Hi I'm Brian Cox. Im looking to purchase my first s2000 in the next month or two.
I live in Tucson and I'm curious if theres anyone around with an S2 with aftermarket seat and rails (or stock, preferably the former since i imagine i will probably need to do this if i end up with one) installed that would be willing to let me sit in it and gauge my fitment.
I'm 6'5" 180lbs even leg/torso proportions. Looked at a few threads about fitment and it seems like my height shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just want to be sure.
Thanks

. I actually managed to find one at a dealer in town and test drove it today (stock seats). I gotta say it's just an amazing car to drive! fitment is not an issue at all either. I can see how the new seat/rails mod would make it even better. Guess I have some hunting to do now. I look forward to posting a picture once I procure one.

Welcome. There are actually quite a few of us with aftermarket seats. I have Recaro Pole Position, Chris has a Bride (not sure what model), and the other Nate/Blaine have Buddy Club. It sounds like you are skinny enough that you would fit just about any of them.
What area are you located?

This car has been in Tucson for some time and has been out to a few meets. I remember when it was for sale about 5 years ago at Chapman used cars because it was actually a really good deal considering it had an OEM hardtop at that time in addition to the BBS wheels and Bilstein suspension. At least one of the previous owners kept it fairly clean.

Nice! I am glad it worked out, good to hear the stock seats are passable. I think in the long run you will be happier with an aftermarket seat although maybe not if you are going to daily drive it. There is an aftermarket rail (Backyard Special) for stock seat that drops 20mm, may or may not be enough to make a difference for you. Good luck with the purchase, I'm sure I will see you around sometime. Also, I'm on the far east side so it wouldn't be too hard to meet up if you want to check out the seats.

Thanks guys.
I'm in Phoenix and yeah I pick up from a guy in Tucson. Love it so far! Its getting a fresh clutch, ACT flywheel and HD PP hopefully next week. Going to have Madhav install.
Yeah LM's are timeless however I wouldn't mind trading for Volks/Works if anyone is interested.
