Well, I went and did it! I got an Elise seat to fit in my RX-8:

Thanks for the inspiration, revlimiter!

I used the NA receivers that came on the 94-97 cars. They come bolted to this sliding rail thing and attached to the seat rather than bolted to the transmission tunnel.

NB receivers are actually the same, but the NB sliders are a bit different. The seatbelt rail is welded onto the rail rather than bolted onto the seat.

And thanks for the complement!

Hi revlimiter!

Nice seats! I have the seats now and am trying to send them for fitting soon. In your blog you mentioned u did not use the original NA seatbelt receivers. What receiver did you use then? Many thanks and thats a gorgeous car u have there!

I got mine from Lotustalk. Seems like that’s the best place to get them, no matter where you live.
