you can see the massaging that was done on the floor inside the car... the bolts were there to help line everything up and then welded.

The more data I collect, the more I realize you won't really know how well it fits until you try it out. It is all dependent on the seat dimensions, what mounts you use, mount setup, your height, position preference and harness mounting setup.
Maybe in a few years as more people purchase Sparco Circuit2 or Evo2, there may be a standard established.

I run an OEM hardtop and still use door cards.

I don't use the seat bottom cushion right now. I would also like to remove the slider in the near future but I still likely won't need to trim the seat or modify the tunnel.

My Circuit 2 is the smaller of the two sizes.

Yeah pushing the seat back as far as possible forced me to shift the seat towards the inside of the car as far as possible on the seat rails to try to mitigate the halo wing hitting the hardtop. This is what forced me to trim the right thigh bolster where it hits the transmission tunnel. I basically moved the seat as much toward the center of the car as possible. If I was shorter and did not have to put the seat all the way back, I don't think I would have had either of these issues as I could have left the seat over further to the driver's side. Hitting the hard top with the halo wing only starts to occur when you slide the seat back. I am 6'2"-6'3" and 200 lbs 34" inseam 34" waist.

My plan is to go to a non-slider PCI mount if after doing the flat bottom steering wheel I still have issues with my knees hitting the wheel. I will know in a few weeks.... In the video I mention it, but I think I am a bit too big for an s2000 if I am really honest....but I'm not letting that stop me!

Quick update: I just got my aftermarket OMP Steering wheel in and the fit now with that wheel is perfect. No more knee-hitting-the-steering-wheel-during-heel-toeing problems! The Circuit 2 paired with the OMP Superquadro steering wheel, NRG Short hub and NRG quick release 3.0 is excellent! Steering wheel installation video here:
