Purists may scoff at me, and points getting taken away at events, but I LOVE my
Miata seats in my TR4A. They have side bolsters, infinite adjustments, and
speakers in the headrest! Got them from a junkyard in LA. $125 for the pair.
Made some adaptor plates from aluminum stock and used the existing holes to
mount them.
They should fit a TR3 as well.
