    As I said , I doubt that you can move far enough for a full containment seat, in a Miata. I have put many in stock cars and such and they get tight. The biggest obstacle is the end of the steering column. The wheel/shaft often needs an extension to come back to the driver , back in the tunnel of a seat. The egress point is about even with the steering wheel or a little in front of the wheel.

    I spend a good bit of my time as a Guardian Ad Litem. I have been knocking down legal dominoes all week trying to get the paperwork inlne so that one child can be adopted.His MOm in NC just needs to sign a little paper, but it has to come from her FL. lawyer, whom I can not contact directly. Ihave found a lawyer near her , for a100$ will handle her end of it . But as usual it is out of protocol.

    So yes, i often have a really poor outlook regarding rules and safety , watching you guys worry about insignificant little items in your world.
    Sorry , back to lurking . MM

    Thanks for the information. I do read the rules but the version of the IT rules I downloaded from the intertubes did not have that allowance. It all may be for nought due to fitment. I did find the allowance in a downloaded version of the GCR from 2013.

    Thank you.

    SM and IT have slightly different door panel rules. IT wants some sheet panel there, where SM can cut the inner panel away and not replace.

    Pursuant to another thread, possibly in another bar, how would removal of the vent windows affect aerodynamics?
