Review: Cobra Nogaro seats (uniquely street friendly fixed back bucket seat)

[Cubieman]

Ha, awesome. Pretty sure I bought the same exact thing as you: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...244#post204244 Has worked well for me.

I've got my nuts stashed under the seat as well. Don't really find the need to mess with it too much while driving. If I feel like I need more/less support, I can always pull over and mess with it.

On my, you really did an awesome job there, I just threw my bag behind the seat back padding as it came out of the box. I gotta sit down and read your journal, very neat stuff going on.

Using a $25 eBay lumber bag worked out well, unfortunately the line isn't long enough so the pump (or "nutsack") is under the seat and cannot be pumped up while driving, oh well.

Well worth it, and well worth the $125 savings vs. the Brey Krause lumbar bag even if the BK bag had a longer line or lasts longer the price difference is massive.

That would likely work, one could just coupler a longer piece in, not like it's some crazy amount of air pressure.
I'll try that and report back, if the $25 bag could be made better with another $5-10 in tubing/coupler and it lasts a decent amount of time seems like a no brainer to me

Curious to hear about your results. I’ll report back on the Corbeau lumbar support when I get mine.

[Cubieman]

I bet you could extend the tubing. I was looking at the Corbeau lumbar support. $55 and the line should be long enough to reach the front.

That's basically my POV with the seat in the reclined position, for me it would be perfect if the bracket had a hole in the position between the two holes. But we can't always get what we want.

[heinzboehmer]

For reference I’m 5’7”, 160 lbs, 30-31” waist (athletic build).]

I'm 5'11" (long legs/short torso though) and my view out of the car is pretty much the same.

Haven't measured my torso, but for reference, my shoulders sit just barely below the top edge of the harness holes on a Sportster CS and right in line with the bottom edge of the harness holes on a Pole Position ABE.

Just wanted to chime in for the other short kings and queens who are unsure if they’ll be able to see over the steering wheel. I’m using the top hole in both the front and rear, and I think the position is perfect for street driving. Hopefully the photo lets you get a sense of what it would be like. I could prob use the bottom hole in the rear, and it would be about the same height as my old Sparco Circuit.

Can’t speak for leather or vinyl center cushions, but with the dynamica/suede cushions, I stay planted in the seat. I just made a 2.5 hour drive this morning, and I had zero discomfort.

For reference I’m 5’7”, 160 lbs, 30-31” waist (athletic build). If you’re in Austin or the Houston area (Katy) and would like to check out the Nogaros, feel free to reach out.

I received the BK seat mounts this afternoon, and they added a second hole in the rear for height adjustment. I’m hoping it was to increase the height, and not to add an even lower position. They could’ve added a third hole on top of the existing two in the front to allow for more tilt, since there is enough space for it. I was also surprised to see that the packaging changed from the shitty cardboard + clear plastic to bubble wrap.

[Cubieman]

Damn, those CSL seats are nice! Would have bought those but got a great deal on the standard seats.

As far as seating height, I'm 5'10 and I set the seat in the upright position, I can see fine as I stuffed another bit of foam padding into the cusion but the upright postion is quite uncomfortable in my opinion.

Last night I set the seat to the reclined position, sitting in it I can't quite see the bulge on the hood, feels to low for me however I have yet to drive it.

WOW! I love those! I would buy those and put my OE CSL seats in the store LOL

Cobra made 18 CSL clone Nogaros using the correct alcantara and center insert cloth. Not my cup of tea but still pretty interesting.

Also, for my short kings and queens, what did y’all do to be able to see over the steering wheel? I’m installing my seats today or tomorrow, but I have a feeling that I’ll need to raise my seat a little.
