I bought them new via an EBay store located in Melbourne, cost was $294 for a pair.

OKIBI posted pics of another brand to fit NB8A in another area of the forum.


I found this pic on my other PC

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I did look them up last year and whilst I cannot recall the brand, I did recall the price ...... $1300 AUD :shock:

Correct Wun, nb8a lights are rounder, nb8b lights have a bit more "edge" to them.

WAIT WAIT I missed that how heavy are NC seats???

Could you please weigh them with the rails, if you don't have accurate scales I will get one of my drug mules to come over and weigh them.

Well umm ... actually I took every possible measurement when fitting the new seats EXCEPT weighing them. I can take a seat out and weigh it for you ..... maybe, although I have been considering the possibility of modifying the selt belt plenum to gain more rear seat recline in future.
Take my word that the NC seats weigh a good deal less than the NB(A) seats, maybe you could get Chris at MX5Racing to weigh an NC seat and I will be happy to weigh my NB8A seats before they are sold - anyone need NB8A seats?
