrative.
Check the floor around the mounting points before you commit to the spend.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Mitsubishi Carisma. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern). The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Sparco frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
