Default FS: NC, Reverie Super Sports B FIA Carbon Fiber Racing Bucket Seat with mount, super low, incredibly light!

I posted a thread about this killer seat back in July when I installed it. My wife had originally told me that she had no plans to drive the car, and that she was fine with me installing the seat. Now my wife has changed her mind and decided that she actually does want to drive the car occasionally. Since she can't reach the pedals with this seat installed, it must go. Thanks dear. I thought about holding onto it, but I don't see the above changing any time soon. I'd rather see someone else put it to good use.

All of the critical details and lots of pics on this seat can be found in the thread above or here on the essex parts blog. This seat is one of the rare finds that actually fits the narrow S2000 cockpit properly. It is of extremely high quality, FIA homologated, incredibly lightweight, and it drops the driver down about as low as one can possibly go. As an added bonus, it also looks ridiculously cool.

The seat is in barely-used condition, since I've only sat in it about a dozen times! Everything required to install this seat on the driver's side of the car is included in the sale:

FIA Reverie Carbon Fiber Seat
Wedge Engineering Driver Side base mount
Custom Billet aluminum mounting brackets
Attachment hardware
Seat belt extender

All of the 'heavy lifting' is already done for whomever buys this setup. Buying the seat from the UK, importing it/managing shipping, finding an appropriate mounting solution, modifying that solution, and sourcing hardware is a fairly tedious and expensive process. All of that has been done for the buyer. All you'll need to do is assemble the seat in the car, and you'll have one of the lowest, lightest, and most unique seats available for the S2000.

I'm asking $1700 shipped CONUS. Payment by PayPal only. Please don't ask me to sell any of the components separately. The seat and mounting gear is being sold together, and I'm not looking for any trades. Email is the best way to initially reach me. Finally, please don't throw me any silly lowball offers. I know what quality, properly fitting carbon fiber seats go for, and you won't find a nicer one than this at any price. Some of the plastic race buckets imported from other countries sell for at least this much, and that doesn't even include all of the mounting equipment.











Before and after vs. OEM seat on a 6'4" driver:

Reverie has a seat dimension chart here on their site: Seat Size Guide :: Reverie
Dimension L looks to be the height of the shoulder belt opening, which works out to about 26 inches. I came up with 25" when I used a tape, but I must have had the seat at a slightly different angle.
