I'm guessing it is a bottom mount seat.

Bride makes a bottom mount super low seat rail for the s-chassis that I am running in my vert. I love it, and don't have any clearance issues at all(although I'm not a big guy)

Nice seat BTW

Edit: You may also have issues with the seat hitting the vert door panel if you haven't done the coup/hatch door conversion.

i made my own seat rails out of my old stock seat rail just by unbolting the rail from the stock seat and then finding places to drill some holes in the new seat and bolted it up with locktight and bam instant seat rail

I think I figured out a way.

Buy an MO rail & use the RO->MO adapter they sell.

They sell that adapter to allow RO rails to run older seats that require the MO rail.

So it would make sense that you can buy that same adapter and run an RO seat on an MO rail, yes?

Can't gaurantee it will work of course, haha.

MO OFFSET TYPE ADAPTOR (A08NPO)It is used for N045MO, N049MO, and T052MOMO OFFSET TYPE ADAPTOR (A09NPO)It is used for N046MO, N050MO, and T051MO
Another possibility would be to buy a Sparco Seat Rail or just the MO Rail & hope you only need to drill a couple more holes to fit everything.

Mounting dimensions of CUGA found via Google is

"Mounting dimension : Length 260mm X Width 405mm"

You just need a seat rail that is at least that wide & long w/ metal there to drill.

Call up FRSport again, they'll hook it up. Tell 'em, "QV bested you! POTATO!"

Obviously no gaurantee it will work @ all, but if you really wanna try it, you'd just ask for MO rail (they make that for the s13/14) & the part # for the RO->MO adapter is in my quote/link above.

Again, I have no clue if it will really work - I've only run sparco bottom mount (which I redrilled to fit Sparco style seats w/o the universal slider) & side mount rails.

Wish I could be of more assistance.
