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

[Obioban]

So if you had seats without the lumbar support I suppose it's something you could add later then and just drill a hole big enough for the tube and maybe a little grommet?

Yes… but carefully follow all fiberglass drilling best practices. You’d be sad if you splintered it! And, be careful to avoid doing it to any areas that would be loaded in a crash.

I will say, no small part of my enthusiasm for this seat is actually fitting in a car. 6'3-6'4 makes cars a PITA, especially with a helmet.




Went through all my pictures, and this is as close as I have to that:



It's just a hold in the lower back of the seat

Cobra Nogaro paired with this steering wheel spacer have made a world of difference for me at 6'5.5". Headroom was never much of an issue (car is a slicktop), but there's tons of room now, even with helmet. It feels very 'rally car' being low down with steering wheel ~2" closer to chest. Also gives more room for knees

Apologies as I may have missed it in the 32 pages, but do you have a photo of where your lumber tube goes through the seat?

I drove the car today and turns out I was tripping, I can totally see the hood from my seating position after all

[Gearhead55]

I got a power bulge you can see right here

I can see that power bulge from a mile away

Wait I don't think I can see the power bulge in my nogaro with brey krause mounts.

Interesting, my memory isn't the best but I swear with stock seats my view was just over the wheel seeing the very top of the hood. I have a perfect view of the cluster and don't seem to remember any issues with that running stock seats either.

Maybe I can see the hood, I'll pay attention next time I drive the car. Also cluster visibility may be impacted by the angle that I like to have my steering column at. Having my hands be comfortable is more important to me than seeing the gauges, since I'm shifting by sound anyway and never really look down on track (except to check temps).

Wait I don't think I can see the power bulge in my nogaro with brey krause mounts. I'm 6'2" and baaaaarely fit with a helmet on. My helmet kinda hits the window frame if I'm moving my head around. And the steering wheel blocks the view of the top of my tach and speedo (which bugs the shit out of me).

Y’all want to see the hood?? I can barely see above the steering wheel, and that’s how I prefer it lol.

On the track car I would prefer the current seating postion, but in traffic I just don't like sitting that low.

At 5'9 I can barely see the power bulge at this point even with extra foam stuffed into the cushion and a towel on top of the cushion. I am excited to try these different mounts ASAP.

Just PM'd you. I have an R-9222 I would like to sell.

I think you'll be real happy with them then!

Having mine slightly more reclined is way more comfortable for me. Downside is that backseat access is even worse, and it was already bad.
